We bought our 16 x12 gazebo last spring. The installer showed up promptly and had the job done including clean up by 6pm the same day. We have had quite a few gatherings and everyone has been amazed with the look, quality and price of this product. And I love the fact that no Wisconsin weather can ever blow this to the ground like the last two home improvement store gazebos we purchased. We've recommended it to friends and two have purchased them so far! Thank you also for the military discount and all the years of enjoyment we will have. Thanks BD!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this gazebo about 5-6 months ago. I put it together myself with help from family. Be patient with the installation. Take your time and follow the directions exactly and things will work out well. The gazebo looks great and is sturdy. I've had it up now several months and it is hasn't moved at all and I live in a very windy area. This gazebo really solved a problem for us - we couldn't use our back patio in the summer because of the direct sunshine. Now we can use the patio year round.

We got delivery in October and enjoyed it from the first day it was completed. My son, son-in-law, and a friend put it together. The parts are well marked making the build much easier than expected. Cedar is good quality making the Back Yard Discovery Gazebo a beautiful addition to our property. The only drawback is winter! 🥶 Can’t wait until spring so we can get back to enjoying our Back Yard Discovery Gazebo!

Our Barrington 16x12 gazebo went up two weeks ago and WOW! We love sitting under our gazebo and chatting with friends and neighbors. It's the natural go to place now and everyone loves it. It looks great and is the best yard addition we've made in years!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I previously had no shade in my yard and in CA it gets so hot that my yard was unbearable in the summer. I could not be happier with my Gazebo purchase! It’s sturdy, looks fantastic, was fairly easy to put together, now we can actually sit outside and enjoy our yard without burning!

I bought this 16x12 Barrington for its style and guarantees with the wind and weight load. Most gazebos, I noticed my research, are only rated for half the wind and weight load of this one. It came palletized in six boxes. You need a large area to spread everything out to make sense of the parts. There were two pieces of wood that were damaged in the box, but the company immediately replaced same within a couple days without a problem. I did need two other people to attach the legs to the framework and again to install the roof panels. The 16-ft roof panels were a challenge to install because of their weight and awkwardness of its size. I did need a little help with the rubber mallet and wood clamps for this step. I did find it weird that you install the drip edge over the roof and not under. The rain does go down under the drip edge, over the cedar fascia, and onto the deck. I don't know how long this wood will last before rotting. They should figure out a different way to finish the roof with the water being diverted in a different way. Also, when I had the paver patio installed I gave the contractor the measurements to wear each post was going to be located. He then poured a concrete footing under the pavers and those pavers are also embedded in the concrete. I used 5-in concrete anchor screws to lock down the posts.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought it this spring. Assembled by myself in approx 14-16hrs. Very good quality, great assembly instructions. This gazebo has very high wind resistance, up to 100mph. In my area we have high winds and this is was very important to me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a couple of months ago and absolutely love it. It is just as described. I paid to have it assembled and that was worth it. It only took the guys like 3 hours, and it would have taken me like 3 days (or more) to put it together. Great for hanging out and watching the game. Plenty of space under it.

We invested in the 14x12 Barrington Gazebo to replace our lightweight metal and fabric gazebo. The kit came in good shape and all parts and pieces were accounted for. Amazingly, they actually give you a few spare parts in all the hardware bags, just in case!! All hardware is powder coated black and fits well together. The first problem I had was realizing that there were wooden parts INSIDE the 4 large legs. 2 of these pieces of wood were jammed in there pretty good so it took some ingenuity to pull them out. I didn't want to smash the poles down and damage them, so a ratchet strap hook was dropped down to try and pull them out. Don't start assembly unless ALL parts are accounted for!! Assembly of the rafters seemed to be the most time consuming and tricky part of this project. Some boards were twisted, and the holes didn't always line up as expected, which required some force to get it all square. 3 people are highly recommended to lift the rafters and roof frame up easily. Inserting the bolts for the rafters (steps 35 & 36) proved to be the most challenging as the holes didn't always line up. It took some persuasion, and even removing screws from steps 22B & 30B were needed to allow the rafters to flex in order to line these holes up correctly enough. Once tightened, I reinstalled these screws. The plastic coating on all the metal parts took forever to get off, often ripping off in small pieces, extremely annoying. Overall, this whole kit did come together nicely in the end. It looks great, and I have no doubt it will hold up well in our Northeast winters. I am happy with my purchase and building experience.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this over the summer and after a couple of days of work to install (rain delay) the end result is beautiful. It’s solidly built and stands up to high wind. The 12 v outlet allowed us to install a nice light fixture in the middle. I’m considering getting another in a smaller size for our pool area.
