[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had spent years running out during high winds or thunder storms, climbing on a ladder to pull the cover off my old lightweight patio gazebo. I desperately wanted to upgrade but the cost of building my own was crazy expensive. Then comes the Cordova! What a huge upgrade! Unit looks great even like I built it myself (well I did!). It was a lot of work to build but I’m very happy with the outcome. Be sure to give yourself time to build it. It does take time and extra help. Don’t rush and layout all of the parts. You’ll need extra help lifting the roof panels into place. They are not light. Plan ahead, take your time and it will be well worth the effort. They also gave one or two extra of every fastener. No missing parts! That all said, I did have a number of chipped or warped boards. Careful planning allowed me to cover or straighten most of them. Backyard Discovery did offer to send me extra stain (which was nice!) but haven’t seen it yet. Will be adding my own electrical and ceiling fan in the next week. Just in time to enjoy the summer!

[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!

ALL components are well labeled and easily identifiable. Even the metal roof components are film covered to keep it protected until installation. I think removing the film is the actual hardest part, patience is needed, but you figure out tricks as you go along. Assembling sections on a painter's tarp will help minimize scratches and scuffs to wood finish. One main builder and an extra set of hands can complete the project, but a couple extra sets always helps speed things up. Great investment, because after anchoring it, it is SOLID!

[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.

Got a quote from a contractor for a 10x10 gazebo and was quoted $14,000+. We found this and for the price it was worth a try. There were some very slight imperfections on the wood when arrived (from shipping co.). I was able to assemble mostly everything myself. Lifting the roof panels definitely requires 3 people and ladders for each. We bought this as part of building our dream outdoor kitchen. We've had the gazebo for 9 months now through rain and wind and blasting sun, and it still looks brand new. We are very happy with the purchase and for the price you can't beat it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We added our new gazebo 3 months after moving into our new home and we are absolutely loving every part of it! The look this gazebo gives our back yard is so perfect and family and friends all love spending time in our gazebo. The gazebo is the best addition to our loving home.

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.

We finally completed our summer project and this 14x12 Barrington Gazebo was the perfect addition to our new patio. The instructions along with the Built App provided all the direction needed to complete the project. You can do this with two people, would recommend a 3rd for frame and roof install day. Kit comes with all the hardware and bits you need to build this out. We love the finished product.

Let me syart by sayonf I dont wrie reviews but was so impressed with this I wanted to share my thought and give credit where credit is due. My mom purchased this after having 2 steel frame with cloth covers for the past several years with the hassle of trying to get replacemnt covers. I researched the Cordova. We live in Northeast and need to have at least 40 pound per square foot snow load. This exceeded the regional snow rating and I also liked the all wood frame construction. I've built alot of things over many years from house framing to steel buildings and am usually dissappointed with kit type products being a professional. This was really easy to put together and alot of detail was put into the design as well as the assembly manual. Everything was very clear and easy to follow step by step. As long as you can read and have some skill I thing even someone without extensive construction skills could assemble one of these. I am completely satisfied with the finished product it goes beyond my expectations and would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice product at a reasonble price.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My wife and I really like the gazebo and looking forward sitting outside when it's raining or sunny. My son, nephew, cousin and I had fun spending time together while building the gazebo. I had a few questions and your customer service was extremely helpful and kind.
