I bought this for afternoon shade on my deck and it’s been perfect. Don’t be intimidated by the unboxing. Take your time and the instructions are very clear and everything is labeled clearly. When you’re frustrated just walk away, I promise it will fit together. It’s solid and looks great.

[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 bought and assembled my gazebo 5 months ago and it was pretty simple to assemble. Everything could be put together by yourself if you want (I'd still recommend 2 folks) except for putting the roof panels up. Your gonna want to get one or two stronger folk to help you with that, but still wasn't to bad. Two members were damaged upon delivery but the company was pretty quick with sending replacements with no questions asked. Overall pleased with the gazebo, looks great, is quite sturdy (I live in a windy area and it doesn't budge), and the electrical power outlet attachment is definitely nice (especially for straining lights up).

We bought it in September to allow us to add shade or protection to extend the usage of our new patio for the fall and the future seasons. We added roll down shades and curtains which allowed our furniture to be protected from an Idaho Winter. It also allowed us to heat with a patio heater which made it easier for us to dry off after getting out of our hot tub without tracking water into the house. I used this gazebo to enjoy the football season on the patio in the comfort of the enclosed gazebo. We are looking forward to barbecue season that is right around the corner.

After seeing what a great addition my sister had added to her home, it was a no brainer. I bought the exact Gazebo to add to my patio which was the 14-10 Cardova. Like my sister I plan to add a Hot Tub to complete this addition. I would highly recommend this or any ther product Backyard Discovery has available. The price, quality and setup are all 5 stars….

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the several months ago and had it installed as well. That was a great decision as there are so many parts to assemble. The crew that came out was friendly and very expeditious in the assembly process.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bough the gazebo one month ago and is happy about it. The wood smells so good and it is light, but sturdy! easy for us to assemble all by ourselves. The size is great to connect with our pool, provides good seating spaces. The customer service is also excellent, we missing one type of screws, they shipped out to us within 2 days which is great. Overall, happy with the purchase and highly recommend!

Our Barrington 16x12 gazebo went up two weeks ago and WOW! We love sitting under our gazebo and chatting with friends and neighbors. It's the natural go to place now and everyone loves it. It looks great and is the best yard addition we've made in years!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very Happy with Gazebo looks sharp and solid, Make sure you have plenty of help and lots of free time as this was difficult to put together with 2 people. In retrospect, I wish I hired someone to assemble. However love my gazebo
