Beautiful gazebo, sturdy, and will last forever! I love sitting under it in the rain with our gas firepit. My husband, son and I assembled it in 2 days. We are pros now and could assemble them much faster now that we know what we are doing. LOL Follow the directions to the tee as far as measurements when assembling the roof to make sure it is square. All the holes lined up, the pieces were marked. The one thing I would have liked is a touch up pen. Some of the wood was scratched and the really light color shows through under the roof- would be nice to cover those up. You need an impact drill for concrete slab and a tall ladder at minimum. We used a scaffold which was amazingly helpful for all aspects of assembly- instead of moving a ladder around all the time. The metal roof drains under the trim, though, which I thought was weird- to have it all go down metal, then under a metal piece that is placed over the wood edges. It seems like that might wear own the wood all around the roof.

Well built. Only mistakes were ones I made. If you’re having trouble fitting boards review the build because you probably have the wrong board in the wrong place. Looks great and definitely keeps the temp down. Plan on spending more time outdoors this summer. The sun gets really hot here in Texas. Very happy. Customer service was great

Excellent quality and service. Kit came in on time and went together with ease. Lots of detail to parts alignment and manufacturing. We had one roofing board with a broken lap joint that Backyard Discovery promptly replaced (the process to order replacement parts was seamless). Very happy with the purchase and look forward to ordering future Backyard Discovery parts. Swing Set is next :)

I'm really happy with the gazebo. I hired a friend to put it together. Kudos to any homeowners who can do the installation themselves for the gazebo. Probably pergolas are easier. It looks so nice. I look forward to going outside each day to spend time sitting in it.

We love this gazebo! The construction is beautiful and provides a great little space for family conversations and relaxation. We have spent every spare moment under in our new patio area. No regrets here! I keep joking with my husband that we don’t need vacations anymore because the most relaxing vacation is in our own backyard!

The gazebo came on time and the boxes were in perfect condition. We ultimately decided to use an outside installation company after realizing the roof was more complex and heavier to build than we first anticipated. We are thrilled with the completed project though we continue to look for ways to add mosquito netting.

My 20x12 Barrington has just been installed by Backyard Discovery. It is gorgeous and heavy duty. I was concerned about hurricanes as I live in Florida, but it seems very sturdy. There were 3 extra costs I didn't expect. It really should be stained before it is installed and is not included, anchoring it is an extra charge, and installation of the screen kit is extra. So be aware of all costs before you start. It is a huge job to install it so I am glad we didn't do it ourselves.

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

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!

I was attracted to this 14x12 Barrington gazebo because of its wind rating, as I live close to the water in FL and tropical storms are always a risk. The structure is very robust. Had some concerns about potential for leakage from the ridge cap but after two heavy rains, there were no leaks. Very happy with physical appearance, would purchase it again over 3 other brands considered. .
