We purchased this gazebo a few months ago and we are very happy with it. Everything was included that we needed to erect it. The lumber was pre-cut to the correct dimensions and the holes were all pre-drilled. Our sons helped us build it on a Saturday and we were finished by mid-afternoon. The only thing we didn't realize until after we purchased it was that we were strongly encouraged to apply a sealer to all the lumber before erecting it. While that required a little extra prep time, we're glad we did it. Other than that, everything was as we expected.

After looking at this gazebo for a long time, we finally made the purchase and love it! It did take us longer than 2 days, but we were not in a hurry, took our time and made sure we had all pieces put together correctly. We highly recommend to read the printed directions and to watch the videos. Use the specifically coded boards and hardware that are listed in the directions and everything should work and come together. To install roof panels, definitely need a minimum of 3 strong men. We did have a couple of pieces that were damaged in shipment and had to be replaced, with one being a main column. We called customer service and they shipped both pieces in a very timely fashion (also we were within the 30 day warranty). It is well worth the time and money we invested. Now we’re ready to enjoy and share great times with friends and family.

I purchased this in August of 2022 at a local Sams. Thought it would be a great addition to my stone patio. I used it almost daily as I installed a fan inside of it with shades for the sides that are in the direct sun. I also bought a small propane heater to use it in cooler temps. Great for watching baseball and enjoying the nice fresh air.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The gazebo parts arrived in 3 boxes on a pallet. Very heavy. All the parts and bolts are nicely labeled. This gazebo requires at least 2 people to put together—and more people to attach the roof. Overall it is an attractive structure and is very solid. It is a good kit and worth the money

We bought this gazebo to provide some much-needed shade for poolside seating. Our patio is in full sun all day and we decided on the 16x12 Barrington to give us the largest seating area that fit the space. We have a huge patio set underneath it where it feels 10 degrees cooler on the hottest days. I built this myself, and only required help at 2 points in the build. I needed help at the beginning to get the posts stood up and then again at the end to get the roof structure hoisted and installed. Setting up the post sections were pretty simple and 2 helpers made that an easy task. Setting up the roof panels was definitely more complicated, the smaller 12' sections weren't too bad with 2 helpers and a few clamps. The 16' roof sections were a bear, 3 helpers (4 ladders) were needed - one at each post, one in the center of the posts and me up at the peak. Also needed 4 clamps once in position and then having the right hardware and tools ready was necessary. I personally wouldn't try it with less than 4 people due to the safety risk. Everything else about the installation went exactly according to the manual. Everything was cut, pre-drilled and lined up without any issues. Everything squared up pretty easily and the hardware was pretty high quality, and you get extra of everything because inevitably you will lose or strip some of the hardware. Installing the posts anchor bolts into my patio were probably the hardest part. I used a hammer drill with a carbide bit and still some of the anchor bolts snapped. I went out and bought some blue tapcons and painted them black after installing. All in all, for the price this is probably the nicest Gazebo on the market. The snow and wind ratings are what sold me and I'm happy in the decision. I would have liked the choice of a darker stain on the wood, but when it comes to re-stain I will go darker. Otherwise we love it. I had to contact customer support for a question on a Sunday, and they were available on chat and quickly helped me resolve it. Someone even ran out to check one they had pre-built on site to confirm a measurement question. Really appreciate that!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased a 16 x 12 gazebo; it was delivered in 6 well packed boxes; most holes were pre-drilled (accurately); hardware was first class and extra pieces were included for most items; everything was well marked; the instruction book was well designed and easy to follow; even came with an electrical panel; everything went together nicely and assembly was easy. I would recommend this item to anyone.

We built this gazebo for our backyard last summer and by my experience it is without a doubt the best in class for a self assembly product of this type. From the detailed assembly manual to the quality of the components it far exceeded our expectations. This gazebo is tough enough to withstand the elements and it is a real delight to have. We love it.

I had an aluminun and steel gazebo for 15 years. The roof leaked, the poles were splitting and it needed to be replaced. I purchased this with assembly and am very pleased. The unit is super sturdy, does not leak. It has withstood several windstorms with 40 to 70 MPH wind gusts. We had a heavy snowfall over the winter and it did not bend the roof panels and it still does not leak. The assembly was worth it and well built

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the BIG 10X14 Backyard Discovery Cordova Gazebo and it’s absolutely stunning! Holds our ceiling fan underneath as well and the party lights rock too! Thank you guys for everything even the extra planks for better drilling support and for such fast delivery! We had it professionally installed and it’s like having a room outdoors!

The gazebo is beautiful. I have received a lot of compliments on it. The built in power strip is a great feature. It has held up through some pretty intense storms so far. The dimensions do make it difficult to find netting to go around it. I was trying to find something to keep mosquitos out but no luck. I did purchase set up with the gazebo and that was a real pain. It took quite a long time to get someone out and I had to call back and forth several times with the company they use. If you can put it up yourself or know of a company who can I would use them instead. I was pretty frustrated with that situation. My gazebo sat in boxes for at least a month after having it delivered because they couldn’t get anyone out to set it up.
