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.

I bought this a surprise for my wife a few months ago. She was looking at gazebos in stores and always wanted one. I saw this gazebo and never saw anything like it before! The size, sturdiness, and with outlet! So i purchased it along with professional builder plan to have it built for her as well. She was so surprised when she came home and it was already built (only took two installers a few hours). She couldn’t believe how beautiful it looked, she told me that she has never seen anything like this in stores. Let me give you the most honest feedback…This gazebo exceeded all mine as well as her expectations! We have hosted a few family gathering and got do many compliments on it. I even referred a couple of family members to the website to purchase one because they loved it so much.

[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!

Absolutely love my gazebo now that it is together. Assembly however was extremely challenging. There is probably 100 pcs of cedar boards and 500 plus screws and other parts. The markings on the boards are small and faint on the ends of the board. It took me two hours of unboxing and relabeling each board with painters tape and a permanent marker. This up front work saved many many hours searching for parts. It took quite a bit longer than the suggested 3 people/10 hours. You need at least 3 strong people for the roof assembly but the more the better. The end result however is an excellent quality gazebo that I believe will last a very long time. This is much nicer than the ones you typically see in the big box stores. My husband did say he would hire out assembly if there was a next time, lol!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought and assembled this Gazebo in the middle of summer. I did the vast majority of the assembly by myself. I just need help lifting the four roof sections to the top of gazebo. My Dad and My son also helped me remove all the blue plastic that was protecting all the roof sheet metal parts. That would have taken me an extra day if I had to do that on my own. It is very sturdy. We also added an indoor-outdoor fan to the top of the gazebo. We also added lights and mounted a TV with an outdoor cover. The only think I can say negative about this gazebo, is that it really needs gutters. If we have rain and it is windy too, everything under the gazebo still gets soaked.

I put almost all of this together by myself (54 yrs old), just putting the sections together over about 3 nights, then I assembled it all by myself on a Saturday, I did have to recruit help at the end, to assist in putting the roof sections on, the roof actually needs 3 people, we managed to do it with 2, the roof is definitely the hardest part of the assembly, but I highly suggest having help, be prepared it's not a 1 day simple project, it is fairly easy to assemble, it's just time consuming. if you want something that looks great and is sturdy, I highly recommend this gazebo.

I purchased the Barrington 14x10 gazebo and had absolutely no issues putting it together. I could not be more happy with how it looks after putting it together. It’s everything I had hoped it would be. Please give the person or team a bonus or raise as they are some of the best assembly instructions I’ve ever seen. Between that and the Bilt app on my iPhone, I did not have any questions whatsoever in the building of the gazebo. Simply perfect.

So it took me about three weeks to do during the hot summer days that we had, I actually did about a weeks worth of work on it in between resting from the heat with over hundred degrees temperature several days in my area. Everything went together fairly well, I was a little worried about the measurements for the four roof panels, but once I got it up there and all bolted together, it turned out great. I recommend just following the instructions page by page and don't jump ahead and you should have no problem at all.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We live in South Carolina on the coast so we needed a shelter that sould withstand hurricane winds. Backyard Discovery was the only company that offered us a choice that fit our needs and price point. When constructing the gazebo I found that you can put it together a little differently than the instructions and still get great results, especially on the roof parts. for the most part it was a one person job. DO NOT try to install the roof panels without help. Preferrably three strong men. As you can see by the pictures, the end product is great. We love the way it turned out and it has been a pleasure to use. We added gutters because it was close to the house and we wanted to have a way to get to it without getting wet. It worked out better than we exp[ected. Overall it's a good value. It does take some expertise to put together, but a handy person can do it.

The gazebo is beautiful. I have received a lot of compliments on it. The built in power strip is a great feature. It has held up through some pretty intense storms so far. The dimensions do make it difficult to find netting to go around it. I was trying to find something to keep mosquitos out but no luck. I did purchase set up with the gazebo and that was a real pain. It took quite a long time to get someone out and I had to call back and forth several times with the company they use. If you can put it up yourself or know of a company who can I would use them instead. I was pretty frustrated with that situation. My gazebo sat in boxes for at least a month after having it delivered because they couldn’t get anyone out to set it up.
