We bought this 12x12 back in August of 2025. It was a bit of a challenge for my wife and I to put together but we did it the right way. We stained every piece and took the time making sure it was correct. Everything was labeled correctly and every piece went together as noted. Plenty or hardware and Zero surprises. Be patient and you will have no problems. Now we are just enjoying the finished product. Highly recommend.

My 20x12 Barrington has just been installed by Backyard Discovery. It is gorgeous and heavy duty. I was concerned about hurricanes as I live in Florida, but it seems very sturdy. There were 3 extra costs I didn't expect. It really should be stained before it is installed and is not included, anchoring it is an extra charge, and installation of the screen kit is extra. So be aware of all costs before you start. It is a huge job to install it so I am glad we didn't do it ourselves.

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. .

Excellent instruction. Only installing the trim, the video shows the wrong pieces for the 14 foot side. The 14 pieces should be on the 12 foot and the 12 should be on the 14. The right pieces are showned in the manual. This is something that should be addressed. Other than that,great instructions.

I love my gazebo! Took some time to sort and organize the pieces. Did some preliminary putting together of smaller parts in the garage. Then it took about 1 1/2 days with 3-4 adults to assemble it. The corner roof pieces were tricky but prying open a side to slide them up helped. It keeps my furniture dry underneath for the most part (unless it’s pouring and windy, then a few cushions may get wet,)

We love this gazebo! The construction is beautiful and provides a great little space for family conversations and relaxation. We have spent every spare moment under in our new patio area. No regrets here! I keep joking with my husband that we don’t need vacations anymore because the most relaxing vacation is in our own backyard!

The gazebo arrived in 6 large boxes. I put it togther with my two boys; 8 and 10. I would recommend having a couple adults to assist. You'll definitely need 3 adults to install the roof panels. Now that it's installed, we are hoping for years of enjoyment. So far, so good!

It's absolutely beautiful and incredibly sturdy. We decided to build it ourselves, it was tedious but the instructions were clear and easy to follow. The holes lined up easily, just don't tighten the hardware until they are all lined up. IT IS HEAVY! We had to have 4 people just to lift the 5 boxes off the truck. This is not a 1 man job, you'll need at least 3 people to install the roof. There are videos on YouTube showing people building these that include alot of hints and tips.

Really enjoyed putting this together. Instructions and Bilt app. were spot on. Just take your time and it will be a breeze. Tip would be to get the main structure up and the roof supports built then stain/seal entire all the wood. Then install metal to roof and install the roof.

I just completed the staining and assembly of the Barrington 14x12 gazebo. You won’t find a better company than Backyard Discovery for pre-sales & installation support, quality materials, 5 yr. warranty, and beautiful design. We are extremely pleased!!!
