Fabulous! Very sturdy. Word of advice: You need someone who has the correct tools and skill to assemble it. There are a-lot, a-lot of a-lot of pieces.

I bought this 2 months ago and very happy with it. Hired someone to put it together. Took 2 people about 9 hours. Not one issue so far. Looks great. perfect size.

I love this gazebo. It's very sturdy and I'm hoping it weathers well over time. It's a very nice looking product. It is a lot of work to put together.

We just built two Backyard Discovery structures and we absolutely love them! The instructions were very clear for both, especially the emphasis on critical steps that would terribly difficult later on if missed. Some of the online reviewers, who praised your products and were quite detailed, recommended treating all of the pieces before assembly. We did so. Yes, it added some time to the project. But we want this to last for a very long time and consider that extra investment of our time to be worth it. I am not sure if you want to mention such an undertaking or not. Perhaps if you had been doing some studies and could offer some insight? In the meantime, we'll have to see how well Olympic Transparent Waterguard works over the years.

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 invested in the 14x12 Barrington Gazebo to replace our lightweight metal and fabric gazebo. The kit came in good shape and all parts and pieces were accounted for. Amazingly, they actually give you a few spare parts in all the hardware bags, just in case!! All hardware is powder coated black and fits well together. The first problem I had was realizing that there were wooden parts INSIDE the 4 large legs. 2 of these pieces of wood were jammed in there pretty good so it took some ingenuity to pull them out. I didn't want to smash the poles down and damage them, so a ratchet strap hook was dropped down to try and pull them out. Don't start assembly unless ALL parts are accounted for!! Assembly of the rafters seemed to be the most time consuming and tricky part of this project. Some boards were twisted, and the holes didn't always line up as expected, which required some force to get it all square. 3 people are highly recommended to lift the rafters and roof frame up easily. Inserting the bolts for the rafters (steps 35 & 36) proved to be the most challenging as the holes didn't always line up. It took some persuasion, and even removing screws from steps 22B & 30B were needed to allow the rafters to flex in order to line these holes up correctly enough. Once tightened, I reinstalled these screws. The plastic coating on all the metal parts took forever to get off, often ripping off in small pieces, extremely annoying. Overall, this whole kit did come together nicely in the end. It looks great, and I have no doubt it will hold up well in our Northeast winters. I am happy with my purchase and building experience.

Love this gazebo. The delivery was great the delivery guy brought the boxes to the back of the house for me which saved my back. Backyard has great documentation for the install which i partly did by my self with a little help from my wife. I had a neighbor and his son with the roof section and everything went smooth. One thing i did do was upgrade the anchors. We can get some nasty monsoons here in Arizona. The gazebo is a well designed and sturdy unit.

We had a EF2 tornado come thru and it stood up to it. We had it anchored to a concrete patio and the only damage it has is a few dents in metal roof and one side has a dents and gouges from flying debris. Our house needs a new roof (even though the roof was only one year old from flying debris) and new siding. This is very sturdy and beautiful.

This gazebo (I call it a pavilion) was a fantastic purchase. Heavy duty structure & outstanding quality. Highly recommend to consider staining it before the build, it turned out beautiful! I used Cabot Australian Timber Oil Jarrah Brown and stained each individual piece, 143 pieces total. Cabot confirmed no need for a separate coat of water sealant as it's built into their stain formula. Just use staining pads (not brushes) to apply & it goes quickly. Each piece is numbered for orderly assembly. I paid the extra money for assembly and the company they contract with sent 2 hard working guys who had it built in 10 hours. We chose wisely...very happy!

We bought this a month ago. It went up fairly easy. Nicely detailed directions! I LOVE how it makes my patio look now. We get so many compliments! We added lights and soon a fan. It helps keep the hot sun out of my sliding glass door, keeping the room inside cooler. Best decision
