We purchased this gazebo 9 months ago and chose to put it up ourselves. Shortly after receiving it we had to move out of our home due to slab leak repairs in our kitchen. We were finally able to put it together and it was a fun and challenging project. The instructions are very clear, however you need to be somewhat mechanically inclined. It’s a beautiful gazebo and a wonderful addition to our backyard. Having electricity is a nice touch too. We plan to install a ceiling fan. We’re looking forward to many family gatherings and coffee chats.

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.

We bought this gazebo to provide some much-needed shade for poolside seating. Our patio is in full sun all day and we decided on the 16x12 Barrington to give us the largest seating area that fit the space. We have a huge patio set underneath it where it feels 10 degrees cooler on the hottest days. I built this myself, and only required help at 2 points in the build. I needed help at the beginning to get the posts stood up and then again at the end to get the roof structure hoisted and installed. Setting up the post sections were pretty simple and 2 helpers made that an easy task. Setting up the roof panels was definitely more complicated, the smaller 12' sections weren't too bad with 2 helpers and a few clamps. The 16' roof sections were a bear, 3 helpers (4 ladders) were needed - one at each post, one in the center of the posts and me up at the peak. Also needed 4 clamps once in position and then having the right hardware and tools ready was necessary. I personally wouldn't try it with less than 4 people due to the safety risk. Everything else about the installation went exactly according to the manual. Everything was cut, pre-drilled and lined up without any issues. Everything squared up pretty easily and the hardware was pretty high quality, and you get extra of everything because inevitably you will lose or strip some of the hardware. Installing the posts anchor bolts into my patio were probably the hardest part. I used a hammer drill with a carbide bit and still some of the anchor bolts snapped. I went out and bought some blue tapcons and painted them black after installing. All in all, for the price this is probably the nicest Gazebo on the market. The snow and wind ratings are what sold me and I'm happy in the decision. I would have liked the choice of a darker stain on the wood, but when it comes to re-stain I will go darker. Otherwise we love it. I had to contact customer support for a question on a Sunday, and they were available on chat and quickly helped me resolve it. Someone even ran out to check one they had pre-built on site to confirm a measurement question. Really appreciate that!!

I had been searching for a gazebo to fit out poured patio and this one fit the bill. It was installed in October and I had wondered how it would handle an Iowa winter. Heavy snow, winds, sleet and everything in-between this structure held up. The gazebo is very well constructed and looks great. This is a low-maintenance solution to providing shade and definitely improves the aesthetics of the back of our house.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After years of not enjoying our porch because of the heat, this Gazebo has made all the difference in our outdoor time. It is not only well made, but is beautiful. We have added. TV, lights and an outdoor fan. Our back porch has become a whole new “ room” to enjoy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After careful deliberation and having helped my neighbor erect an identical product over the course of a weekend, we were extremely impressed with the quality, speed, and customer service provided by this group. Well worth the fee!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I assembled this gazebo myself. It took me about 5 days to do it. Everything was included and the instructions were very clear. It is as beautiful in real life as it looks in the pictures. I would buy this again if I had an application for it.

This gazebo is very nice when complete. We were concerned with space and the level of our concrete patio since we have a pool and the concrete slopes so we opted to put it together ourselves. Oh my.... that was a project and there was much cussing. But the finished product is absolutely worth it. We've installed a ceiling fan and string lights. We will be installing one of backyard disvovery's grill gazebos that matches the Cordova as soon as the slab is ready!

This is a great addition to my backyard. I call it my cook station. It has been so nice to be able to grill after sundown and on those rainy days. That said. This Gazebo is very well made and should last for many years. The only thing that would make it perfect is a gutter system.

I received this a week ago. Nearly have it complete. Directions pretty good. Pretty apprehensive about weather asm. parts would fit. Everything does, amazing with the amount of predrilled holes all being right on. Only issue was 2 roof rafters on 14" side had purlin holes off location, wasn't a big deal. Can't wait to start using.
