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.] This took us 4months to complete by ourselves because we only had help on weekends from family it took 3-4 people to put together so if I had it to do again I'd pay to have it assembled by a contractor It still isn't finished because we need to put the trim on

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!

We love our new addition to the patio and while we installed it late in the season for much use, we look forward to next spring and summer. Install was work, but for the most part straight forward. We had help lifting roof sections in place as well as the initial four posts. We took our time, followed the paper instructions mostly and are very happy with the result. We sealed it with Thompsons sealer-before the roof panels were on which was a wise decision. And yesterday, we hung 5 strands of vintage large Christmas lights under the roof! Highly recommend

Our recent purchase of this gazebo has made the perfect addition to our patio. It has brought us from inside to the great outdoors more than before we had it. Our friends and neighbors comment on how great it looks. It’s the best addition to our home. We added lights for evenings and WOW it makes the perfect place to sit outside at night with friends. We love it! My husband and I wished we did it sooner. Great addition to our home!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got my gazebo installed last summer and I am in love with it. It is my favorite spot to sit and relax with my girlfriend and my dog and it compliments the patio furniture well. I may get the covered grill portion next!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought our Backyard Discovery Gazebo in June of 2023. So far it has been a great entertaining area for both friends and family! I think Backyard Discovery gazebos would make a fun addition to anybodies backyard. As someone who has bought one and have enjoyed it very much, I would suggest having a slab poured and plan out exactly where you may want to add a future dedicated electrical outlets or even possibly running water. We learned the hard way….lol I also suggest putting a nice good quality sealant on it soon after it’s built as well as think about adding gutters to it. For no other reason other than just to protecting your investment. Here are a couple pics for inspiration ideas…

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I assembled the gazebo over a period of 3 days. Watching a video with organization recommendations was very helpful. As noted in the very thorough instructions, positioning the roof panels requires additional help. In the end, you have an extremely attractive and rugged structure. It’s a bargain if you are comfortable with the assembly, or if you can contract the assembly for a reasonable price.

This is a great addition to my backyard. I call it my cook station. It has been so nice to be able to grill after sundown and on those rainy days. That said. This Gazebo is very well made and should last for many years. The only thing that would make it perfect is a gutter system.

[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.
