[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this to finish out our newly remodeled backyard pool and patio reno. Absolutely 💯 recommend Backyard Discovery. The app for you to assemble yourself was amazing and not one bolt or screw didn't match up they all went as it was designed. My wife and I both over 60 did this ourselves and are very pleased with the build and quality of it. Fit as expected and we love it!

I was very impressed with the quality and craftsmanship. YOU NEED TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY, and if you do you will be very happy with how it goes together very well. I did have a few questions along the way and I called the 800 number any got someone right away and they were very helpful. Very happy with the Gazebo!

Putting together this gazebo is a large project, it took several weekends to put it all together. 95% of the work can be done by two people, but getting the 14' roof panels up and secured needs 3-4 people. You need patience to put together all the pieces accurately. You will need a hammer drill to secure it to your concrete. At the very end putting the roof trim on using the self tapping screws do not work by themselves, you need to pre-drill holes in order for it to secure. Overall it turned out very nice.

It is nice looking and sturdy. The color of the wood is slightly lighter than pictured. There’s also a ton of imperfections on the wood and for how much I spent, it is a bit bothersome. Overall, it’s a high quality product. I really liked the option to pay extra for installation. The guys did a good job setting it up overall, though it did prevent us from noticing the imperfections prior to setting it up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this at the beginning of the summer to put beside our pool. Best decision! Instructions we very clear on how to assemble. My husband and I assembled it over the course of a few days. We enjoyed it all summer and have enjoyed the shade. We also liked it electric box that comes with it.

First bit of advice is don’t print using dark ink on a clear plastic bag when the contents of the bag are the same color as the ink. Second, the manifests detailing what each box contains should all be accessible without having to open each box. This would allow people to strategically unpack things and organize them. I just started assembling today so I will update the review as I progress.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased my gazebo 5 months ago and we LOVE IT!! We have enjoyed several backyard parties and family gatherings underneath our gazebo. We love the post with the electrical and USB connections which makes it convenient to enjoy music, and charge cell phones/electronics while outside all day without going into the house. It’s Perfect for birthday parties and relaxing outdoors.

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! ;)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Added a 16X30 deck in the back yard, and then topped it off with the 14x10 Gazebo. Took a weekend with a couple of friends to put together but very happy with this. Added an outdoor fan and light and makes for a great place to get out of the sun and relax. Would buy Backyard Discovery products again.
