Love how this turned out! Built very well. Only difficult part putting it together was the roof which was expected. We have loved sitting underneath it in our backyard! My only complaint(suggestions?) would be to look into the design of the add-on mounted plug-in. Our first thing to plug in were programmable string lights and the plug doesn’t allow the cover to shut over the plug. We are now looking at alternative options to plug things in.

Love it!

I was attracted to this 14x12 Barrington gazebo because of its wind rating, as I live close to the water in FL and tropical storms are always a risk. The structure is very robust. Had some concerns about potential for leakage from the ridge cap but after two heavy rains, there were no leaks. Very happy with physical appearance, would purchase it again over 3 other brands considered. .

This is a great purchase

I'm very pleased with the purchase of this gazebo. It looks great and is high quality. I'm amazed at how well all the pieces lined up. The directions were easy to follow, both the printed instructions and the Bilt app. It took two very full days to build. Now it's done, and I couldn't be happier with it.

We just finished with the Barrington kit. It took 3 of us to complete the project but it was well worth it. The structure is solid and looks great. Several neighbors have seen it now and they all rave about our new Cabana. Thank you for making such a great product. Dave O. Bradenton Florida

If you go slow and take your time it’s not that bad to put together, even for your average homeowner. It took me and a friend 1 full day and 3 half days (after work). That doesn’t include sorting the wood and removing plastic. That took a couple hours as well with 2 people. It also comes with a lot of the bits you will need. We got away with a small ladder until it came time for the 16’ panels. Then we needed a 6’ in the middle and we used a bench to step up on for the people holding the base. It took 2 husbands and 2 wives to get the roof up! It’s really heavy and you will definitely need at least 3 It really wasn’t that bad, and it felt good to be able to say I put that together for guests that come by. The only issue I have is even though we were able to get all the pilot holes to line up, we still had to make cuts for the metal roof to cover the entire frame. It actually states this in the directions multiple times. (If the wood is too long, cut it!) Not really what I like to see as the homeowner that took his time to make sure everything was lined up because I didn’t want to cut it. There’s also another part where it states is crucial to being able to get the roof on the frame. However, the area they give you to measure is in the air next to the frame over the shoulder area, so you are left kind of guessing if you’re in the right spot. Besides those , pretty straightforward install. Things sweet.

Love these CAD based tutorials. Only critique - none of the part numbers on roof sheet metal pieces matched those listed in these directions. I was able to use judgement and process of elimination to figure it out however this did cause a bit of stress and confusion which translated to additional unnecessary build time.

Love, love, love
