Bought this from Sam’s Club a few months ago to put on our back patio. The size is perfect. The quality of the wood and the engineering is outstanding. It’s not a simple assembly, but if you’re familiar with hand tools and have a friend or 2, it can be done in a day or two.

I bought this to add to our concrete patio by our pool, have had so many compliments after hosting 2 party’s so far. The shade is perfect for most of the day, until the sun moves down further. I bought a sun shade and installed that to the side for additional shade towards the end of the day. Gazebo can be installed in 1 day if you have at least 5-6 helping and a couple of people that know what they are doing. Organizing wood pieces and hardware is a must for smooth installation if doing yourself. Overall very solid wood structure, a few wood pieces were delivered warped with a small bend but they still installed and worked fine. Would recommend and consider buying another one in the future.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The gazebo has been up for the past 3 weeks and it’s been awesome. It’s added to our outdoor living space plus we added several other items to it to make it even more enjoyable: outdoor speakers, outdoor fan, outdoor lighting, and outdoor furniture.

[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.

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.] This gazebo is used as an extension of our Florida home. It gives us plenty of room to be outdoors even in the brightest days. I had it screened in to keep the mosquitoes out and we use it almost every day. If you are putting this unit together, separate all of the parts and put them in order. It seems a little overwhelming but systematically it works. One mistake we made was to put the roof on by section. Do not do this. The whole roof needs to be set upon the frame for easiest installation. I wish we had taken a video of us two senior citizens putting this together in the Florida summer. He's 74 and I am 66, if we can do it so can you. Our son in law adjusted the roof mistake. And it does not leak or move even in the heaviest coastal winds. In the winter I will be enclosing it and using it for a green house.

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!

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.] Bought this in the spring and had it put together in one weekend. Attached to our patio with the provided brackets. We made it our own by adding a ceiling fan and patio lights!!! It's almost like being on vacation in our own yard. Thanks

This gazebo is well engineered and awesome for our patio in Florida. There are a lot of parts and can be a bit overwhelming at the beginning but follow the instructions to the tee and it all comes together nicely. Allow plenty of room to work and put all your hardware on a big table. Being in Florida I did add additional support by installing 4x4x8 post with 30" in concrete and used 5" lag bolts at the bottom and at 5' high.
