[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I give this Gazebo a five star. I put it together myself. Being 73 years it took me two weeks to do it .I feel if I can do it anyone can do it. Great instructions with great back up by internet or phone it you have any questions.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very well-designed gazebo with sturdy cedar wood pillars and an aluminum rooftop. Perfect for our salt-air environment. Although we had to hire a company to put it together because it was too complicated for the two of us, we would purchase it again,.

This definitely is alot of work. it says it takes 3 people 10 hrs. I'd say 2 & both should have tools. it's not difficult to build. I did most of it myself (I'm a 45 yr old woman) with help from my son & his friend with the roof. the only negative I have is the clamp that it comes with is not strong enough & the one we received was broken. overall I love the gazebo & have been enjoying it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very pleased with the construction of this gazebo. When all the pieces were put together, I had a few neighbors help put those pieces together. Very sturdy and ready for all the abuse Iowa weather will throw at it.

We just built two Backyard Discovery structures and we absolutely love them! The instructions were very clear for both, especially the emphasis on critical steps that would terribly difficult later on if missed. Some of the online reviewers, who praised your products and were quite detailed, recommended treating all of the pieces before assembly. We did so. Yes, it added some time to the project. But we want this to last for a very long time and consider that extra investment of our time to be worth it. I am not sure if you want to mention such an undertaking or not. Perhaps if you had been doing some studies and could offer some insight? In the meantime, we'll have to see how well Olympic Transparent Waterguard works over the years.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We install our 16x12 Barrington gazebo on a deck next to our seasonal campsite at the beach. The quality of the backyard Barrington impressed us so much that we have plans purchasing a second for our home.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought and assembled this Gazebo in the middle of summer. I did the vast majority of the assembly by myself. I just need help lifting the four roof sections to the top of gazebo. My Dad and My son also helped me remove all the blue plastic that was protecting all the roof sheet metal parts. That would have taken me an extra day if I had to do that on my own. It is very sturdy. We also added an indoor-outdoor fan to the top of the gazebo. We also added lights and mounted a TV with an outdoor cover. The only think I can say negative about this gazebo, is that it really needs gutters. If we have rain and it is windy too, everything under the gazebo still gets soaked.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this item about 8 months ago. I was a little hesitant in assembly it, but once I got started, it was fairly easy. The roofing was a little tricky, but overall, it was very user friendly.

I purchased this Gazebo last summer and had them assemble it too. They contracted semi-local contractors to actually assemble it and they did a phenomenal job. The gazebo itself is very sturdy (held up perfectly to very strong winds and heavy snows this winter) and visually pleasant and inobtrusive. I did install a misting system to the outside perimeter which works wonderfully and keeps a large patio/pool deck very comfortable. I highly recommend this gazebo!

I purchased this gazebo this summer and hired someone to assemble it for me. They never found time so I did it myself. I must say there are so many good things about this set. Very good quality materials that for the most part fit together like a glove. They even give you extra screws/bolts/washers which I needed because I dropped a few in the grass and could not find them and I stripped a couple screws (my fault). I did have a few problems but since I am not a professional handy man, it could of been my fault. You must get the roof framing within the correct dimensions as stated in the instructions. The 10' sides were off a slight bit and I could not get it fixed. This caused a little problem later. The roof pieces are heavy so it will take 3 strong people to set them up and secure them. The paper instructions were OK but I had to use Youtube to verify some things...and there's an app you can download too that helps allot. If you are considering it, do it.
