Follow the instructions very carefully. Have all required tools and an organized assembly area. Have at least 3 adults for placing roofing sections in place. The gazebo is awesome. We have had it up for a week and spend every night enjoying our new peaceful place in our backyard. I highly recommend this product.

High quality, beautiful gazebo. Build and assembly were straight forward, easy, and simple with the Built App... The gazebo parts were designed to the 1/8 inch spec.... Amazing architecture and machining. Highly recommend! Waterproof staining the wood took the longest, but I highly recommend it. You really do need 2-3 men to assemble the roof!

Added an additional 14x10 Cordova to one installed in 2021. Very good quality for a kit, every piece well marked and plenty of extra fasteners. The only complaints; would like to see a small amount of the finish included to cover scratches and scrapes during instillation, protective material on the metal roof panels is a real bugger to peal off ( this was one of the more time consuming parts of the project), The exterior finish on the roof panels should be of a sturdier product ( the roofing finish on the existing Cordova installed in 2021 is gone and already needs recoating, I'll need to find a matching color)

I'm really happy with the gazebo. I hired a friend to put it together. Kudos to any homeowners who can do the installation themselves for the gazebo. Probably pergolas are easier. It looks so nice. I look forward to going outside each day to spend time sitting in it.

Backyard Discovery has wonderful, friendly customer service. They helped us track our order and arrange for it's set up. The set up was awesome. They were on time, thorough, communicated aftercare, and cleaned everything up when done. We love our gazebo!

We purchased the 12x14 gazebo as well as the XL BBQ Gazebo. Both are made of same materials. They looks modern with the black hardware and the wood is a very nice stain. The wood is a little soft so it does show some scuffs and sings from the packaging and shipping, but it is not too bad. Love the power bars that come with both of these. We installed heaters and a fan on the larger gazebo.

So glad we purchased this gazebo. It was a challenge to assemble but everything was clear between the paper instructions and the Bilt app. Using both helped us confirm a few tricky assemblies with the roof panels. We did it with two people until the roof panels went up. Four is just right. Having several ladders was ideal. Best to watch the video and sort out the hardware and lumber by number before you plan to do the build. It turned out beautiful, smells wonderfully of cedar, and we began using it immediately. Two trim pieces had some plastic packing melted on them that we couldn't remove. I emailed customer service and they were replaced immediately. Shipped within days. No regrets here. Highly recommend!

We got our 14x12 Barrington gazebo installed on our patio today…we watched as it was being built by two experienced Go-Configure installers….The attention to detail on this gazebo is impressive…The installers did a great job. We are thoroughly satisfied with our decision to buy this Backyard Discovery gazebo. We have string lights going up in it in a couple days!

I bought this 16x12 gazebo about a month ago. Did take a few weeks to get together due to traveling for work but with 3 handy people can be done in a day or 2. Quality materials and instructions are well done if you don't use the app. Definitely recommend there products!

I bought this 14X10 Barrington gazebo about 1 month ago. It was delivered in excellent condition. I had 1 roof corner ridge cap that was bent and did not realize it until I came to that instruction since it was wrapped in plastic and stacked. However, I put that ridge cap in the back of the gazebo so it can't be seen. The gazebo went together very well. The cedar was all in very good condition and all the holes were in the right places. The roof was the biggest challenge. I put the roof sections up with the help of my wife and daughter. My biggest challenge was the ridge cap channel. The roof sections did not come together like it should have for smooth insertion of the ridge cap channel. One roof section is higher than the other and the channel could not be properly installed - it comes out on one side about half way up the roof so, I added some extra screws to make it hopefully stay. I would have given it a 5 star if the roof ridge channel went smoother. I placed this gazebo on 4 cement pads that all went 45 inches deep beyond frost line. I sealed the gazebo with oil based sealer which went on very nicely.
