[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was fairly easy to put together by myself. I needed help with the roof. This company thinks of everything, I love that there were extra screws as well. The cedar is nice touch and the ceiling is lofted a bit. I love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very Happy with Gazebo looks sharp and solid, Make sure you have plenty of help and lots of free time as this was difficult to put together with 2 people. In retrospect, I wish I hired someone to assemble. However love my gazebo

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought it and had it installed. After watching the guys put it up, that was money well spent. We love the extra room it provides with cover, and the dogs and our cat who believes he is a dog spends many hours there.

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!

Nice precut unit they have it figured out very well, if you build it yourself pay a lot of attention to the instruction as they are written. When they show you those high lighted instruction in red don't blow them off it will hurt you at the final step. Customer service was very helpful had a few pieces that had warps and they sent new ones right away. We bought a 12x20 and it has a lot of parts and big panels so have at least 3 to 4 people it sure makes it easy. We give it a 4 star because they have no 4.5 can't give it a 5 some of the instruction can be a little bit of a head scratcher and the film on the trim is super hard to get off so start early on working it off. All in all very happy with Gazebo it will surely be enjoyed by the family, material is good quality and packaging was very professional.

I had an aluminun and steel gazebo for 15 years. The roof leaked, the poles were splitting and it needed to be replaced. I purchased this with assembly and am very pleased. The unit is super sturdy, does not leak. It has withstood several windstorms with 40 to 70 MPH wind gusts. We had a heavy snowfall over the winter and it did not bend the roof panels and it still does not leak. The assembly was worth it and well built

This review is overdue by a month but I wanted to wait until I had the some other work around the pool area completed before I posted photos. Before I start, a local builder quoted me over $35K for a gazebo build – with a start date of fall of 2023. I searched online and Backyard Discovery had some great looking products. We selected the 16x12 Barrington Gazebo. First, the online purchasing experience easy and intuitive. (10/10) I selected the assembly option which is performed by a company called Go Configure (more on that later). Communication from Backyard Discovery was great and they were very clear and concise on delivery dates. (10/10) The actual delivery was performed exactly as promised and they even placed the boxes in my garage for safekeeping. The boxes are huge so unless you have helpers, I recommend you clear a space in your garage or other covered area in advance of delivery and have them put it there for you (if you can). Our driver was awesome and called in advance of delivery and then could not have been more pleasant and helpful. I wish I remembered the company to give them props. (10/10) Next, the assembly was scheduled through Go Configure. I read some pretty bad reviews online about them so I was worried. However, they scheduled the assembly a week or so after the gazebo was delivered and called me in advance to let me know a spot opened up earlier. I grabbed the opening. The folks at Go Configure were great with communication with both calls and texts. (10/10). The assembly team showed up as promised early on a Saturday. A team of 3 men were in the crew. They moved the enormous boxes to the assembly area from my garage and proceeded to unbox and set up. I looked out the window and in an hour or so the frame was up. In another hour a large portion of the roof was in place. In less than 4 hours they had completed the assembly. This team was outstanding. They were highly skilled and had done this many times before. I can’t say enough good things about the team and my experience with Go Configure. We are in the DFW area, so we may just have a really great territory for the company. I can’t say how it works in other regions but if you get the crew we got, it will be a flawless experience. They never stopped until the job was done and done way beyond my expectations. (10/10) We had a bunch of other expensive work done on our pool area before the gazebo went in but the amazing thing is that we are far more happy with the gazebo from Backyard Discovery than anything else done. I did put some pavers around the base supports to enhance the look a bit and installed a TV and ceiling fans but the gazebo construction made this a breeze. We get a ton of compliments and more importantly – a ton of use and enjoyment from the gazebo. Thank you Backyard Discovery and Go Configure for making this dream a reality. There is not one thing that could have been done better – truly flawless. By the way, this is not a paid review, we are a real family who randomly found Backyard Discovery online – I am as shocked as you may be that this went so perfectly.

I just finished assembling this gazebo last weekend. I agree with the other points people have said in these reviews. The 10hr assembly is definitely not realistic unless you have two people experienced with this particular gazebo. I'm 53yrs and it took me 22hrs.. Plus another 6hrs combined from another person who helped me the 1st day and 2 more for about an hour to get the roof panels in place. Biggest advice... Pick the bilt app Or the written directions (they are slightly different) and follow it carefully! Once the roof panels are in place and secured by the 1st bolts it's easy to get ahead of yourself seeing what comes next and not look closely at directions. I was missing one piece from one of the 10ft "A" frame pieces (which backyard discovery shipped me 2day express with no problem or hassle) So we put up the other 3 roof panels and secured them. When we finally put 4th and final roof panel in to place I ended up having to loosen almost all the bolts to the other panels and nudge over panels to get all the holes to align... The manuals clearly say do not tighten until they are all in place and bolts started. So again.. It's easy to get ahead of yourself, don't skip something thinking you can come back to it, it's in that order for a reason. Also.. Pay attention to when you have to drill pilot holes! The pieces come with probably 95% of the pilot holes already there for you, but then the instructions will say fasten such and such drilling a pilot hole.. And if you read over it quickly you can think the pilot hole is already there.. Happened to me and wood started to split so backed out thinking I was using wrong screw,... Looked at instructions more carefully, and was like oh... I was supposed to drill pilot hole. Other than that it was pretty straight forward, a couple of the wooden roof cross pieces were warped making holes kind of a pain to align but nothing too bad. I definitely recommend taking the 2-3 hrs before you start and unboxing everything and sorting it, put bags of screws /bolts and washers in numerical order so they're easy to find, and be careful tearing open the bags, don't destroy the markings on the bag identifying what part# they are.. Some washers you'll use a lot of.. Then come back to them hours later and need more of the same part #. Raising the roof panels instead of putting a person on ladder in the middle we had person stand on ground, they used a 2x4 about 6 feet long as a pole to help guide peak of roof panel in place under roof cap, just had to remind them don't put 2x4 against sheet metal roof... Keep it on one of the cross wood frame pieces, it worked well. Bolted all together and tightened down its a very strong structure. It should last a long time and withstand the changes in weather here in Wisconsin and occasional heavy snowfalls.

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!

we bought this as a replacement for an open roofed version of one of your pergolas. the instructions were OK...not great but Ok. you will need at least 2 people for parts buildiong then 3 or 4 stronger people for the roof attachment portion. overall we love it and would recommend it
