[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This took my son and I 2.5 days to build. I had a concrete slab poured to place it on prior to the build. Follow the assembly instructions and you will be fine. We are really happy with the outcome. We live in a windy area and haven’t had any issues. Very sturdy

We lost our first gazebo (soft-top) to the harsh winters in the northeast, and knew we needed something better. Luckily, this seems to fit the bill nicely. Snow load ratings are one of the best around in the "kit" category, and the price was extremely reasonable.

Finally got my gazebo delivered. It’s been here 2 weeks now. Installer called last week said he would be here Thursday. Thursday call said he was sick be here Friday. Today he calls said can’t find a helper. Now it will be next Tuesday. Guess he already had Monday booked. Never use Sam’s club installers. Paid 800 to install it. Wish I had never bought from them.

I bought this last fall and I had the company install it. Which I’m glad I did. They were very efficient in getting the gazebo put up in a few hours. It would have taken me a couple days I’m sure. The gazebo is a perfect fit on my patio and it’s a solid piece. My back yard is hammered with wind and it has stood up to the test. As I got it in the end of summer early fall it did great with blocking the sun. I can’t wait to get back outside and just relax under it hen the weather breaks. I definitely recommend this gazebo.

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 was collected as part of a promotion.] This gazebo is used as an extension of our Florida home. It gives us plenty of room to be outdoors even in the brightest days. I had it screened in to keep the mosquitoes out and we use it almost every day. If you are putting this unit together, separate all of the parts and put them in order. It seems a little overwhelming but systematically it works. One mistake we made was to put the roof on by section. Do not do this. The whole roof needs to be set upon the frame for easiest installation. I wish we had taken a video of us two senior citizens putting this together in the Florida summer. He's 74 and I am 66, if we can do it so can you. Our son in law adjusted the roof mistake. And it does not leak or move even in the heaviest coastal winds. In the winter I will be enclosing it and using it for a green house.

We got ours about 5 months ago and our whole backyard is transformed.! We have an outdoor kitchen under the gazebo and have been using it non-stop! The cypress is so pretty and all of the little details make it worth every penny. We love this gazebo and highly recommend it!

Just purchased a 12' x 14' Barrington gazebo and used two friends to help me assemble it. The job only took 1 1/2 days. All components were per the item list. The assembly went extremely as all holes lined up perfectly. The only thing is that I would have preferred a darker cedar color. I will attempt to stain it next week.

I’m so thrilled with my new gazebo! So much better now that we have great shade to make the yard more comfortable! I paid someone to build it and he did a great job, and it did take some time to grade it properly, pour thr concrete and anchor everything!

Overall a very quality product. The assembly time in some of the reviews I read were very aggressive. Pros: Quality wood and hardware. The instructions were great, very detailed and offered many good guides throughout the assembly. Cons: I was missing three boards, all rafters. Two of the rafters were detailed with miter cuts and a rabbit. I am a retired carpenter so instead of waiting for who knows how long to get these, I fabricated these. I only had one other helper, also a retired carpenter. The panel assembly took the longest. I had two other friends help in raising and fastening the roof panels. I still gave it a 4 star because it looks great, is of high quality and the packaging was good. Expect to spend a couple of hours peeling off the protective wrap off the roof panels and drip edges.
