[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this to go above our hot tub in our back yard. It has done it's job providing necessary shade and weather protection. We are very pleased with the quality of the materials. They were shipped in multiple boxes, which were not organized based off of procedure steps. This would have been more helpful in easily locating the correct hardware for the correct steps. However, the instructions were very straightforward, and all components arrived undamaged and in excellent condition.

[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.

overall a great product! takes a little time and knowledge to build. instructions are great. will need an additional person to help! if boxes went in order of build it would have saved some time, bc finding the pieces amoung 4 boxes was a little time consuming.

We bought this Gazebo to provide shade for our backyard pool patio. We love the solid cedar construction and the metal roof which keeps us covered on rainy days. Assembly instructions were very detailed and easy to follow. Extra hardware was also provides for most assembly steps. Could not be happier with this purchase, we look forward to enjoying it for many years to come.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a well built product and the directions are very detailed with all parts labeled. All of the metal roofing is protected by plastic film to reduce scratches during shipping. There are 5 boxes of parts which took me a weekend to assemble by myself with the exception of lifting the roof up. I used different anchors in my concrete to fasten instead of the screws that came with the kit. I also did not put the metal roof trim over the top of the roof panels like instructed, I put it under the roof panel which is more like a drip edge. The reason I did this was to avoid leaves, sticks, and acorns from getting stuck between the roof and the roof trim. The trim did not have to be cut to install this was, I will include a picture.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this in May and was able to have it installed before Fathers Day so that my husband could have his brothers get together. They were all surprised how nice and clean it looked. I have been enjoying it every chance I get. All my friends and family love coming over to hang out. Next Spring will be fantastic. I love it and thanks.

Assembled this gazebo mostly by myself, with 3 helpers to lift the roof panels into place. The printed instructions are very well written and easy to follow. I had a few questions during the build and customer support was wonderful.All the parts fit together nicely and are high quality. Great product overall and everyone who sees it is quite impressed.

Just purchased a 12' x 14' Barrington gazebo and used two friends to help me assemble it. The job only took 1 1/2 days. All components were per the item list. The assembly went extremely as all holes lined up perfectly. The only thing is that I would have preferred a darker cedar color. I will attempt to stain it next week.

We needed shade on our patio and had a hard time finding something because our space was so large. So we decided to purchase (2) of the Cordova 14 X 10 Gazebos which fit perfect on one side of our space. Now we have a perfect shaded space and a sun space to enjoy the summer months.

I just finished assembling this gazebo last weekend. I agree with the other points people have said in these reviews. The 10hr assembly is definitely not realistic unless you have two people experienced with this particular gazebo. I'm 53yrs and it took me 22hrs.. Plus another 6hrs combined from another person who helped me the 1st day and 2 more for about an hour to get the roof panels in place. Biggest advice... Pick the bilt app Or the written directions (they are slightly different) and follow it carefully! Once the roof panels are in place and secured by the 1st bolts it's easy to get ahead of yourself seeing what comes next and not look closely at directions. I was missing one piece from one of the 10ft "A" frame pieces (which backyard discovery shipped me 2day express with no problem or hassle) So we put up the other 3 roof panels and secured them. When we finally put 4th and final roof panel in to place I ended up having to loosen almost all the bolts to the other panels and nudge over panels to get all the holes to align... The manuals clearly say do not tighten until they are all in place and bolts started. So again.. It's easy to get ahead of yourself, don't skip something thinking you can come back to it, it's in that order for a reason. Also.. Pay attention to when you have to drill pilot holes! The pieces come with probably 95% of the pilot holes already there for you, but then the instructions will say fasten such and such drilling a pilot hole.. And if you read over it quickly you can think the pilot hole is already there.. Happened to me and wood started to split so backed out thinking I was using wrong screw,... Looked at instructions more carefully, and was like oh... I was supposed to drill pilot hole. Other than that it was pretty straight forward, a couple of the wooden roof cross pieces were warped making holes kind of a pain to align but nothing too bad. I definitely recommend taking the 2-3 hrs before you start and unboxing everything and sorting it, put bags of screws /bolts and washers in numerical order so they're easy to find, and be careful tearing open the bags, don't destroy the markings on the bag identifying what part# they are.. Some washers you'll use a lot of.. Then come back to them hours later and need more of the same part #. Raising the roof panels instead of putting a person on ladder in the middle we had person stand on ground, they used a 2x4 about 6 feet long as a pole to help guide peak of roof panel in place under roof cap, just had to remind them don't put 2x4 against sheet metal roof... Keep it on one of the cross wood frame pieces, it worked well. Bolted all together and tightened down its a very strong structure. It should last a long time and withstand the changes in weather here in Wisconsin and occasional heavy snowfalls.
