We bought this gazebo to provide some much-needed shade for poolside seating. Our patio is in full sun all day and we decided on the 16x12 Barrington to give us the largest seating area that fit the space. We have a huge patio set underneath it where it feels 10 degrees cooler on the hottest days. I built this myself, and only required help at 2 points in the build. I needed help at the beginning to get the posts stood up and then again at the end to get the roof structure hoisted and installed. Setting up the post sections were pretty simple and 2 helpers made that an easy task. Setting up the roof panels was definitely more complicated, the smaller 12' sections weren't too bad with 2 helpers and a few clamps. The 16' roof sections were a bear, 3 helpers (4 ladders) were needed - one at each post, one in the center of the posts and me up at the peak. Also needed 4 clamps once in position and then having the right hardware and tools ready was necessary. I personally wouldn't try it with less than 4 people due to the safety risk. Everything else about the installation went exactly according to the manual. Everything was cut, pre-drilled and lined up without any issues. Everything squared up pretty easily and the hardware was pretty high quality, and you get extra of everything because inevitably you will lose or strip some of the hardware. Installing the posts anchor bolts into my patio were probably the hardest part. I used a hammer drill with a carbide bit and still some of the anchor bolts snapped. I went out and bought some blue tapcons and painted them black after installing. All in all, for the price this is probably the nicest Gazebo on the market. The snow and wind ratings are what sold me and I'm happy in the decision. I would have liked the choice of a darker stain on the wood, but when it comes to re-stain I will go darker. Otherwise we love it. I had to contact customer support for a question on a Sunday, and they were available on chat and quickly helped me resolve it. Someone even ran out to check one they had pre-built on site to confirm a measurement question. Really appreciate that!!

I was very impressed with the quality and craftsmanship. YOU NEED TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY, and if you do you will be very happy with how it goes together very well. I did have a few questions along the way and I called the 800 number any got someone right away and they were very helpful. Very happy with the Gazebo!

We purchased the product in March, however it took forever for the professional assembly team to get us on their schedule. The wood seemed to be a little worn in some areas. Not sure of the build quality 100% The product itself looks great. I’m looking forward to many evenings under it.

I purchased this gazebo, then realized we needed something bigger. So,instead of sending it back, we order a 2nd one. We placed them side by side. They look great! We’re very pleased and receive lots of compliments on them. Wish we had done this years ago! I do recommend hiring someone to assemble it.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love our new gazebo. It is well built and roomy. We use it during summer for family get togethers or just sit and relax in. It is spacious and comfortable and with the breeze coming in it is just wonderful.

We bought this a month ago and my husband put it together and kept on commenting that this a great assembly and the wood and pieces are top quality. I helped with putting on the roof until we got to the 14 ft panels and enlisted help from our 21 year old dog sitter, who is tall and strong. I shopped for gazebos for 6 months before deciding on this. We received prompt and quality service. Never been happier with our decision! Thank you! It will last out lifetimes...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this unit just before July 4th and was able to put the unit up almost by myself. The instructions were easy to follow, all parts were properly labeled and pre drilled. If I had room I'd buy a second one

Once we finally got through the rough patch of getting my service rescheduled after a rainy day. Purchased Feb 2023, assembled April 2023. The technician was very detailed and professional. The dynamic dual (2) technicians finished my gazebo assembly in rapid time. I am very pleased with the outcome. This was a tedious job that I could not have done myself. Please be patient and trust the process. I love the look of my backyard with our new Gazebo.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've wanted this gazebo for a very long time and finally made the purchase this summer. It fits perfectly on my deck. And it is a wonderful outdoor Oasis basically extending my entertainment space. This will be the first winter where I do not have to move my deck furniture into storage since the gazebo is constructed so well with such great coverage. I highly recommend!
