[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love spending time in the backyard, and my husband enjoys grilling year round. We had this product in mind when we had the concrete slab poured. Plans include eventually adding a hot tub. It has created a new space the whole family can enjoy. You definitely need at least 2 people to build it over several days. We had 4 at some points to keep things moving.

We purchased this gazebo 9 months ago and chose to put it up ourselves. Shortly after receiving it we had to move out of our home due to slab leak repairs in our kitchen. We were finally able to put it together and it was a fun and challenging project. The instructions are very clear, however you need to be somewhat mechanically inclined. It’s a beautiful gazebo and a wonderful addition to our backyard. Having electricity is a nice touch too. We plan to install a ceiling fan. We’re looking forward to many family gatherings and coffee chats.

This gazebo is built like a tank. Took about 12 hours to install, but definitely worth the effort. We now have a focal point in our backyard that everyone is asking about, and could not be more excited to use it all Summer! A bit bummed it is not pre-sealed but other than that no complaints.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice looking gazebo! I built the whole project myself using only the instructions supplied. I did download the video, but the instructions were good enough to complete the project. The project is forgiving enough that you don't have to be exact on your measurements or squareness, but the closet you are, the easier it will go together for you. I poured four concrete pads for the legs and got those nice and level and I made them 24 inches square and that have me plenty of room to make adjustments to the awareness of the base once I started the assembly of all the component pieces. I would recommend at least two helpers when putting the roof pieces up because they were too awkward for me to get them in place by myself. My only complaint is that one piece of structure was damaged by a tomorrow fork, but it turned out to be hidden once the project was completed and I didn't have to wait on getting a replacement part. Overall, great looking gazebo at a fair price! I'm glad it is finished and we can enjoy it. It took me about a month to finish it from sight prep to completion, but I did work alone on 95% of it, so a helper would save you a lot of time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This took my son and I 2.5 days to build. I had a concrete slab poured to place it on prior to the build. Follow the assembly instructions and you will be fine. We are really happy with the outcome. We live in a windy area and haven’t had any issues. Very sturdy

We love the Gazebo design. Everyone that sees it says the same thing! They love it. The electrical box makes it easy to add lighting for special occasions. Provide shade for a quick lunch at the picnic table or a comfortable place to cook outdoors in the rain. The quality and design is excellent. Would highly recommend.

The structure seems very strong and was straight forward to assemble. The roof panels were the most challenging to lift into position. This required enough people and planning to do safely. One design change is needed. The metal band that goes around at the bottom of the roof should go UNDER the roof pieces instead of over them as instructed, because it catches leaves and debris. My leaves caused visible stains on the wood. After it was too late I saw blogs mention how the instructions should be revised.

I purchased and built a 16x12 Barrington Gazebo this past summer and we have absolutely loved it! I would say that everyday that we had good weather, we were under it. We thought that even in a light rain with no wind, we could hang out, but unfortunately, without anything catching the rain dripping off the roof, it would hit the concrete and splatter back under the gazebo, making the practical usable area very small under the gazebo. Backyard Discovery does not offer a gutter system for their gazebos, and I really didn't like the look of the offerings from some of the other gazebo manufacturers out there. So, I designed my own. It was relatively simple, but would have been easier had I done it when first building the unit. First, I removed the trim pieces around the outside of the roof. Then I added 4" flashing under the roof panels, hanging down the facial board about 3". I had purchased steel J channel (brown, nearly the same color as the supplied trim), which I attached under the flashing with a stainless steel screw through the flashing and J channel into the facial board. I had to cut, bend, rivet, and caulk the corners of the J channel. I also had to make sure there was a slight slope from corner to corner so the water would flow correctly. On the lowest corner (opposite corner being the highest), I simply channeled the water out into the yard, instead of a downspout. Although a downspout would work also. Then I reinstalled the original trim with it also handing into the J channel. It really turned out great, looks great, and works perfectly. It handles light to medium rains easily, and allow us to hang out under the gazebo and stay dry. I think it would be great if Backyard Discovery would include this with the gazebo originally, or as an option. But until then, this is a great DIY for it.

We purchased our gazebo several months after moving into our new home. We had it professionally installed by a crew out of Columbus. They worked nonstop and knew what they were doing. Both the delivery and installation exceeded our expectations, every visitor has noted the quality of materials and workmanship. We added all of the extras to personalize our beautiful outdoor space and thoroughly enjoyed the comfort and joy it brought us this past spring and summer. We can’t wait for next spring!

Had this 20x12 Barrington installed over the summer. It looked like the most sturdy model I could find. I had it anchored to a concrete patio. It had zero damage through hurricane Helene in 2024 (Cat 4). The eye passed right over our location in Valdosta, GA. Extensive damage to many homes and businesses but this thing had no issues. Metal roofing was perfect with no swaying or leaning to the structure afterwards. I am very impressed.
