The instructions were very easy to follow, with the app it makes it very easy to see how everything is supposed to be. It was very convinient to have extras for every hardware piece that was included. I would recommend this product and the use of the BILT app to go along with it.

The gazebo is beautiful. I have received a lot of compliments on it. The built in power strip is a great feature. It has held up through some pretty intense storms so far. The dimensions do make it difficult to find netting to go around it. I was trying to find something to keep mosquitos out but no luck. I did purchase set up with the gazebo and that was a real pain. It took quite a long time to get someone out and I had to call back and forth several times with the company they use. If you can put it up yourself or know of a company who can I would use them instead. I was pretty frustrated with that situation. My gazebo sat in boxes for at least a month after having it delivered because they couldn’t get anyone out to set it up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We install our 16x12 Barrington gazebo on a deck next to our seasonal campsite at the beach. The quality of the backyard Barrington impressed us so much that we have plans purchasing a second for our home.

Let's be honest during this review. You will go to YouTube for advice, you will probably reach out to the vendor where the product was purchased, BUT this will be an EXTREMELY HONEST but brief review (from my personal experience). 1. Pleaseeeeeeee, have at LEAST (3) people to help if you opt to DIY. As an FYI, my husband only had myself (and the use of (3+) ladders) 2. Take your time, and don't skip steps. 3. Once completed... take the time to ENJOY your new space! We celebrated immediately with wine and cocktails. :) 4. This gazebo is BEAUTIFUL! It has changed the whole dynamic of your backyard. Even our neighbor (from across the street) had to tell us how nice it is! We are VERY HAPPY with this gazebo!

This gazebo is well engineered and awesome for our patio in Florida. There are a lot of parts and can be a bit overwhelming at the beginning but follow the instructions to the tee and it all comes together nicely. Allow plenty of room to work and put all your hardware on a big table. Being in Florida I did add additional support by installing 4x4x8 post with 30" in concrete and used 5" lag bolts at the bottom and at 5' high.

I bought the Cordova 14x10 about a month back. My skills are electronic...I'm a handyman, but not a skilled carpenter. What was really apparent was this is a USA MADE product and the documentation was, too. It was hands down the best assembly document I've ever seen for any product. Bought it direct from Backyard Discovery...price better than other kits out there and it was perfect for my 14x12 patio (with 2' roof overhang). Some things that stood in my way of completion...1 - a lot of rainy days before I could start...2 - given the time lapse, discovered just a few slightly warped rafter boards along the way...totally useable...missing one upper post bolt and one pair of roof panel brackets for the 14' sections. Now, here's where I'll give HUGE kudos to their support. The first call was for the upper bolt missing. Not a deal breaker for time. I called and I got it two days later. However, closing in on roof panel completion...I needed the missing roof brackets and there was a threat of heavy rain in two days. The standard response would get it to me in 2-3 days. I replied that it would set me back a week due to rain...even willing to pay extra for overnight. Well...the person emailed the warehouse/manufacturing location...I had one in my hands the next day...no extra charge! THAT was service! The impressive part? Everything lined up well (I did need to drill a few offset pilot holes ion the perluns due to a few warped rafter boards...but all is just fine!). Now, at 63, I assembled all of it myself and some help with my sister-in-law (grabbing parts, holding a tape measure and moving roof panels). It took me longer than most due to high humidity an upper 80's to upper 90's heat & heavy humidity. (Not to mention rain delays.) I had a good friend and my son to help hoist the roof panels. You can raise panels with two, but I highly recommend three for the 14' sections. Here's a couple hints: Placing close to your home...keep in mind that you may not be able to push the metal roof lock-in trim from the bottom on the house-side. So...I did the two small 10' panel raises first...then, the 14' section closest to the house. Couple that with the fact that I did not install the roof hip until just before installing the last panel so it wouldn't chance getting battered moving panels into place -and- I installed the house-side metal roof panel joiner from the top-side down because the 'house got in the way being so close to it. After that, we installed the last panel...loosely bolted...then tightened in the order dictated by the manual. One more issue...tightening the roof panels. Well, this brought in the metal roof channels really close where the roof panels meet on the diagonals. So close that the metal joining strips would tend to pop out sliding them up. What to do? Well, they're already bent at an angle along the ridge going up...all I had to do was squeeze them tighter working my way up. It held really well. After completing it...we love it! (Just finished today.) Only question in my mind is the flashing at the bottom of the panels. Instructions say to install the metal panels flush to the bottom. Then, the flashing trim over the top and down. But, won't that be conducive to water rolling along the side of the roof panel lower frame? I'll be installing gutters on this, but that fact has me perplexed a bit. I'll figure it out...or, if someone has their own solution, please respond. Overall, I'll still give this a 5 based on how impressive the instructions were, accuracy of of hole & pilot locations and the beauty of it installed. Installing in the heat was taxing, but well worth the savings...even at my age! ;)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought a month ago amazingly it was still standing after the storm Everything was scattered all over /patio furniture, I’m so happy that backyard discovery was the only sign shining in the dark yard and was still standing my neighbors couldn’t wait to ask me where did I get it I’m truly impressed even my umbrella was knocked over 80lbs

So I will start with this review in regards to our first gazebo. The first one we put it together, it took about a day or so, definitely is do able with 2 people that have very little experience. I absolutely loved it we had the lights around the inside carpet down it definitely set the tone for a relaxing backyard. But, I skipped a step and own 100 percent of this. I failed to secure this monster gazebo into my stamped concrete patio and it was a costly mistake. With that being said, we loved it so much that I of course had to purchase another one. Same size, same location. The second one we put up I had paid for the company to install it. This was money WELL spent. This team of guys came in and blasted this thing up in about 5 hours. The one thing the installation company doesn’t do is secure it to the patio. (WHICH IMMEDIATELY DID). So this summer we look forward to enjoying this. I can’t stress it enough since I have purchased 2, well worth it!!

Well crafted design and substantial construction. No missing parts. In fact they even included extra hardware as well as most driver bits required. Was time consuming since built this by myself with the exception of help to get completed roof panels in place but came out beautifully. Would have liked to have had dimensions for securing the roof panel pieces but taking your time to line up the pre drilled holes will get you square.

Bought the gazebo last spring and enjoyed it all summer. Fast forward to spring 2025 and a EF2s tornado came through. Uprooted all our large oak and hickory trees but our gazebo stood tall and strong. Not a scratch. I can't reccommend this product enough.
