We invested in the 14x12 Barrington Gazebo to replace our lightweight metal and fabric gazebo. The kit came in good shape and all parts and pieces were accounted for. Amazingly, they actually give you a few spare parts in all the hardware bags, just in case!! All hardware is powder coated black and fits well together. The first problem I had was realizing that there were wooden parts INSIDE the 4 large legs. 2 of these pieces of wood were jammed in there pretty good so it took some ingenuity to pull them out. I didn't want to smash the poles down and damage them, so a ratchet strap hook was dropped down to try and pull them out. Don't start assembly unless ALL parts are accounted for!! Assembly of the rafters seemed to be the most time consuming and tricky part of this project. Some boards were twisted, and the holes didn't always line up as expected, which required some force to get it all square. 3 people are highly recommended to lift the rafters and roof frame up easily. Inserting the bolts for the rafters (steps 35 & 36) proved to be the most challenging as the holes didn't always line up. It took some persuasion, and even removing screws from steps 22B & 30B were needed to allow the rafters to flex in order to line these holes up correctly enough. Once tightened, I reinstalled these screws. The plastic coating on all the metal parts took forever to get off, often ripping off in small pieces, extremely annoying. Overall, this whole kit did come together nicely in the end. It looks great, and I have no doubt it will hold up well in our Northeast winters. I am happy with my purchase and building experience.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are so happy with our gazebo for our backyard. It made our backyard look complete! We added lights, a fan & misters to enjoy the beautiful Arizona weather. Perfect for additional shade & coverage. The gazebo is sturdy, beautiful & amazing quality! It’s the first thing people notice when coming into our backyard.

Wanted a sturdy gazebo (after yrs of dealing with the canvas top type & having to worry about the weather demolishing it) This was a great choice-from the excellent delivery service, well packaged cartons (not one piece was damaged, none missing), fairly clear directions, to the finished, assembled structure. Husband (66 yrs old) assembled by himself with 3 'youngins' helping to raise the roof (all exactly as was suggested in company description). Beautiful solid gazebo-met our expectations & hoping it holds up to the weather

We bought our gazebo at the beginning of the summer. From ordering it, to delivery, to assembly, to enjoying it, we have been more than satisfied. The step by step instructions were very well done and the parts were high quality and very accurately labeled and manufactured for easy assembly. We are very impressed with the gazebo and enjoy our time using it now and plan on enjoying it for years to come!

This gazebo is every bit as beautiful as the pictures. We love the charm and warmth of the cedar. The only downside was the company hired to erect the gazebo (recommended by Backyard Discovery) did not secure it to the patio. They cited 'liability' issues. We had to do it ourselves.

Wow. Great Buy. Would rarely go out to our backyard as the Florida weather can be brutal. But now that we have our new Gazebo, it is a pleasure. We enjoy sitting outside while having our morning coffee. My husband assembled it and then his brother and our son-in-law finished the final stage.

We have been very happy with our gazebo. It's already made it through a low grade hurricane too. It is certainly a project to get it built but the instructions are clear. My husband and I did the initial structure ourselves over a couple weekends and then called our high school age nephew over to help us put on the roof. We worked over 3 weekends in May 2023 to get it completed and have enjoyed it daily ever since.

Have had for over two months now, and it survived Hurricane Milton. Very sturdy and well made with high quality cedar wood. The shipment was perfect and no well packed box was too heavy. The Backyard arraigned installer did an excellent job in building it over a two day period.

I've had the kit for a month or so and my wife and I have almost finished it! Weather, work, and vacations have held it up. The kit was well thought-out; all fasteners had extras, so no running out. There were a couple of areas (roof section assembly, for example) where the written instructions were a bit weak; the 3-d "bilt" program accessed through the website or instructions was very helpful in any areas where the printed material lagged behind. A very pretty structure which seems built to last!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I knew I would not have a lot of help putting this thing together. I was pleasantly surprised how easy the instructions were to follow and there is also step-by-step instructions in the Built app to follow along with. The wood is light enough that I was able to easily maneuver the pieces myself. My neighbor is a contractor and he told me that he was surprised how quickly and efficiently I was able to put the thing together by myself. I did need help lifting the constructed room pieces onto the frame, but that only took about 20 minutes with 3 people. It is well crafted and looks great!
