The directions are absolute crap and the wood is super fragile. Had a long pice standing against the pool deck, it slipped, fell over and snapped in half. Again, this product is crap.

Gazebo is up and looking good. I did most of the assembly myself with some help from my daughters. It went together smoothly. I did have to enlist my neighbors to help put the roof panels on.

I bought this 14X10 Barrington gazebo about 1 month ago. It was delivered in excellent condition. I had 1 roof corner ridge cap that was bent and did not realize it until I came to that instruction since it was wrapped in plastic and stacked. However, I put that ridge cap in the back of the gazebo so it can't be seen. The gazebo went together very well. The cedar was all in very good condition and all the holes were in the right places. The roof was the biggest challenge. I put the roof sections up with the help of my wife and daughter. My biggest challenge was the ridge cap channel. The roof sections did not come together like it should have for smooth insertion of the ridge cap channel. One roof section is higher than the other and the channel could not be properly installed - it comes out on one side about half way up the roof so, I added some extra screws to make it hopefully stay. I would have given it a 5 star if the roof ridge channel went smoother. I placed this gazebo on 4 cement pads that all went 45 inches deep beyond frost line. I sealed the gazebo with oil based sealer which went on very nicely.

[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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Great Gazebo, and went together great. I had a couple damaged pieces from shipment, and called customer service, got someone I could understand, and she had my replacement parts shipped out same day no questions asked. Very impressed and will recommend backyard discovery to anyone i know looking for a Gazebo!

I just finished building the gazebo. All the parts (wood & metal) arrived undamaged then inventoried. Everything was there. My 10' x 10' gazebo is sturdy and beautiful. The company ensured that all the material is top grade and built to last. I'm more than happy that I chose Backyard Discovery and their gazebo. No regrets. One suggestion - the four ridge caps slide up, so ensure that there are no obstructions (e.g., trees, buildings, etc.) that would block their initial installations.
