This gazebo is well engineered and awesome for our patio in Florida. There are a lot of parts and can be a bit overwhelming at the beginning but follow the instructions to the tee and it all comes together nicely. Allow plenty of room to work and put all your hardware on a big table. Being in Florida I did add additional support by installing 4x4x8 post with 30" in concrete and used 5" lag bolts at the bottom and at 5' high.

I not only gave it 5 stars for quality but also for customer service. We had to columns that had split at the bottom. My husband was concerned as they were the wait bearing columns. He called on a Saturday late afternoon expecting to get a recording. They answered and said they would send both columns right out. On Monday we received the notification that they had sent them FedEx 2 day. This was not expected. We had to get in touch with them with 2 more questions… my husband emailed at 11pm and had a response by 9:30 the next morning. We will be buying another gazebo to cover our deck. The quality is excellent and the instructions are thorough. My husband would rather read the instructions but when he didn’t understand something the app walked him through it. My husband takes his time but the picture shows the progress right now. We highly recommend this company and their products. Just save us a 20x12 for our deck when we need it lol Thanks VP

We're absolutely thrilled with our new backyard oasis addition! The roof is perfectly designed for stringing up twinkling lights and hanging a refreshing fan. We've been impressed with its sturdiness so far, and we can't wait to make unforgettable summer memories beneath its shade.

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!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this on Sams club website took a few weeks to get delivered. Took us a week to put together working on it in the evenings after work. It takes at least 3 adults to put on the roof. Very happy with the end product.

I bought this kit about a month ago. 5 boxes with the heaviest around 200lbs. No parts were missing after unpacking. Everything was labeled well. Pretty straightforward and detailed instructions. Takes 2 people about 2 days install. Tips: sort and put in order all of the wood and same with the hardware by number. I placed my gazebo on a paver patio so I had to remove a few pavers to place 4 footers 12" round and 32" deep then reinstalled pavers. Also when you installed the footers, use the Sampson post plates instead of what they give you. This will give you a little leeway or ability to adjust. Don't even go to forward until your post are absolutely square and level. Hardest part of the job is peeling the shri k wrap off the metal panels, miserable tedious job. Looks beautiful next to the pool area and I bought a 1 x 6x8 cedar board and cut pieces to accent the pole bottoms.to.not see post brackets. SUPER well made product but takes some time to do it right. Also don't right and get a gallon of seal once and coat each cedar board. Also it doesnt say it anywhere but this gazebo is ve ted at the top too. Good luck and worth it when done!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this kit and love it. Excellent instructions and online video support. Each piece of the construction materials was clearly marked and easily identified. One small bent item was replaced by the manufacturer within two day. So no delay in construction. Can easily be constructed by the do it yourselfer.

We bought this a month ago and assembled it ourselves. It was a large job but the instructions were very clear. If you are not familiar with tools and larger projects I would recommend paying to have it assembled. The finished product is beautiful and we love it. It is very sturdy and is perfect for our pool side area. We look forward to using it for years to come. I could not be more pleased with this product.

I purchased this gazebo this summer and hired someone to assemble it for me. They never found time so I did it myself. I must say there are so many good things about this set. Very good quality materials that for the most part fit together like a glove. They even give you extra screws/bolts/washers which I needed because I dropped a few in the grass and could not find them and I stripped a couple screws (my fault). I did have a few problems but since I am not a professional handy man, it could of been my fault. You must get the roof framing within the correct dimensions as stated in the instructions. The 10' sides were off a slight bit and I could not get it fixed. This caused a little problem later. The roof pieces are heavy so it will take 3 strong people to set them up and secure them. The paper instructions were OK but I had to use Youtube to verify some things...and there's an app you can download too that helps allot. If you are considering it, do it.

This gazebo is very nice when complete. We were concerned with space and the level of our concrete patio since we have a pool and the concrete slopes so we opted to put it together ourselves. Oh my.... that was a project and there was much cussing. But the finished product is absolutely worth it. We've installed a ceiling fan and string lights. We will be installing one of backyard disvovery's grill gazebos that matches the Cordova as soon as the slab is ready!
