Had my 12x16 Barrington gazebo installed, they did a very good job took almost all day with 2 1/2 men. I have now completed installation of tv with swing up mount, ran electrical conduit paint black, installed two electrical box’s for power for tv and electrical box provided on post. Also installed 52” outdoor ceiling fan and a 120” crank down shade to block the sun in the afternoon. Very pleased the way it turned out.

I was a little hesitant when I first ordered. I had priced out building the same size gazebo with the same features, metal roof and all. Total was going to be 9k. I reluctantly ordered. $2800.00 how good could it be? I received it on time and wow six boxes, some of them weighing nearly 200 lbs. I opened them up and was like holy cow that’s a lot of pieces, this is going to take awhile. A day and a half later with the help of my son in law it was done. I have to say I am impressed with the finished product. I have no regrets at all and saved quite a bit.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pictures do not do this gazebo justice! This thing is absolutely beautiful in person. Very well crafted and holds up to the crazy winds we experience. We live up on a bluff and have never been able to have any additional outdoor structures due to the tremendous wind; however, this gazebo stands solid and we couldn’t be more pleased with our purchase.

Bought this last summer and we love it! Assembly was challenging, even with 4 of us because of heavy pcs, and the high roof, but we did it. If I buy another, I would pay for set up. ;) This gazebo is so well built, sturdy and good looking. Survived winter no problem. Highly recommend this.

I purchased this back in March and got it last Wednesday. I completed it today ,with everyone trying to go cheap on their product I was very impressed with the quality of the material. The instructions are very easy to follow I laid out the material as instructed and everything went smoothly.The only thing I needed help on was installing the roof pieces.I was only short 14 1/4 flat washers which is impressive considering the number of pieces with this product. I called and they are sending me some flat washers, I went to the hardware store and got some and painted them black I. Order to complete it today the person I spoke with was very knowledgeable and courteous.

I am very pleased with the beauty of this gazebo! The parts were labeled very well thank God because there were alot of bags and all parts were there too! The directions were a bit hard to follow and alot of pre-drilled holes didn't match up but my husband is in construction so that was no problem.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We live in South Carolina on the coast so we needed a shelter that sould withstand hurricane winds. Backyard Discovery was the only company that offered us a choice that fit our needs and price point. When constructing the gazebo I found that you can put it together a little differently than the instructions and still get great results, especially on the roof parts. for the most part it was a one person job. DO NOT try to install the roof panels without help. Preferrably three strong men. As you can see by the pictures, the end product is great. We love the way it turned out and it has been a pleasure to use. We added gutters because it was close to the house and we wanted to have a way to get to it without getting wet. It worked out better than we exp[ected. Overall it's a good value. It does take some expertise to put together, but a handy person can do it.

We got ours about 5 months ago and our whole backyard is transformed.! We have an outdoor kitchen under the gazebo and have been using it non-stop! The cypress is so pretty and all of the little details make it worth every penny. We love this gazebo and highly recommend it!

I bought this last fall and I had the company install it. Which I’m glad I did. They were very efficient in getting the gazebo put up in a few hours. It would have taken me a couple days I’m sure. The gazebo is a perfect fit on my patio and it’s a solid piece. My back yard is hammered with wind and it has stood up to the test. As I got it in the end of summer early fall it did great with blocking the sun. I can’t wait to get back outside and just relax under it hen the weather breaks. I definitely recommend this gazebo.
