I bought the Gazebo online about a month ago, and had the professional team come to install the product. From day one the company kept me informed with the shipping status and the scheduling of the assembly. The day of assembly the company reached out to ensure I was satisfied with the installation and received excellent customer service from the caller and their assembly team. Happy customer and the Gazebo is awesome, I am ready to enjoy the summer!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was fairly easy to put together by myself. I needed help with the roof. This company thinks of everything, I love that there were extra screws as well. The cedar is nice touch and the ceiling is lofted a bit. I love it!

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.] Takes definitely more than one day to put together. Loved the pre-drilled holes. Remodified the roof trim to underneath the tin roofing instead of over the top. Pieces of lumber need to be marked a little better. Though now that it is complete it adds more appeal to our yard.

My husband and I have been wanting a gazebo for so long. We finally purchased one and it has been the BEST addition to our home. We host a lot of parties and family get-togethers, the gazebo brings everyone excitment when they see how well built and beautiful this structure is in our backyard. My husband and I eat dinner almost every night under our gazebo while watching the sunset. This gazebo has brought nothing but happiness into our lives. Also, this gazebo protects my two Frenchies from the sun. I LOVE THIS GAZEBO! I definitely would love having another gazebo over our hottub one day!

happy that I bought this a month ago. Just need to see how it does when it rains. Has been able to do very well with the winds. The 4 ridge pieces should hold but we will see with time. The quality of the material was good but had problems with some of the pieces being under/over length. some of the pieces were warped. Had a delay on one of the 12' roof panels that cost me some time to erect and money for a worker that came out of town. All in all once I received the right size pieces the hole thing when up without a problem.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this last spring and were very surprised at how it's built for a kit. Took about 8 hours for three of us to assemble. Would say it was easy, but I've had a lot of experience with building and remodeling. Is a very sturdy building. Stands up to thunderstorms and has a a foot of snow on it in the last month.

This is our second gazebo to build at two different locations and it was a great experience. My wife and I (61 and 58 years old) assembled the gazebo by ourselves. We had our neighbor help with the 14foot roof panels, but we did everything else by ourselves. It was straightforward with the instructions. Just take your time. It helps to have the right tools, drills, etc. to assemble. The quality of the wood is great. And there are plenty of extra bolts and screws for future repairs or needs. If you enjoy DIY projects, this is a fun one to build.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Backyard Discovery Cordova Gazebo completely transformed our deck into a beautiful, comfortable and desirable outdoor oasis. Now our deck is covered and protected from the elements! This season, we have been able to utilize our deck every day. The gazebo has added an additional room to our home for the warmer months. We couldn’t be happier with our purchase.

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.
