This gazebo (I call it a pavilion) was a fantastic purchase. Heavy duty structure & outstanding quality. Highly recommend to consider staining it before the build, it turned out beautiful! I used Cabot Australian Timber Oil Jarrah Brown and stained each individual piece, 143 pieces total. Cabot confirmed no need for a separate coat of water sealant as it's built into their stain formula. Just use staining pads (not brushes) to apply & it goes quickly. Each piece is numbered for orderly assembly. I paid the extra money for assembly and the company they contract with sent 2 hard working guys who had it built in 10 hours. We chose wisely...very happy!

I bought this 14X10 Barrington gazebo about 1 month ago. It was delivered in excellent condition. I had 1 roof corner ridge cap that was bent and did not realize it until I came to that instruction since it was wrapped in plastic and stacked. However, I put that ridge cap in the back of the gazebo so it can't be seen. The gazebo went together very well. The cedar was all in very good condition and all the holes were in the right places. The roof was the biggest challenge. I put the roof sections up with the help of my wife and daughter. My biggest challenge was the ridge cap channel. The roof sections did not come together like it should have for smooth insertion of the ridge cap channel. One roof section is higher than the other and the channel could not be properly installed - it comes out on one side about half way up the roof so, I added some extra screws to make it hopefully stay. I would have given it a 5 star if the roof ridge channel went smoother. I placed this gazebo on 4 cement pads that all went 45 inches deep beyond frost line. I sealed the gazebo with oil based sealer which went on very nicely.

Follow the instructions very carefully. Have all required tools and an organized assembly area. Have at least 3 adults for placing roofing sections in place. The gazebo is awesome. We have had it up for a week and spend every night enjoying our new peaceful place in our backyard. I highly recommend this product.

I'm really happy with the gazebo. I hired a friend to put it together. Kudos to any homeowners who can do the installation themselves for the gazebo. Probably pergolas are easier. It looks so nice. I look forward to going outside each day to spend time sitting in it.

We purchased the 12x14 gazebo as well as the XL BBQ Gazebo. Both are made of same materials. They looks modern with the black hardware and the wood is a very nice stain. The wood is a little soft so it does show some scuffs and sings from the packaging and shipping, but it is not too bad. Love the power bars that come with both of these. We installed heaters and a fan on the larger gazebo.

I bought this 16x12 gazebo about a month ago. Did take a few weeks to get together due to traveling for work but with 3 handy people can be done in a day or 2. Quality materials and instructions are well done if you don’t use the app. Definitely recommend there products!

Beautiful gazebo, sturdy, and will last forever! I love sitting under it in the rain with our gas firepit. My husband, son and I assembled it in 2 days. We are pros now and could assemble them much faster now that we know what we are doing. LOL Follow the directions to the tee as far as measurements when assembling the roof to make sure it is square. All the holes lined up, the pieces were marked. The one thing I would have liked is a touch up pen. Some of the wood was scratched and the really light color shows through under the roof- would be nice to cover those up. You need an impact drill for concrete slab and a tall ladder at minimum. We used a scaffold which was amazingly helpful for all aspects of assembly- instead of moving a ladder around all the time. The metal roof drains under the trim, though, which I thought was weird- to have it all go down metal, then under a metal piece that is placed over the wood edges. It seems like that might wear own the wood all around the roof.

Just got my Barrington 14x12 assembled today. Looks great! It’s a lot of work but instructions were pretty good. Some pieces weren’t and/or drilled correctly but we were able to work around this and figure it out. I would highly recommend this gazebo.

We are super pleased with the quality and appearance of this gazebo. Assembly was easy thanks to the excellent and clear instructions, and all the parts fit together perfectly. The gazebo is attractive and enjoyable, and we get frequent compliments on it from visitors.

This gazebo is designed very well. There are many pieces and steps, but the instructions are easy to follow and I didn’t run into any issues. I hope to enjoy this new addition to my backyard for many years to come!
