[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this Gazebo couple months ago and we just installed it on our new pool patio. I went with Backyard after lots of research between brands and reviews. My friend had another brand and it caused him all kinds of problems to put together. I hired a buddy that has been a contractor for over 20 years. He has put together and setup other brands himself before ours and they did not go up as well as this one did. The fit and finish in his mind was fantastic. It took 2-3 people (definitely recommend) a solid 1-1/2 days to build it taking our time and verifying everything before just assuming we knew. Instructions were spot on. My buddy said it was with out a doubt the best pre-made gazebo he has ever put together besides building one himself. He said he would recommend this brand 100% unless the customer needs something specific built. It looks amazing and we cannot thank Backyard enough.

Glad we read all the reviews and advice. It all came in handy! It took my husband and I longer than some but we took our time. We had every piece and extra. Hanging the roof was definitely a 3-4 person job because it was heavy. The only hiccup was putting it close against the house but we worked it out. It’s a quality gazebo and hopefully well built by us.

Love my gazebo (totally transformed my space). A few pieces of wood came warped and the company sent new ones right away. They are open on the weekends which is really nice. I would recommend putting doing the roof slightly different than the instructions....the instructions say the grooves should go on top of the border at the bottom (that made the wood wet so I put the border on the bottom and no water touches the wood when it rains).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought a month ago amazingly it was still standing after the storm Everything was scattered all over /patio furniture, I’m so happy that backyard discovery was the only sign shining in the dark yard and was still standing my neighbors couldn’t wait to ask me where did I get it I’m truly impressed even my umbrella was knocked over 80lbs

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had spent years running out during high winds or thunder storms, climbing on a ladder to pull the cover off my old lightweight patio gazebo. I desperately wanted to upgrade but the cost of building my own was crazy expensive. Then comes the Cordova! What a huge upgrade! Unit looks great even like I built it myself (well I did!). It was a lot of work to build but I’m very happy with the outcome. Be sure to give yourself time to build it. It does take time and extra help. Don’t rush and layout all of the parts. You’ll need extra help lifting the roof panels into place. They are not light. Plan ahead, take your time and it will be well worth the effort. They also gave one or two extra of every fastener. No missing parts! That all said, I did have a number of chipped or warped boards. Careful planning allowed me to cover or straighten most of them. Backyard Discovery did offer to send me extra stain (which was nice!) but haven’t seen it yet. Will be adding my own electrical and ceiling fan in the next week. Just in time to enjoy the summer!

68 year old couple with right tools and meticulous attention to the instructions completed construction of our 14X12 gazebo in 15 hours working time. Print and internet directions were both helpful. 900 lb project came in 6 boxes, so tip the delivery guys extra to place the boxes close to the construction site! We only had one significant boo boo that required retracing a step to correct (and a few mild swear words helped). I am amazed how square the gazebo was during construction; this is paramount in achieving a good result for all the components to fit together. Highly recommend two cordless drills/drivers, two ladders, and good neighbors to help the two times we needed to lift panels of the roof onto the frame. We never ran out of pieces/parts as most bags were overfilled with components, however this led to sometimes wondering if we missed a step. Overall, a good experience and great result. Although, peeling the protective plastic film from the trim pieces was a pain and took a full hour to achieve. We also spent an hour inventorying everything due to wife's accounting background (and found everything was present). I highly recommend this company and this particular project.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Backyard Discovery Cordova Gazebo completely transformed our deck into a beautiful, comfortable and desirable outdoor oasis. Now our deck is covered and protected from the elements! This season, we have been able to utilize our deck every day. The gazebo has added an additional room to our home for the warmer months. We couldn’t be happier with our purchase.

Our recent purchase of this gazebo has made the perfect addition to our patio. It has brought us from inside to the great outdoors more than before we had it. Our friends and neighbors comment on how great it looks. It’s the best addition to our home. We added lights for evenings and WOW it makes the perfect place to sit outside at night with friends. We love it! My husband and I wished we did it sooner. Great addition to our home!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this kit and love it. Excellent instructions and online video support. Each piece of the construction materials was clearly marked and easily identified. One small bent item was replaced by the manufacturer within two day. So no delay in construction. Can easily be constructed by the do it yourselfer.
