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.

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!

Follow the instructions very carefully. Have all required tools and an organized assembly area. Have at least 3 adults for placing roofing sections in place. The gazebo is awesome. We have had it up for a week and spend every night enjoying our new peaceful place in our backyard. I highly recommend this product.

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.

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.

So glad we purchased this gazebo. It was a challenge to assemble but everything was clear between the paper instructions and the Bilt app. Using both helped us confirm a few tricky assemblies with the roof panels. We did it with two people until the roof panels went up. Four is just right. Having several ladders was ideal. Best to watch the video and sort out the hardware and lumber by number before you plan to do the build. It turned out beautiful, smells wonderfully of cedar, and we began using it immediately. Two trim pieces had some plastic packing melted on them that we couldn’t remove. I emailed customer service and they were replaced immediately. Shipped within days. No regrets here. Highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] High quality product,excellent instructions,ease of assembly. All holes lined up with the use of Phillips screwdrivers for the roof sections then insertion of bolts were easier. The roof sections were raised and balanced on a 10 foot step ladder. The final position was done rope to raise the sections to the ridge line.

All the boxes came very quickly and had no damage. Assembly was straight forward and the instructions were clear. I had one issue and Backyard sent a new part within 3 days,. Great customer service! The metal roof panels were slightly bigger than the instructions stated, but everything went together well. Pay attention to the instructions that say you need 3 people for lifting up the roof. The gazebo looks beautiful!

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?

Would have been a five except for installation part. Got a refund, which was prompt, due to problems in dealing with the 3rd party company. The quality of the gazebo is excellent but expect a solid weekend to put it together with 3 people. Parts are bagged according to steps and the instructions are clear and detailed. Follow the directions and take your time and you will have a really nice structure to be proud of. Be sure to note that the gazebo comes stained but lacking a preservative coating. I went with a darker stain/preservative and it looks great! So bottom line is I would buy again.
