Overall a very quality product. The assembly time in some of the reviews I read were very aggressive. Pros: Quality wood and hardware. The instructions were great, very detailed and offered many good guides throughout the assembly. Cons: I was missing three boards, all rafters. Two of the rafters were detailed with miter cuts and a rabbit. I am a retired carpenter so instead of waiting for who knows how long to get these, I fabricated these. I only had one other helper, also a retired carpenter. The panel assembly took the longest. I had two other friends help in raising and fastening the roof panels. I still gave it a 4 star because it looks great, is of high quality and the packaging was good. Expect to spend a couple of hours peeling off the protective wrap off the roof panels and drip edges.

Despite shipping delays this is a great gazebo. We did the installation ourselves if your handy and have the correct rooms it isn't so bad follow the instructions that were very clear and you will be fine however it did take me and my husband about 4 days to complete we worked on it a little at a time. The roof most definitely needs 3 to 4 people. But once it was done I'm completely satisfied with it tons of compliments also the power port is a well added bonus.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice looking gazebo! I built the whole project myself using only the instructions supplied. I did download the video, but the instructions were good enough to complete the project. The project is forgiving enough that you don't have to be exact on your measurements or squareness, but the closet you are, the easier it will go together for you. I poured four concrete pads for the legs and got those nice and level and I made them 24 inches square and that have me plenty of room to make adjustments to the awareness of the base once I started the assembly of all the component pieces. I would recommend at least two helpers when putting the roof pieces up because they were too awkward for me to get them in place by myself. My only complaint is that one piece of structure was damaged by a tomorrow fork, but it turned out to be hidden once the project was completed and I didn't have to wait on getting a replacement part. Overall, great looking gazebo at a fair price! I'm glad it is finished and we can enjoy it. It took me about a month to finish it from sight prep to completion, but I did work alone on 95% of it, so a helper would save you a lot of time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although the instructions were difficult to understand for the guys we hired to put the gazebo together, the finished product looks great on our deck and has provided wonderful protection from the rain and sun

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gazebo is beautiful and functional. It adds a lovely covered space to my backyard and allows us to be outside more. It is a great place to sit under in a rainstorm or when the sun is beating down. We love it.

I bought this last summer for my concrete patio. After some back and forth with the company contracted (through the backyard discovery website) to put these together, we ended up putting it together ourselves. It was not easy because we did not have the correct ladders or other equipment needed. Otherwise, we really like it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased the 20x12 Barrington a few months ago. As folks who has tackled numerous DIY projects, we can attest the clarity and detail provided n the instructions were unparalleled. each step was clearly outlined, accompanied by detailed diagrams and labeled pieces, making the assembly process remarkably straightforward. The use of the precision pre-drilled components streamlined the installation process as well. We chose the Barrington 20x12 Gazebo after searching for several months for just right Gazebo. We can proudly say that the THIS exceeded our expectations in every way, providing us with a magnificent sanctuary to cherish the beauty of our butterfly garden and honor the memory of a beloved family member that passed on Christmas day 2022. Its exceptional design, durability, and ability to evoke a sense of peace and comfort make it an invaluable addition to our backyard oasis. We are truly grateful for the serenity, family gathering space and beauty it has brought to us.

I bought the Cordova 14x10 about a month back. My skills are electronic...I'm a handyman, but not a skilled carpenter. What was really apparent was this is a USA MADE product and the documentation was, too. It was hands down the best assembly document I've ever seen for any product. Bought it direct from Backyard Discovery...price better than other kits out there and it was perfect for my 14x12 patio (with 2' roof overhang). Some things that stood in my way of completion...1 - a lot of rainy days before I could start...2 - given the time lapse, discovered just a few slightly warped rafter boards along the way...totally useable...missing one upper post bolt and one pair of roof panel brackets for the 14' sections. Now, here's where I'll give HUGE kudos to their support. The first call was for the upper bolt missing. Not a deal breaker for time. I called and I got it two days later. However, closing in on roof panel completion...I needed the missing roof brackets and there was a threat of heavy rain in two days. The standard response would get it to me in 2-3 days. I replied that it would set me back a week due to rain...even willing to pay extra for overnight. Well...the person emailed the warehouse/manufacturing location...I had one in my hands the next day...no extra charge! THAT was service! The impressive part? Everything lined up well (I did need to drill a few offset pilot holes ion the perluns due to a few warped rafter boards...but all is just fine!). Now, at 63, I assembled all of it myself and some help with my sister-in-law (grabbing parts, holding a tape measure and moving roof panels). It took me longer than most due to high humidity an upper 80's to upper 90's heat & heavy humidity. (Not to mention rain delays.) I had a good friend and my son to help hoist the roof panels. You can raise panels with two, but I highly recommend three for the 14' sections. Here's a couple hints: Placing close to your home...keep in mind that you may not be able to push the metal roof lock-in trim from the bottom on the house-side. So...I did the two small 10' panel raises first...then, the 14' section closest to the house. Couple that with the fact that I did not install the roof hip until just before installing the last panel so it wouldn't chance getting battered moving panels into place -and- I installed the house-side metal roof panel joiner from the top-side down because the 'house got in the way being so close to it. After that, we installed the last panel...loosely bolted...then tightened in the order dictated by the manual. One more issue...tightening the roof panels. Well, this brought in the metal roof channels really close where the roof panels meet on the diagonals. So close that the metal joining strips would tend to pop out sliding them up. What to do? Well, they're already bent at an angle along the ridge going up...all I had to do was squeeze them tighter working my way up. It held really well. After completing it...we love it! (Just finished today.) Only question in my mind is the flashing at the bottom of the panels. Instructions say to install the metal panels flush to the bottom. Then, the flashing trim over the top and down. But, won't that be conducive to water rolling along the side of the roof panel lower frame? I'll be installing gutters on this, but that fact has me perplexed a bit. I'll figure it out...or, if someone has their own solution, please respond. Overall, I'll still give this a 5 based on how impressive the instructions were, accuracy of of hole & pilot locations and the beauty of it installed. Installing in the heat was taxing, but well worth the savings...even at my age! ;)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and sons assembled this two weeks ago & it looks great. They mounted an outdoor ceiling fan and lights to make it even better. We had some very strong winds over the weekend and were happy to see it didn't even budge the gazebo. Very happy with it so far!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought online with included installation. Arrived on time in good condition. The installers promptly put it together and did a good job. Had it about a year now. Excellent quality and appearance. Couldn’t be happier with it
