We love the Gazebo design. Everyone that sees it says the same thing! They love it. The electrical box makes it easy to add lighting for special occasions. Provide shade for a quick lunch at the picnic table or a comfortable place to cook outdoors in the rain. The quality and design is excellent. Would highly recommend.

I bought this to add to my deck expansion. With the help of my sons. We got it assembled. Took longer than expected, but had limited time where my sons could come over & help. Instructions were very detailed. Only issue was a couple of the posts had holes drilled in wrong place for the corner brackets & had to drill new holes and it wasn't easy taking the plastic wrap off the metal parts. That's the reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. We are loving the new gazebo.

I purchased and built a 16x12 Barrington Gazebo this past summer and we have absolutely loved it! I would say that everyday that we had good weather, we were under it. We thought that even in a light rain with no wind, we could hang out, but unfortunately, without anything catching the rain dripping off the roof, it would hit the concrete and splatter back under the gazebo, making the practical usable area very small under the gazebo. Backyard Discovery does not offer a gutter system for their gazebos, and I really didn't like the look of the offerings from some of the other gazebo manufacturers out there. So, I designed my own. It was relatively simple, but would have been easier had I done it when first building the unit. First, I removed the trim pieces around the outside of the roof. Then I added 4" flashing under the roof panels, hanging down the facial board about 3". I had purchased steel J channel (brown, nearly the same color as the supplied trim), which I attached under the flashing with a stainless steel screw through the flashing and J channel into the facial board. I had to cut, bend, rivet, and caulk the corners of the J channel. I also had to make sure there was a slight slope from corner to corner so the water would flow correctly. On the lowest corner (opposite corner being the highest), I simply channeled the water out into the yard, instead of a downspout. Although a downspout would work also. Then I reinstalled the original trim with it also handing into the J channel. It really turned out great, looks great, and works perfectly. It handles light to medium rains easily, and allow us to hang out under the gazebo and stay dry. I think it would be great if Backyard Discovery would include this with the gazebo originally, or as an option. But until then, this is a great DIY for it.

We purchased this gazebo a few months ago and we are very happy with it. Everything was included that we needed to erect it. The lumber was pre-cut to the correct dimensions and the holes were all pre-drilled. Our sons helped us build it on a Saturday and we were finished by mid-afternoon. The only thing we didn't realize until after we purchased it was that we were strongly encouraged to apply a sealer to all the lumber before erecting it. While that required a little extra prep time, we're glad we did it. Other than that, everything was as we expected.

The structure seems very strong and was straight forward to assemble. The roof panels were the most challenging to lift into position. This required enough people and planning to do safely. One design change is needed. The metal band that goes around at the bottom of the roof should go UNDER the roof pieces instead of over them as instructed, because it catches leaves and debris. My leaves caused visible stains on the wood. After it was too late I saw blogs mention how the instructions should be revised.

We had been wanting a pavilion type cover for several years. We had several estimates, but just didn't want to pay the price! When we came across this jewel and were impressed with the fact that the wood is cedar, we decided this is the one! We had it installed this past summer and absolutely love it! We did have to have help putting it together, but boy was it worth it! We are pleased with the look, the finish and the quality! People that visit always comment about what a good addition it is to our backyard!

I purchased this gazebo this summer and hired someone to assemble it for me. They never found time so I did it myself. I must say there are so many good things about this set. Very good quality materials that for the most part fit together like a glove. They even give you extra screws/bolts/washers which I needed because I dropped a few in the grass and could not find them and I stripped a couple screws (my fault). I did have a few problems but since I am not a professional handy man, it could of been my fault. You must get the roof framing within the correct dimensions as stated in the instructions. The 10' sides were off a slight bit and I could not get it fixed. This caused a little problem later. The roof pieces are heavy so it will take 3 strong people to set them up and secure them. The paper instructions were OK but I had to use Youtube to verify some things...and there's an app you can download too that helps allot. If you are considering it, do it.

We bought this gazebo a few months ago and had it assembled. We are very happy with it and have received a lot of compliments. It is sturdy and looks great. We stained it with a transparent stain and wiring for a ceiling fan and lights. We spend a lot of time on the patio now and love our new setup!

We looked at a lot of options and different products on the market to replace our existing gazebo and finally decided to go with the Backyard discovery Cordova and we are glad we did. It is an extremely well constructed product. We live in upstate New York where we get plenty of snow and, we are confident that this gazebo will hold up to the snow load. It looks great on our deck and seems to be built to last. The power / outlet panel is a very nice feature and gives you plenty of options.

We absolutely love our new cedar gazebo! It's not only beautiful, but also incredibly sturdy. The natural wood grain of the cedar gives it a timeless look that blends perfectly with our backyard. You can tell it's built to last, with solid construction that holds up well in various weather conditions. It's become a stunning focal point of our outdoor space, and we couldn't be happier with the quality and craftsmanship. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a durable and attractive addition to their home!
