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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this gazebo about 5-6 months ago. I put it together myself with help from family. Be patient with the installation. Take your time and follow the directions exactly and things will work out well. The gazebo looks great and is sturdy. I've had it up now several months and it is hasn't moved at all and I live in a very windy area. This gazebo really solved a problem for us - we couldn't use our back patio in the summer because of the direct sunshine. Now we can use the patio year round.

I bought this last fall and I had the company install it. Which I’m glad I did. They were very efficient in getting the gazebo put up in a few hours. It would have taken me a couple days I’m sure. The gazebo is a perfect fit on my patio and it’s a solid piece. My back yard is hammered with wind and it has stood up to the test. As I got it in the end of summer early fall it did great with blocking the sun. I can’t wait to get back outside and just relax under it hen the weather breaks. I definitely recommend this gazebo.

We love our gazebo. We added lights and a fan. My husband and I come out in the evenings just to sit and relax. It's like a staycation. We had a graduation party yesterday and got so many compliments on it. We plan to add a shade on one side for the sun for longer hours of enjoyment!

This gazebo is every bit as beautiful as the pictures. We love the charm and warmth of the cedar. The only downside was the company hired to erect the gazebo (recommended by Backyard Discovery) did not secure it to the patio. They cited 'liability' issues. We had to do it ourselves.

This piece is beautiful but took a long time to assemble. The instructions could have been a little more helpful instead of minimal pictures. Overall it was a good experience putting it together with my family in town! It’s something we will cherish.

Nice precut unit they have it figured out very well, if you build it yourself pay a lot of attention to the instruction as they are written. When they show you those high lighted instruction in red don't blow them off it will hurt you at the final step. Customer service was very helpful had a few pieces that had warps and they sent new ones right away. We bought a 12x20 and it has a lot of parts and big panels so have at least 3 to 4 people it sure makes it easy. We give it a 4 star because they have no 4.5 can't give it a 5 some of the instruction can be a little bit of a head scratcher and the film on the trim is super hard to get off so start early on working it off. All in all very happy with Gazebo it will surely be enjoyed by the family, material is good quality and packaging was very professional.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We install our 16x12 Barrington gazebo on a deck next to our seasonal campsite at the beach. The quality of the backyard Barrington impressed us so much that we have plans purchasing a second for our home.

[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.

We lost our first gazebo (soft-top) to the harsh winters in the northeast, and knew we needed something better. Luckily, this seems to fit the bill nicely. Snow load ratings are one of the best around in the "kit" category, and the price was extremely reasonable.
