We just had this installed today and are extremely happy with it! I'm glad we paid for assembly as it comes in so many pieces. The entire process was so good - notifications about delivery dates and setting up the installation date. The installers were incredible and did an outstanding job. We couldn't be happier and would highly recommend (in the Los Angeles area - can't speak about installers elsewhere).

We put this together with the help of some friends and couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. We treated the wood prior also to withstand the hot sun that beats on our backyard majority of the day. On year two of having it up and looks just as beautiful as the day it went up. Now to finish the rest and we can fully enjoy our summer nights!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is our second gazebo purchase because we bought one for our previous home and it was so perfect that we added one to our new home. The kits are easy to assemble and are very durable which makes them an affordable option for backyard shade and protection for patio furniture. With the gazebo, we are able to spend so much more time outside!

I put almost all of this together by myself (54 yrs old), just putting the sections together over about 3 nights, then I assembled it all by myself on a Saturday, I did have to recruit help at the end, to assist in putting the roof sections on, the roof actually needs 3 people, we managed to do it with 2, the roof is definitely the hardest part of the assembly, but I highly suggest having help, be prepared it's not a 1 day simple project, it is fairly easy to assemble, it's just time consuming. if you want something that looks great and is sturdy, I highly recommend this gazebo.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although the instructions were difficult to understand for the guys we hired to put the gazebo together, the finished product looks great on our deck and has provided wonderful protection from the rain and sun

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We added this to our pool area as more of a place to sit out and enjoy when the weather got cooler. We've slept under it and sat out there when it's rained. We just love the quality and the value it's added to our home.

We purchased our Cordova 14X10 Gazeebo in July and had it installed on our pool deck on four foot deep concrete footers. One of the main reasons we went with Backyard Discovery was the ability for the structure to withstand heavy winds. I live in the Tampa area and we just went through Hurricane Milton last night. I had major concerns about the metal roof and when I woke up this morning, the entire structure was completely intact. Apart from the being a beautiful structure, it’s amazing to see that it withstood 90 mph gusts and sustained winds of 75 mph for several hours. If you want a well built and beautiful pavilion, I’d highly recommend Backyard Discovery. We couldn’t be more pleased.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased my gazebo 5 months ago and we LOVE IT!! We have enjoyed several backyard parties and family gatherings underneath our gazebo. We love the post with the electrical and USB connections which makes it convenient to enjoy music, and charge cell phones/electronics while outside all day without going into the house. It’s Perfect for birthday parties and relaxing outdoors.

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.

It was very easy to set up just take your time and follow the directions. Make sure you have at least two more people to help you get the roof up. With two more people it makes it a lot easier. Very very satisfied with this gazebo. Me and the wife have spent many hours in the summer sitting out underneath it would highly highly recommend this. Very sturdy very well made.
