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.

Just purchased a 12' x 14' Barrington gazebo and used two friends to help me assemble it. The job only took 1 1/2 days. All components were per the item list. The assembly went extremely as all holes lined up perfectly. The only thing is that I would have preferred a darker cedar color. I will attempt to stain it next week.

It's absolutely beautiful and incredibly sturdy. We decided to build it ourselves, it was tedious but the instructions were clear and easy to follow. The holes lined up easily, just don't tighten the hardware until they are all lined up. IT IS HEAVY! We had to have 4 people just to lift the 5 boxes off the truck. This is not a 1 man job, you'll need at least 3 people to install the roof. There are videos on YouTube showing people building these that include alot of hints and tips.

We are very happy we purchased the Cordova 14x10 Gazebo. The instructions were very clear and the parts were marked well. Three people were able to put it up in a day. Another vice tool would have helped as the one that came did break during assembly. We are now the envy of our neighbors, or so one tells us.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Gazebo was a replacement for 25+ year old gazebo. My wife and I with some assistance from the grandson were able to assemble this in one weekend. The instructions were very straightforward and components were mostly manageable from and assembly and with perspective. Yep we utilized the grandsons strength and height to get the roof assembled and in position. All within our expectations and abilities. It adds some beauty to an already beautiful view.

I spent countless hours researching gazebos. I searched all over for a very high quality gazebo that would last a long time and that looked great on the new patio I just installed. I stumbled on this gazebo on display at a store by me and I was really impressed with how well the structure was made. Even though it is a dark walnut stain, it had an ever-so-slight hue of red color on a couple of the posts while my wife and I were looking at it in the store. Also, we were looking for something that had a black roof as opposed to a dark brown. So my wife and I decided to keep looking for another option. We looked at other brands which was aesthetically exactly what we were looking for (natural light wood tone with black roof). However, the quality was no where near this. From the max snow load to the wind certification of 100mph, and the impressive quality of the steel roof and cedar, there really was no competition. As you can see from the pictures, there is no red hue at all and it really looks awesome against the gray paving stones I have. CONS: There was a couple nicks and scratches, as well as some waviness in the roof. Also, it comes with screws to bolt into the ground, which is an optional step. The screws to anchor it to the ground were not as high quality as the rest of the structure, so I bought concrete screw anchors (1/4” DIA. x1-3/4” L). They worked out great. Lastly, I love the electric hookup, but the cord was a little short for where we needed it to go by a foot or two. It would be great if the cord length could be adjusted. There are workarounds for this like placing the electric panel lower, so it’s not the end of the world. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase!

Bought this gazebo July 2021. Assembly was… intense. You may want to pay for assembly unless you have a couple of strong people around. Love this so much. Still looks wonderful. Great size. We mounted a tv in one corner and even installed ceiling fans. We spend much more time outside because of it.

I bought this because of the great reviews I read, all were good , now I am here to say that for the price of this pergola, I was highly disappointed that the posts are hollow and they used 2 pieces of wood GLUED together to make each side. Wow, mine sat outside until I got it put up, and every post started separating. I called and told them and they sent more posts, the bottom they put a solid piece in the opening to make it look solid but other end is wide open! I am very disappointed in the quality of this product, beware

My 20x12 Barrington has just been installed by Backyard Discovery. It is gorgeous and heavy duty. I was concerned about hurricanes as I live in Florida, but it seems very sturdy. There were 3 extra costs I didn't expect. It really should be stained before it is installed and is not included, anchoring it is an extra charge, and installation of the screen kit is extra. So be aware of all costs before you start. It is a huge job to install it so I am glad we didn't do it ourselves.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Cordova from Backyard Discovery in late spring 2023 and it's been fantastic! It is so well built, sturdy and it totally transformed the look of my deck and backyard. There is enough space for a table seating 8 underneath and still room to walk around. I chose it because compared to every other brand, the build quality and ratings for wind and snow were better. Plus it looks beautiful! You can't build one this good, this safe, and looks this nice on your own for the price. I added some fans with remotes up inside and some lights around the edge. I get nothing but compliments on it. So glad I chose Backyard Discovery brand. Highly recommend.
