We love this gazebo - it is very sturdy/solid and provides great shade from the heat of New Orleans. The customer service and installation were very professional and exceeded our expectations. The built in electric panel lets you charge phones or power a radio or TV - I ran outdoor lights under the roof along with a small outdoor fan. I highly recommend - nice addition to our patio!

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.] I bought the cordova 14x10 a couple of months ago for our patio area. Love the space and the quality of the product. I would recommend to anyone looking to add a sitting area or as we use it, to cover our hot tub.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this to go above our hot tub in our back yard. It has done it's job providing necessary shade and weather protection. We are very pleased with the quality of the materials. They were shipped in multiple boxes, which were not organized based off of procedure steps. This would have been more helpful in easily locating the correct hardware for the correct steps. However, the instructions were very straightforward, and all components arrived undamaged and in excellent condition.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have a space that we never use but now with the added shade and outdoor seating we are using year round any time of day! The instruction app came in clutch! I don’t consider myself a handy person but I did most of it myself. Very happy with our purchase

So I will start with this review in regards to our first gazebo. The first one we put it together, it took about a day or so, definitely is do able with 2 people that have very little experience. I absolutely loved it we had the lights around the inside carpet down it definitely set the tone for a relaxing backyard. But, I skipped a step and own 100 percent of this. I failed to secure this monster gazebo into my stamped concrete patio and it was a costly mistake. With that being said, we loved it so much that I of course had to purchase another one. Same size, same location. The second one we put up I had paid for the company to install it. This was money WELL spent. This team of guys came in and blasted this thing up in about 5 hours. The one thing the installation company doesn’t do is secure it to the patio. (WHICH IMMEDIATELY DID). So this summer we look forward to enjoying this. I can’t stress it enough since I have purchased 2, well worth it!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this gazebo about 5-6 months ago. I put it together myself with help from family. Be patient with the installation. Take your time and follow the directions exactly and things will work out well. The gazebo looks great and is sturdy. I've had it up now several months and it is hasn't moved at all and I live in a very windy area. This gazebo really solved a problem for us - we couldn't use our back patio in the summer because of the direct sunshine. Now we can use the patio year round.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this gazebo in memory of my sister. She always sat in the shade, while I always seek the sun. This gazebo will give my family and friends a place to choose where they want to be, sun or shade, close to the lake.

After a lot of research, reading thru reviews, watching videos, decided to buy the Barrington 12x12 gazebo. Best decision ever! It’s a beautiful addition to my backyard. Here in the Arizona heat needed more shade. Took two half days and 5 people (family, friends, and neighbors. Highly recommend you set up day before the build. I set up the parts according to numerical part number, stacked and taped part number to identify each stack. This helped keep things in order, no bending over to look for number on wood. I put hardware and small metal pieces and wood on the tables, also in numerical part number order. No looking for parts and also helped make sure we used all the parts and weren’t missing anything. It went super smooth, caught a couple mistakes quickly so easy to get it right. Directions and the Bilt app helped with the diagrams of how parts were supposed to fit. Extremely happy with the build and the finished gazebo. Looks great, excellent quality. Highly recommend!

I bought the Cordova 14x10 about a month back. My skills are electronic...I'm a handyman, but not a skilled carpenter. What was really apparent was this is a USA MADE product and the documentation was, too. It was hands down the best assembly document I've ever seen for any product. Bought it direct from Backyard Discovery...price better than other kits out there and it was perfect for my 14x12 patio (with 2' roof overhang). Some things that stood in my way of completion...1 - a lot of rainy days before I could start...2 - given the time lapse, discovered just a few slightly warped rafter boards along the way...totally useable...missing one upper post bolt and one pair of roof panel brackets for the 14' sections. Now, here's where I'll give HUGE kudos to their support. The first call was for the upper bolt missing. Not a deal breaker for time. I called and I got it two days later. However, closing in on roof panel completion...I needed the missing roof brackets and there was a threat of heavy rain in two days. The standard response would get it to me in 2-3 days. I replied that it would set me back a week due to rain...even willing to pay extra for overnight. Well...the person emailed the warehouse/manufacturing location...I had one in my hands the next day...no extra charge! THAT was service! The impressive part? Everything lined up well (I did need to drill a few offset pilot holes ion the perluns due to a few warped rafter boards...but all is just fine!). Now, at 63, I assembled all of it myself and some help with my sister-in-law (grabbing parts, holding a tape measure and moving roof panels). It took me longer than most due to high humidity an upper 80's to upper 90's heat & heavy humidity. (Not to mention rain delays.) I had a good friend and my son to help hoist the roof panels. You can raise panels with two, but I highly recommend three for the 14' sections. Here's a couple hints: Placing close to your home...keep in mind that you may not be able to push the metal roof lock-in trim from the bottom on the house-side. So...I did the two small 10' panel raises first...then, the 14' section closest to the house. Couple that with the fact that I did not install the roof hip until just before installing the last panel so it wouldn't chance getting battered moving panels into place -and- I installed the house-side metal roof panel joiner from the top-side down because the 'house got in the way being so close to it. After that, we installed the last panel...loosely bolted...then tightened in the order dictated by the manual. One more issue...tightening the roof panels. Well, this brought in the metal roof channels really close where the roof panels meet on the diagonals. So close that the metal joining strips would tend to pop out sliding them up. What to do? Well, they're already bent at an angle along the ridge going up...all I had to do was squeeze them tighter working my way up. It held really well. After completing it...we love it! (Just finished today.) Only question in my mind is the flashing at the bottom of the panels. Instructions say to install the metal panels flush to the bottom. Then, the flashing trim over the top and down. But, won't that be conducive to water rolling along the side of the roof panel lower frame? I'll be installing gutters on this, but that fact has me perplexed a bit. I'll figure it out...or, if someone has their own solution, please respond. Overall, I'll still give this a 5 based on how impressive the instructions were, accuracy of of hole & pilot locations and the beauty of it installed. Installing in the heat was taxing, but well worth the savings...even at my age! ;)
