Not going to lie-this thing is a beast to out together. The directions could be a tad clearer for the average person. There are very specific ways to attach things and if anything is backwards it’ll mess up the whole thing. We ended up having to drill a few additional holes to assemble the roof panels. It’s not perfect, but it’s sturdy and looks great! Take your time and have 2-3 people to help. :)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are enjoying the gazebo when weather permits. One problem: one of the columns has rough wood around knots that should not have made it past QA. It will require some careful work to make it presentable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We added this to our pool area as more of a place to sit out and enjoy when the weather got cooler. We've slept under it and sat out there when it's rained. We just love the quality and the value it's added to our home.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very well-designed gazebo with sturdy cedar wood pillars and an aluminum rooftop. Perfect for our salt-air environment. Although we had to hire a company to put it together because it was too complicated for the two of us, we would purchase it again,.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] MY wife and i had a poorly constructed pergola over an aging deck when we bought our home 3.5 years ago. We decided to have the deck replaced and found this Cordova gazebo would be perfect for shade. The hip roof design gives it a more premium look. WE also love the power box with 3 ac outlets and 3 USB power ports. Although we haven't had the opportunity to use it much due to weather but the quality of materials is outstanding, especially for a kit.

My husband took about a week to build this largely by himself, at a very easy pace! He is 68 yrs old . It has been a truly wonderful addition to the garden house at an unbelievable price! One of our posts had a mar that happened in shipping, in about 3 days a brand new one showed up! Customer service is a dream! It deserves 6 ⭐'s!!

This review is overdue by a month but I wanted to wait until I had the some other work around the pool area completed before I posted photos. Before I start, a local builder quoted me over $35K for a gazebo build – with a start date of fall of 2023. I searched online and Backyard Discovery had some great looking products. We selected the 16x12 Barrington Gazebo. First, the online purchasing experience easy and intuitive. (10/10) I selected the assembly option which is performed by a company called Go Configure (more on that later). Communication from Backyard Discovery was great and they were very clear and concise on delivery dates. (10/10) The actual delivery was performed exactly as promised and they even placed the boxes in my garage for safekeeping. The boxes are huge so unless you have helpers, I recommend you clear a space in your garage or other covered area in advance of delivery and have them put it there for you (if you can). Our driver was awesome and called in advance of delivery and then could not have been more pleasant and helpful. I wish I remembered the company to give them props. (10/10) Next, the assembly was scheduled through Go Configure. I read some pretty bad reviews online about them so I was worried. However, they scheduled the assembly a week or so after the gazebo was delivered and called me in advance to let me know a spot opened up earlier. I grabbed the opening. The folks at Go Configure were great with communication with both calls and texts. (10/10). The assembly team showed up as promised early on a Saturday. A team of 3 men were in the crew. They moved the enormous boxes to the assembly area from my garage and proceeded to unbox and set up. I looked out the window and in an hour or so the frame was up. In another hour a large portion of the roof was in place. In less than 4 hours they had completed the assembly. This team was outstanding. They were highly skilled and had done this many times before. I can’t say enough good things about the team and my experience with Go Configure. We are in the DFW area, so we may just have a really great territory for the company. I can’t say how it works in other regions but if you get the crew we got, it will be a flawless experience. They never stopped until the job was done and done way beyond my expectations. (10/10) We had a bunch of other expensive work done on our pool area before the gazebo went in but the amazing thing is that we are far more happy with the gazebo from Backyard Discovery than anything else done. I did put some pavers around the base supports to enhance the look a bit and installed a TV and ceiling fans but the gazebo construction made this a breeze. We get a ton of compliments and more importantly – a ton of use and enjoyment from the gazebo. Thank you Backyard Discovery and Go Configure for making this dream a reality. There is not one thing that could have been done better – truly flawless. By the way, this is not a paid review, we are a real family who randomly found Backyard Discovery online – I am as shocked as you may be that this went so perfectly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For the last 20 years we have bought been buying a new pop-up canopy every other year or so. We are so happy we decided to buy this 14‘ x 12‘ Barrington gazebo. We installed lights and a fan and couldn’t be happier with our gathering space. We highly recommend this product!

My gazebo was assembled this week. I absolutely love it. It provides a great hardcover roof and is the perfect accent for my backyard. It covers the maple tree stump that has a cement table top, we refer to it as our wine table. We enjoy relaxing and sitting outside around the table and now under the gazebo.

I purchased this gazebo, then realized we needed something bigger. So,instead of sending it back, we order a 2nd one. We placed them side by side. They look great! We’re very pleased and receive lots of compliments on them. Wish we had done this years ago! I do recommend hiring someone to assemble it.
