[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and sons assembled this two weeks ago & it looks great. They mounted an outdoor ceiling fan and lights to make it even better. We had some very strong winds over the weekend and were happy to see it didn't even budge the gazebo. Very happy with it so far!

Very well planned out kit. Kudos to the designers and fabricators. One thing I would like to point out are the markings for the parts. It was a little difficult to read the numbers on the wood pieces. Dark ink on dark stained wood. Just had to match the image and measurements from the manual. Also some of the markings on the bags were a little hard to read as well. One thing that I am not really happy about is the edge trim for the roof. It is installed on top of the sheeting which means the runoff goes in behind the edging and can cause premature rot to the outer rafter boards. I suggest using a wood sealer on the rafters as well as foam closure strips under the roof sheeting BEFORE installing the edge trim. I look forward to this summer and setting up our outdoor theater while smoking a brisket!!!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this Gazebo to cover my hot tub. The Gazebo looks great and I have received several compliments on it. The wife loves bot the look and the additional hot tub use with rain and cold (surrounded with curtains in cold weather). Instructions were fairly clear and it was more or less easy to put together with only a little bit of confusion or potential misalignment of pieces. The only assistance I required was lifting of the roof panels in place, with the 14' sections requiring 3 people. The only real problem I had was that a few cement anchors snapped while attaching to the concrete columns even with a impact driver....bought a new set from Lowes that were a little thicker to properly secure. I did have to slightly modify by cutting about a foot from 2 pillars as the area is on a slight hill. My neighbors that helped with the roof panels, were pretty impressed by the quality of the gazebo. They could see how sturdy the gazebo was, how the pieces were fit together close up, the weight of the roof, etc. basically the things you don't see from far off looking in someone else's back yard. I do not normally submit reviews, but there was a chance to win...so that is why incentivized review is marked, but everything I am saying is true, I am just lazy :) This is a great product and I am very happy to have purchased.

I bought this 16x12 Barrington for its style and guarantees with the wind and weight load. Most gazebos, I noticed my research, are only rated for half the wind and weight load of this one. It came palletized in six boxes. You need a large area to spread everything out to make sense of the parts. There were two pieces of wood that were damaged in the box, but the company immediately replaced same within a couple days without a problem. I did need two other people to attach the legs to the framework and again to install the roof panels. The 16-ft roof panels were a challenge to install because of their weight and awkwardness of its size. I did need a little help with the rubber mallet and wood clamps for this step. I did find it weird that you install the drip edge over the roof and not under. The rain does go down under the drip edge, over the cedar fascia, and onto the deck. I don't know how long this wood will last before rotting. They should figure out a different way to finish the roof with the water being diverted in a different way. Also, when I had the paver patio installed I gave the contractor the measurements to wear each post was going to be located. He then poured a concrete footing under the pavers and those pavers are also embedded in the concrete. I used 5-in concrete anchor screws to lock down the posts.

I purchased this back in March and got it last Wednesday. I completed it today ,with everyone trying to go cheap on their product I was very impressed with the quality of the material. The instructions are very easy to follow I laid out the material as instructed and everything went smoothly.The only thing I needed help on was installing the roof pieces.I was only short 14 1/4 flat washers which is impressive considering the number of pieces with this product. I called and they are sending me some flat washers, I went to the hardware store and got some and painted them black I. Order to complete it today the person I spoke with was very knowledgeable and courteous.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this over the summer and after a couple of days of work to install (rain delay) the end result is beautiful. It’s solidly built and stands up to high wind. The 12 v outlet allowed us to install a nice light fixture in the middle. I’m considering getting another in a smaller size for our pool area.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very well-designed gazebo with sturdy cedar wood pillars and an aluminum rooftop. Perfect for our salt-air environment. Although we had to hire a company to put it together because it was too complicated for the two of us, we would purchase it again,.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very satisfied with the quality. Don’t be intimidated. All parts are very well marked and organized. My husband put it all together by himself. Only needed a second pair of hands at the very end to put on patio. Would buy again and again. Great price!

My husband and 2 friends took a day to put together this pergola. It came out beautiful, and it's exactly what we wanted! We live on the water, and it's heavy materials shouldn't be a problem with strong winds. Love it and can't wait for summer cocktails poolside under it!

I purchased the 14’ X 10’ gazebo last year. It was very time consuming to put up but it seems well made. We have had multiple wind storms since I finished it and I’ve had no problems. I like the look of the stained cedar which has not faded through the seasons. We sit underneath it all of the time during good weather. I’ve even enjoyed it in a light rain.
