We invested in the 14x12 Barrington Gazebo to replace our lightweight metal and fabric gazebo. The kit came in good shape and all parts and pieces were accounted for. Amazingly, they actually give you a few spare parts in all the hardware bags, just in case!! All hardware is powder coated black and fits well together. The first problem I had was realizing that there were wooden parts INSIDE the 4 large legs. 2 of these pieces of wood were jammed in there pretty good so it took some ingenuity to pull them out. I didn't want to smash the poles down and damage them, so a ratchet strap hook was dropped down to try and pull them out. Don't start assembly unless ALL parts are accounted for!! Assembly of the rafters seemed to be the most time consuming and tricky part of this project. Some boards were twisted, and the holes didn't always line up as expected, which required some force to get it all square. 3 people are highly recommended to lift the rafters and roof frame up easily. Inserting the bolts for the rafters (steps 35 & 36) proved to be the most challenging as the holes didn't always line up. It took some persuasion, and even removing screws from steps 22B & 30B were needed to allow the rafters to flex in order to line these holes up correctly enough. Once tightened, I reinstalled these screws. The plastic coating on all the metal parts took forever to get off, often ripping off in small pieces, extremely annoying. Overall, this whole kit did come together nicely in the end. It looks great, and I have no doubt it will hold up well in our Northeast winters. I am happy with my purchase and building experience.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This gazebo is beautiful and functional. It adds a lovely covered space to my backyard and allows us to be outside more. It is a great place to sit under in a rainstorm or when the sun is beating down. We love it.

My husband and I have been wanting a gazebo for so long. We finally purchased one and it has been the BEST addition to our home. We host a lot of parties and family get-togethers, the gazebo brings everyone excitment when they see how well built and beautiful this structure is in our backyard. My husband and I eat dinner almost every night under our gazebo while watching the sunset. This gazebo has brought nothing but happiness into our lives. Also, this gazebo protects my two Frenchies from the sun. I LOVE THIS GAZEBO! I definitely would love having another gazebo over our hottub one day!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Takes definitely more than one day to put together. Loved the pre-drilled holes. Remodified the roof trim to underneath the tin roofing instead of over the top. Pieces of lumber need to be marked a little better. Though now that it is complete it adds more appeal to our yard.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is our second gazebo purchase because we bought one for our previous home and it was so perfect that we added one to our new home. The kits are easy to assemble and are very durable which makes them an affordable option for backyard shade and protection for patio furniture. With the gazebo, we are able to spend so much more time outside!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I really like the gazebo and looking forward sitting outside when it's raining or sunny. My son, nephew, cousin and I had fun spending time together while building the gazebo. I had a few questions and your customer service was extremely helpful and kind.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had previously bought our playgound equipment from Backyard Discovery and purchased our gazebo in May 2023. Great product. Installation guys were perfect and highly professional. Since we live next door to our three grandchildren (and their parents), our backyards are connected and we spend a huge amount of time playing and eating and talking under our classy, beautiful gazebo. Thanks, BD.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought the gazebo at the beginning of summer and have enjoyed it everyday. Great place to sit and spend time with family even when it rains without getting wet! Very detailed assembly instructions that anyone can follow.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got my gazebo installed last summer and I am in love with it. It is my favorite spot to sit and relax with my girlfriend and my dog and it compliments the patio furniture well. I may get the covered grill portion next!

This is our second gazebo to build at two different locations and it was a great experience. My wife and I (61 and 58 years old) assembled the gazebo by ourselves. We had our neighbor help with the 14foot roof panels, but we did everything else by ourselves. It was straightforward with the instructions. Just take your time. It helps to have the right tools, drills, etc. to assemble. The quality of the wood is great. And there are plenty of extra bolts and screws for future repairs or needs. If you enjoy DIY projects, this is a fun one to build.
