[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this Backyard Gazebo from Lowe’s last Spring to have it ready by summer. It arrived on time and we stored it in our garage until we were ready to put it up. It took us a long time to put together because we are not builders of any sort. Our son did come and help, he is not a professional builder but he is able to do much more than my husband and I could. We worked around his schedule. It helped that we organized the wood and hardware so we didn’t have to search for pieces when we needed them. We finally got it up and we’re very pleased. Our children and grandchildren were able to enjoy the shade by the pool. I highly recommend this gazebo. However, to save time, I would gladly pay the service fee to have someone experienced put it together. If you are good at this sort of thing you could do it with at least two others helping. The directions are easy to follow and perfect to create a beautiful gazebo. The wood is beautiful and it is sturdy and the beautiful metal roof does not leak in heavy rain. We were impressed with how all of the pieces fit together.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are enjoying our gazebo very much! My husband and I were able to assemble it over the course of a weekend. We did need a third person to help with one part of the wood assembly and when we had to raise the roof pieces. The wood foundation was a pretty simple and easy install. The roof was a bit harder - directions could have been a little clearer. Overall construction is solid.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The gazebo has been up for the past 3 weeks and it’s been awesome. It’s added to our outdoor living space plus we added several other items to it to make it even more enjoyable: outdoor speakers, outdoor fan, outdoor lighting, and outdoor furniture.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I bought this gazebo and put it together in stages. Great instructions and excellent quality. We do recommend looking up a YouTube video for tips before beginning. It takes time and patience but definitely worth it. Highly recommend. We’re so happy with it and love it.

Our Barrington 16x12 gazebo went up two weeks ago and WOW! We love sitting under our gazebo and chatting with friends and neighbors. It's the natural go to place now and everyone loves it. It looks great and is the best yard addition we've made in years!

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.

Very nice product, but do yourself three favors. 1) Download the BILT app. This helps clear up any doubts you have about how things go together. You still have to pay attention to the details of the instructions! 2) Don't get in a hurry. Make sure you take the time to make sure the parts are properly aligned before tightening things down. This will aid in proper fit in subsequent steps. 3) Have plenty of room to lay out the six cartons that this unit comes in. I was killing myself trying to make sub-assemblies in one side of my garage and digging through boxes while it poured down rain outside. Also, it's really nice to have help. It DOES TAKE THREE PEOPLE to install the roof panels. After some struggles, still Very happy with this piece.

The build quality is great, instructions great, the ‘out of the box’ installers.. not so great. It took them 2 days and I had to help otherwise things would have been skipped or missed. The individual roof panels have a cap edge that that they would have been forgotten which would have been a nightmare as when the heavy roof panels are in place another slide on piece covers the 2 adjoining cap pieces. As it was, they messed up one cap edge by not screwing it in the middle -you could see the sky looking up from under the gazebo- so I had to lean in on the roof and reach in to add a couple screws so the covering piece would slide on. They forgot to install 2 covering boards on the 16’ sides, which I had to add.. they drilled 1/4” holes for 1/4” tapcons meaning they had no holding power (you could unscrew them from the concrete by hand) so I had to buy 5/16” tapcons for the 1/4” holes. A few days after they left, I added 4-5 bolts they missed.. For the installed cost, you’d expect more tech know-how than the installers I got. Love the gazebo, it was worth every penny and structurally very impressive but the installers….

I bought this kit about a month ago. 5 boxes with the heaviest around 200lbs. No parts were missing after unpacking. Everything was labeled well. Pretty straightforward and detailed instructions. Takes 2 people about 2 days install. Tips: sort and put in order all of the wood and same with the hardware by number. I placed my gazebo on a paver patio so I had to remove a few pavers to place 4 footers 12" round and 32" deep then reinstalled pavers. Also when you installed the footers, use the Sampson post plates instead of what they give you. This will give you a little leeway or ability to adjust. Don't even go to forward until your post are absolutely square and level. Hardest part of the job is peeling the shri k wrap off the metal panels, miserable tedious job. Looks beautiful next to the pool area and I bought a 1 x 6x8 cedar board and cut pieces to accent the pole bottoms.to.not see post brackets. SUPER well made product but takes some time to do it right. Also don't right and get a gallon of seal once and coat each cedar board. Also it doesnt say it anywhere but this gazebo is ve ted at the top too. Good luck and worth it when done!
