We absolutely love our new cedar gazebo! It’s not only beautiful, but also incredibly sturdy. The natural wood grain of the cedar gives it a timeless look that blends perfectly with our backyard. You can tell it’s built to last, with solid construction that holds up well in various weather conditions. It’s become a stunning focal point of our outdoor space, and we couldn’t be happier with the quality and craftsmanship. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a durable and attractive addition to their home!

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!!

We bought this gazebo last summer and it made it through a Wisconsin winter with no problems. Added some lights and a ceiling fan and it is our favorite spot to hang out. Assembly was a bit of a project and required 2 people but it was no more than expected given the size and weight of the gazebo. All pieces were accounted for and it went together quickly. I have no doubt this gazebo is going to last us years. I can't wait to finish the deck and railings in the same beautiful dark walnut stain, which is fairly easy to match.

It took my wife and I 5 weeks to assemble, but we worked on it a leisurely pace. It's a good bit of work to put together but it came out really nice. Power tools are HIGHLY recommended, and you have to use your common sense as the instructions are a little fuzzy in certain steps. But overall a good experience and the end product is great/

We bought this for shade around the pool. The order took months and we had to contact Sam’s to find out when it would be delivered as the time allocated on the website was not accurate. We were told they would contact us to deliver, yet one day we arrived home to find it all over our lawn in the pouring rain. When we assembled this structure though, the directions were good and the structure seems durable…

Our daughter and grandson helped build it, along with a few extras to help lift the roof sections. It replaced a canvas topped gazebo that flapped constantly in the wind. We added lights for evening enjoyment, and are looking forward to a relaxing time this summer.

Had this 20x12 Barrington installed over the summer. It looked like the most sturdy model I could find. I had it anchored to a concrete patio. It had zero damage through hurricane Helene in 2024 (Cat 4). The eye passed right over our location in Valdosta, GA. Extensive damage to many homes and businesses but this thing had no issues. Metal roofing was perfect with no swaying or leaning to the structure afterwards. I am very impressed.

I originally gave a very poor review of this gazebo. Upon completion I'll bump it up to 3 stars. It does look nice once assembled. Assembly is a pain especially considering extra assembly is required to save them on shipping costs. Removing blue stickers from metal was a nightmare and the large amount of 1" lumber warped in the heat. All in all assembly wasn't the worst and it looks nice.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a complicated build. Be sure you have friends and/or family to help. Take the time to label all parts and it is helpful to put all hardware in separate containers that are clearly marked. You will need minimum of 3 and better to have 4 people to place the roof sections. Have quick clamps ready. There are several sub assemblies that can be done ahead of time to expedite the process (14’ beam and top frame assemblies).

We bought this in the spring to replace an old gazebo. My husband and I put it together in about 2 1/2 days. We took our time and had only some difficulty when putting some of the pieces up at the end (needed an extra hand from another person). It's a great gazebo - very happy with our purchase.
