[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was/is the largest gazebo I could find without going with a "custom" size. So thrilled with it! Looks amazing and have received many compliments on it. Very pleased with the quality and appearance. Has upgraded our outdoor space!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a 14 x 10 gazebo to put on my deck because I have no trees in my backyard. We could not sit out on the deck in the summertime when the sun was hitting the deck because it was too hot. Now we can enjoy our deck all summer long, anytime of the day!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've wanted this gazebo for a very long time and finally made the purchase this summer. It fits perfectly on my deck. And it is a wonderful outdoor Oasis basically extending my entertainment space. This will be the first winter where I do not have to move my deck furniture into storage since the gazebo is constructed so well with such great coverage. I highly recommend!

We love our gazebo. We added lights and a fan. My husband and I come out in the evenings just to sit and relax. It's like a staycation. We had a graduation party yesterday and got so many compliments on it. We plan to add a shade on one side for the sun for longer hours of enjoyment!

Overall very good kit. I’m an above-average handyman w construction experience. Having the right tools such as good drill, impact drill, extra construction clamps and hammer drill for concrete is important. Three strong people for roof install is a must. Not just for lifting but also moving the roof around to get it all square and booting together. We had some big gaps between roof panels that required moving panels and clamping hard. BILT app and paper instructions are very good. Blue plastic covering on sheet metal is a bear. That took an hour or more all-in peeling off the plastic as it tore in small pieces. There must be a better way to protect the metal. I’m a little concerned about the “corrosion resistant” metal. Saw some evidence of rust already and the panels get scratched a little during assembly. Plan to get brown touch up paint to cover scratches but hope the roof holds up for more than year or two! The pavilion looks great and seems sturdy. Overall I’m very pleased.

Just purchased a 12' x 14' Barrington gazebo and used two friends to help me assemble it. The job only took 1 1/2 days. All components were per the item list. The assembly went extremely as all holes lined up perfectly. The only thing is that I would have preferred a darker cedar color. I will attempt to stain it next week.

We finally completed our summer project and this 14x12 Barrington Gazebo was the perfect addition to our new patio. The instructions along with the Built App provided all the direction needed to complete the project. You can do this with two people, would recommend a 3rd for frame and roof install day. Kit comes with all the hardware and bits you need to build this out. We love the finished product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A couple of neighbors and I put it together and really pleased with the way it went together and more importantly the way it looked after it was up. It looks great and I would absolutely recommend to my friends.

I purchased and built a 16x12 Barrington Gazebo this past summer and we have absolutely loved it! I would say that everyday that we had good weather, we were under it. We thought that even in a light rain with no wind, we could hang out, but unfortunately, without anything catching the rain dripping off the roof, it would hit the concrete and splatter back under the gazebo, making the practical usable area very small under the gazebo. Backyard Discovery does not offer a gutter system for their gazebos, and I really didn't like the look of the offerings from some of the other gazebo manufacturers out there. So, I designed my own. It was relatively simple, but would have been easier had I done it when first building the unit. First, I removed the trim pieces around the outside of the roof. Then I added 4" flashing under the roof panels, hanging down the facial board about 3". I had purchased steel J channel (brown, nearly the same color as the supplied trim), which I attached under the flashing with a stainless steel screw through the flashing and J channel into the facial board. I had to cut, bend, rivet, and caulk the corners of the J channel. I also had to make sure there was a slight slope from corner to corner so the water would flow correctly. On the lowest corner (opposite corner being the highest), I simply channeled the water out into the yard, instead of a downspout. Although a downspout would work also. Then I reinstalled the original trim with it also handing into the J channel. It really turned out great, looks great, and works perfectly. It handles light to medium rains easily, and allow us to hang out under the gazebo and stay dry. I think it would be great if Backyard Discovery would include this with the gazebo originally, or as an option. But until then, this is a great DIY for it.

I spent countless hours researching gazebos. I searched all over for a very high quality gazebo that would last a long time and that looked great on the new patio I just installed. I stumbled on this gazebo on display at a store by me and I was really impressed with how well the structure was made. Even though it is a dark walnut stain, it had an ever-so-slight hue of red color on a couple of the posts while my wife and I were looking at it in the store. Also, we were looking for something that had a black roof as opposed to a dark brown. So my wife and I decided to keep looking for another option. We looked at other brands which was aesthetically exactly what we were looking for (natural light wood tone with black roof). However, the quality was no where near this. From the max snow load to the wind certification of 100mph, and the impressive quality of the steel roof and cedar, there really was no competition. As you can see from the pictures, there is no red hue at all and it really looks awesome against the gray paving stones I have. CONS: There was a couple nicks and scratches, as well as some waviness in the roof. Also, it comes with screws to bolt into the ground, which is an optional step. The screws to anchor it to the ground were not as high quality as the rest of the structure, so I bought concrete screw anchors (1/4” DIA. x1-3/4” L). They worked out great. Lastly, I love the electric hookup, but the cord was a little short for where we needed it to go by a foot or two. It would be great if the cord length could be adjusted. There are workarounds for this like placing the electric panel lower, so it’s not the end of the world. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase!
