I bought this to add to my deck expansion. With the help of my sons. We got it assembled. Took longer than expected, but had limited time where my sons could come over & help. Instructions were very detailed. Only issue was a couple of the posts had holes drilled in wrong place for the corner brackets & had to drill new holes and it wasn't easy taking the plastic wrap off the metal parts. That's the reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. We are loving the new gazebo.

Putting together this gazebo is a large project, it took several weekends to put it all together. 95% of the work can be done by two people, but getting the 14' roof panels up and secured needs 3-4 people. You need patience to put together all the pieces accurately. You will need a hammer drill to secure it to your concrete. At the very end putting the roof trim on using the self tapping screws do not work by themselves, you need to pre-drill holes in order for it to secure. Overall it turned out very nice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this in March to satisfy my desire for a covered deck. I wanted to hire a contractor to build a covered add on but it was way to expensive. I'm so glad I found this gazebo. I have not one thing to say bad about this product. It came in 4 or 5 boxes- earlier than expected which was a plus. The first thing I recommend is to find the box with the instructions and follow them from start to finish and you will not have any issues. It will start with telling how to unpack the boxes and lay everything out... yes guys, this is important. This product came with 4 clamps, drill bits, just about all you need to get the job done. You will be amazed how quality this product is. All the boards were pre-cut, pre- notched, pre- drilled, everything fit just as it was supposed to. We did have to change the order up a tad bit since we were building it on our deck up against the roof on the house, but it still worked great. It was designed to be built in the open. We also added guttering to ours to help keep the splatters down. (something to be considered as an add on maybe- it looks great) We have gotten so many compliments on it and everyone in agreement with how solid it is and well built. I hope this review lets you know just how much you need one of these. I don't think we've ever made a better purchase or have been happier than we are with this one. Don't think twice - just buy it. You won't be sorry. It''s now November and we still love it. I tell myself every day what a great investment this was

[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!

After researching gazebo options for about a year, our entire family voted to purchase this one. I’m so glad we did. It immediately became everyone’s favorite place on our property. The pieces are sturdy and well constructed. There were no issues with quality, like I have read in reviews of gazebos from other companies. We love the look! The price is very reasonable compared to the competition. I definitely recommend this gazebo. Absolutely no regrets!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had spent years running out during high winds or thunder storms, climbing on a ladder to pull the cover off my old lightweight patio gazebo. I desperately wanted to upgrade but the cost of building my own was crazy expensive. Then comes the Cordova! What a huge upgrade! Unit looks great even like I built it myself (well I did!). It was a lot of work to build but I’m very happy with the outcome. Be sure to give yourself time to build it. It does take time and extra help. Don’t rush and layout all of the parts. You’ll need extra help lifting the roof panels into place. They are not light. Plan ahead, take your time and it will be well worth the effort. They also gave one or two extra of every fastener. No missing parts! That all said, I did have a number of chipped or warped boards. Careful planning allowed me to cover or straighten most of them. Backyard Discovery did offer to send me extra stain (which was nice!) but haven’t seen it yet. Will be adding my own electrical and ceiling fan in the next week. Just in time to enjoy the summer!

After researching every available gazebo model on the market, we chose this one and couldn’t be happier with our decision. We live in the CA desert where wind gusts in our area can regularly reach up to 75 mph. This model said it could withstand 125 mph winds, which no other product claimed, so I selected this one for that very purpose. Prior to the gazebo’s arrival, we had a contractor pour cement and add steel brackets to the post locations. We opted to pay the additional money to have the gazebo built by the company and we’re so glad we did as it took three men, several hours to do it. They did a wonderful job and were very friendly. Once they finished, our contractor added steel bolts to the posts, securely attaching them to the brackets, thus ensuring they would withstand our crazy, erratic conditions. Our contractor also added string light bulbs and a ceiling fan/light. He then hooked up a waterline to the gazebo and installed a misting system. Finally, he hung interior mosquito netting curtain panels and outer heavy privacy curtains, both of which are tied at the four corners when not in use. We LOVE our new outdoor space! Our friends and family have also marveled at it. We love that the structure is built from beautiful wood beams, rather the aluminum like many of the models we see. We have a day bed couch, two chairs and a coffee table under it, and since it has extra electrical outlets, we regularly bring a lightweight TV outside to watch while snuggled up on the couch. This gazebo has allowed us to enjoy our backyard more fully now. And every time I gaze out to our backyard and see it, it makes me happy. My husband says that makes this the best purchase ever.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I give this Gazebo a five star. I put it together myself. Being 73 years it took me two weeks to do it .I feel if I can do it anyone can do it. Great instructions with great back up by internet or phone it you have any questions.

We bought our 16 x12 gazebo last spring. The installer showed up promptly and had the job done including clean up by 6pm the same day. We have had quite a few gatherings and everyone has been amazed with the look, quality and price of this product. And I love the fact that no Wisconsin weather can ever blow this to the ground like the last two home improvement store gazebos we purchased. We've recommended it to friends and two have purchased them so far! Thank you also for the military discount and all the years of enjoyment we will have. Thanks BD!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For the last 20 years we have bought been buying a new pop-up canopy every other year or so. We are so happy we decided to buy this 14‘ x 12‘ Barrington gazebo. We installed lights and a fan and couldn’t be happier with our gathering space. We highly recommend this product!
