[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this last spring and were very surprised at how it's built for a kit. Took about 8 hours for three of us to assemble. Would say it was easy, but I've had a lot of experience with building and remodeling. Is a very sturdy building. Stands up to thunderstorms and has a a foot of snow on it in the last month.

We purchased this in 2022 and I assembled it in the late summer. It has proven to be a focal point for the family as we can still sit outside in all conditions rain or shine. It would be a lot easier to put together with more than one person but it can be done. The Gazebo was well made just follow the instructions and use the bilt app for added clarity.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bough the gazebo one month ago and is happy about it. The wood smells so good and it is light, but sturdy! easy for us to assemble all by ourselves. The size is great to connect with our pool, provides good seating spaces. The customer service is also excellent, we missing one type of screws, they shipped out to us within 2 days which is great. Overall, happy with the purchase and highly recommend!

The structure seems very strong and was straight forward to assemble. The roof panels were the most challenging to lift into position. This required enough people and planning to do safely. One design change is needed. The metal band that goes around at the bottom of the roof should go UNDER the roof pieces instead of over them as instructed, because it catches leaves and debris. My leaves caused visible stains on the wood. After it was too late I saw blogs mention how the instructions should be revised.

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 got this gazebo to replace one that I had which had been damaged by a storm. The previous one was 14x10 but I decided I wanted a little bit bigger this time. I love the size it’s great. Love the light color of the wood. Was very easy to build. Would highly recommend this to anyone.

Gazebo is very Saturday and looks great. The only downside is the assembly. The roof is a pain, you need at least two people preferably 3. The panels that go through the seams and the trump around the top is painstaking. The screws are self tapping and you have to penetrate the steel roof to attach. The roof is a collection of 6 panels each probably weighing close to 125 lbs each. It would be much easier if the company split the roof into smaller sections that would allow one person to install. Also, as a tip, when putting the roof on use the two clamps provided to clamp in place to hold panels prior to connecting with bolts. Finally, the instructions were a bit unclear regarding the t nuts and the top frame.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought it and had it installed. After watching the guys put it up, that was money well spent. We love the extra room it provides with cover, and the dogs and our cat who believes he is a dog spends many hours there.

We needed shade on our patio and had a hard time finding something because our space was so large. So we decided to purchase (2) of the Cordova 14 X 10 Gazebos which fit perfect on one side of our space. Now we have a perfect shaded space and a sun space to enjoy the summer months.

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.
