shipping went well they were able to unload the gazebo onto my trailer so I could take it to my cottage to put it up. For the most part the instructions for assembly were clear with a couple of minor exceptions. It did take two of us way more than the 12 hours stated in the directions (closer to 30 hours) but it went quicker as time went on. Overall a good experience to build and it looks great finished.

This gazebo is well built. The instructions are fairly easy to understand. There is also an app that walks you through, literally every step. I had one question so I called the number on the box. The call was answered right away by an English speaking man that actually sounded like he had put one together before. I almost knocked off one star due to the fact it takes way longer than 10 hours. We had 25 (ish) hours into it. The need for a third person didn't arrive until it was time to put on the roof panels. We absolutely would recommend this gazebo. Not sure what the winter will bring?

The build quality is great, instructions great, the ‘out of the box’ installers.. not so great. It took them 2 days and I had to help otherwise things would have been skipped or missed. The individual roof panels have a cap edge that that they would have been forgotten which would have been a nightmare as when the heavy roof panels are in place another slide on piece covers the 2 adjoining cap pieces. As it was, they messed up one cap edge by not screwing it in the middle -you could see the sky looking up from under the gazebo- so I had to lean in on the roof and reach in to add a couple screws so the covering piece would slide on. They forgot to install 2 covering boards on the 16’ sides, which I had to add.. they drilled 1/4” holes for 1/4” tapcons meaning they had no holding power (you could unscrew them from the concrete by hand) so I had to buy 5/16” tapcons for the 1/4” holes. A few days after they left, I added 4-5 bolts they missed.. For the installed cost, you’d expect more tech know-how than the installers I got. Love the gazebo, it was worth every penny and structurally very impressive but the installers….

The gazebo arrived in 6 large boxes. I put it togther with my two boys; 8 and 10. I would recommend having a couple adults to assist. You'll definitely need 3 adults to install the roof panels. Now that it's installed, we are hoping for years of enjoyment. So far, so good!

Bought this item to put up next to my camp. Seems very sturdy and looks fabulous. We get a lot of wind next to the water so we bought it for the wind rating. Directions were not so were good. The blue film on all the metal pieces was a nightmare to peel off. I think that’s what took us the longest peeling off the blue film. Overall after many hours of construction I am very happy with my purchase. The price was right and all the pieces were cut to size already.

Looks great when finished! Not sure how people are putting this together with just two. Two of us were able to get the posts up and connected, but when it came to the roof, we needed at least three so that two could lift the 14' panel on and one to bolt in place. Definitely recommend three overall.

We just finished with the Barrington kit. It took 3 of us to complete the project but it was well worth it. The structure is solid and looks great. Several neighbors have seen it now and they all rave about our new Cabana. Thank you for making such a great product. Dave O. Bradenton Florida

We got our 14x12 Barrington gazebo installed on our patio today…we watched as it was being built by two experienced Go-Configure installers….The attention to detail on this gazebo is impressive…The installers did a great job. We are thoroughly satisfied with our decision to buy this Backyard Discovery gazebo. We have string lights going up in it in a couple days!

We really love our Gazebo. I can't say there weren't a few challenges putting it all together but having a construction background did help. A few pieces came in damaged and customer service was incredible and got the replacement parts to us very quickly.

Started a few months ago on building my a little oasis in my backyard. An extension of my house! Searched and researched so many Gazebos and finally decided on this brand. Could not be anymore happy with the look and quality. Took longer to put together so I would recommend using the installers. Well worth the money.
