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 has only been up a few days. Product packaging was great, nothing damaged and no missing parts. You definitely need 2-3 people to assemble. Heaviest lift is the roof sections. All of the pre drilled holes lined up very well with only a few exceptions. Quality of wood and assembly brackets are very good. I can see why this has an excellent wind rating.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was a long process to install but all worth it. It looks so beautiful and luxurious. The wood color is stunning. Beauty does not compromise quality, it is very sturdy and well made. Our backyard looks so good with this gorgeous gazebo.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this item about 8 months ago. I was a little hesitant in assembly it, but once I got started, it was fairly easy. The roofing was a little tricky, but overall, it was very user friendly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We did our research for the best patio cover and hands down it was Backyard Discovery! From the professional, knowledgeable phone rep, to the ease of the fast and seamless delivery and finally to the beauty of the wood and details. It is built solid and makes our backyard so much more enjoyable for gatherings with friends and family!

I purchased and built a 16x12 Barrington Gazebo this past summer and we have absolutely loved it! I would say that everyday that we had good weather, we were under it. We thought that even in a light rain with no wind, we could hang out, but unfortunately, without anything catching the rain dripping off the roof, it would hit the concrete and splatter back under the gazebo, making the practical usable area very small under the gazebo. Backyard Discovery does not offer a gutter system for their gazebos, and I really didn't like the look of the offerings from some of the other gazebo manufacturers out there. So, I designed my own. It was relatively simple, but would have been easier had I done it when first building the unit. First, I removed the trim pieces around the outside of the roof. Then I added 4" flashing under the roof panels, hanging down the facial board about 3". I had purchased steel J channel (brown, nearly the same color as the supplied trim), which I attached under the flashing with a stainless steel screw through the flashing and J channel into the facial board. I had to cut, bend, rivet, and caulk the corners of the J channel. I also had to make sure there was a slight slope from corner to corner so the water would flow correctly. On the lowest corner (opposite corner being the highest), I simply channeled the water out into the yard, instead of a downspout. Although a downspout would work also. Then I reinstalled the original trim with it also handing into the J channel. It really turned out great, looks great, and works perfectly. It handles light to medium rains easily, and allow us to hang out under the gazebo and stay dry. I think it would be great if Backyard Discovery would include this with the gazebo originally, or as an option. But until then, this is a great DIY for it.

I bought this last September 2022. All boxes for the gazebo were clearly marked and easy for me to set aside in the order I would need them. With the help of a couple friends we were able to put this together in two days. It was easy to put together, instructions were clear all parts were accounted for. It looks stunning on my deck everyone that see's it loves it. Would highly recommend buying this gazebo for your outdoors.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very pleased with how this looks. we put it over our outdoor kitchen and it is perfect. It covers it well so we can grill in the rain. I think we had to use a little silicone on a couple spots but after that, no leaks. Some Technical difficulties and frustration getting the missing pieces and then getting the workers back to complete the job, but overall very pleased.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I previously had no shade in my yard and in CA it gets so hot that my yard was unbearable in the summer. I could not be happier with my Gazebo purchase! It’s sturdy, looks fantastic, was fairly easy to put together, now we can actually sit outside and enjoy our yard without burning!

I purchased the Grill Gazebo XL as well as the 14’X10’ Cordova for our newly renovated back yard space. The Grill Gazebo XL, I put together by myself and just had a friend help me lift the roof section onto the frame. With the Cordova, I had 2 friends help and we had a pretty good system down by the end. Had it not started to rain it would’ve only taken us about 6 hours in total. Still, with the rain delay, it only took about 8 hours total time. We added a few accessories to each structure such as lights, a ceiling fan in the Cordova s well as a couple roll-up shades on the Cordova to help shield against the harsh sunlight when it’s low in the sky or a brisk wind. Between the included instructions and the app, assemble was pretty straightforward. Once you complete on section, it’s mostly all repetitive but don’t get carried away. Read the instructions and stick to them. All-in-all, I’m thoroughly impressed with the look and quality of both products. Time will tell how they hold up to the Midwest winter months but I don’t anticipate and issues.
