Backyard Discovery Barrington 14' x 12' Cedar Wood Outdoor Gazebo Pavilion with Hardtop Galvanized Steel Hip Roof, Snow Support, Wind Resistance, PowerPort, Shade for Garden, Patio, Deck, Entertaining

This is a beautiful sturdy Gazebo. The instructions are decent but is is a bugger to put together, not a one man job. I am absolutely delighted with mine.

It is attractive, it is roomy (16x12 version) and the kit was well organized. The instructions were thorough and crystal clear. There are a lot of instructions. Please do not skip any instructions. There is red print in there for a reason. Those bits are extra important. 😊 It took us a LONG time to assemble. I’m meticulous, like measure-four-times-then-cut level of meticulous , but it still was probably 25 hours in total. And when it was time to put the roof sections (built on the ground first) on the frame, it was impossible for just me and my husband to do. We had to have our three sons come visit to help my husband get them up and installed. Four men, two ladders and rented scaffolding. Yes, we bought a big one, but the expectation that two people could completely build this 16x12 is unrealistic. So, if you are prepared for a project that takes a while and you have the muscle power to bring in for the lift, this is a GREAT gazebo. We LOVE it. We would buy it again, BUT we’d patiently wait for the company that assembles. It would have been about $800 for the build and they were booked 6 weeks out. However, that’s still preferable to the time it took, the scaffolding rental expense, and the truck rental expense to pick up and deliver the scaffolding, and the time and labor of my boys, one of whom drove over five hours one way to come help. ❤️ Love the gazebo. If you get the big one, and you are 50plus, it is probably better pay for the assembly company. UPDATE June 2025: It has been more than 2 years since purchased and erected. It hasn’t aged a bit. We still love it. It is probably my favorite thing I have ever bought. Would buy again and again. Zero regrets.

This is an amazing gazebo. Assembly is easy for someone with a modicum of construction experience, but could be challenging otherwise. But parts were all marked correctly, holes lined up and there was plenty of extra hardware. Mine arrived with shipping damage (not the manufacturer's fault). Customer service was amazing and the right parts arrived quickly. They were very cheerful and helpful! Suggestions: 1.) Use power tools. 2.) When putting roof panels up, use a hinge to attach a couple 10' 2x4s to the long edge of the panel. The two ground helper can use them to ease the panels into place. Remove once stabilized. 3.) Instructions say to screw the trim fascia on top of the steel roof. That would direct rainwater to the wood! I put it under the roof panels. 4.) The cement screws are inadequate to bolt the unit to a slab. Get lead anchors and lag screws, drill holes in the concrete and securely bolt it down. But all in all no regrets! I would definitely recommend it!

I don't write reviews, but this product earned one. The product was delivered early, only 2 boards were damaged and replaced with no questioned asked (2- half lap joints were broken) and every package of screws, nuts, bolts, washers and nuts included ample extras. But what really had me floored was the directions and prefab locations of mounting locations. Both were spot on accurate. No cursing or redrilling required. When the directions called for squaring before tightening, all I needed to do was tighten. I never expected a "kit" to be so well done. It was a time consuming build and lifting the roof sections required 3-4 people, but the rest was a one man job. If I needed another I would buy again in a snap. Well done Barrington, thanks!

Read this before you start building the gazebo! First thing you need to know about this post is that I’m writing it from the perspective of someone who made 95% of this gazebo solo. I’m 5’2” and was able to do just about the entire thing by myself in 4 days with 3 kids home for the summer and a full time business to run. THE INSTRUCTIONS - well written step by step instructions that provided clear pictures and diagrams with written directions for each step THE PROCESS If I was doing this with 1-2 other people we could have knocked it out in 2 days. Since it was just me, I started by fully assembling each side and roof panel. I made sure to bookmark each page that explained how to assemble the pieces together. Then we called a friend over to help us put the roof panels on. Hindsight’s5050!!!! If I were to go back I would have assembled the leg posts one at a time so that I could leverage them against the fence and then attach the crossbars. We attached the roof by pushing it up onto the crossbars beams and then one person got on a ladder under the center and we push/pulled it up the rest of the wasecuring it with bolts. The alignment of the holes and bolts were PERFECT. You MUST square and measure when they tell you to. Don’t worry, this only happens 5 times in the instructions and squaring the 4 posts can take some time but it’s critical. It rained most of the days I worked on this project and none of the wool became bloated or bowed. The structure is super sturdy once completed and looks like an expensive fancy gazebo. We’ve noticed zero leaks thanks to the attention to detail in the roofing sheet metal. The size 12x10 was perfect for our 12x14 space. You don’t want to crowd your space. Tips: - Make sure to get some canvas or leather gloves bc the metal can be sharp. - have extra charged batteries for your drill - Always pre drill for spots that need it. -pre drilling for the self tapping screws was helpful and I’d almost say required. - pre measure the ground and mark the exact square you want it to sit in.

The Backyard Discovery 16-ft x 12-ft Barrington Brown Wood Rectangle Semi-permanent Gazebo with Steel Roof offers a solid option for those seeking to enhance their outdoor space. Delivered on time and well-packaged, the product showed no signs of damage, indicating careful handling during transit. In terms of quality, the gazebo impresses with its sturdy construction and attractive design. However, there were a few minor issues encountered during assembly. Some of the longer boards had noticeable bows, and the instructions could have been clearer, particularly regarding measurements for the roof panels. Additionally, several pre-drilled holes didn't line up correctly, necessitating extra drilling and adjustments. The assembly process proved time-consuming, taking around 16 hours with four individuals, including two experienced in construction and one teenager. Notably, the task of placing the long roof section required four people, which may catch some users off guard. Removing the blue protection film from the edge trim pieces proved to be a tedious task. However, despite these challenges, the end result is satisfying. The gazebo exudes a sense of quality and adds charm to any backyard space. While frustrations may arise, especially for those without prior construction experience, the overall look and durability of the gazebo make it a worthwhile investment. One piece of advice: having someone with a keen eye for instructions, perhaps a woman, can help navigate through the assembly process more smoothly. In conclusion, the Backyard Discovery Barrington Brown Wood Rectangle Semi-permanent Gazebo offers a good balance of quality and aesthetics, making it a solid choice for outdoor enthusiasts looking to elevate their backyard experience. Now I bummed the Gazebo in now $179 dollar less than what I paid just a few weeks ago. :(

Love our new Gazebo from Backyard discovery. When arrived some boxes were damaged and some of the parts where damage. Called Backyard discovery, they were very helpful and had the damaged parts sent out in a couple of days. The customer service people are fantastic. It took us a few days to build. The finished product came out fantastic. The gazebo seems to be very sturdy, and well made.

This nightmare gazebo with a million screws and parts. NONE of the wood is sealed for outdoor weather. All the wood pieces are warped and every piece of wood is split with cracks. Ive been working on this for 3 weeks at 4 hours per day and barely put up the frame. Takes at least 6 people to lift anything as everything is very heavy. Screws never line up to anything as all the wood is warped. Instruction on paper do not match the instructions on the virtual App. Nothing is matching up to anything. Screws nuts and bolts are bent making them unusable. Wood has chips everywhere making it ugly to look at. Delivery guys screwed up my concrete bring it in to my garage with only a hand pallet jack. Who's going to pay for that? I have the video for proof. I would send this back if I hadn't already spent a lot of time on it. It would be impossible to return after opening the heavy boxes. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS AT ALL.

When purchasing this item I was very nervous as it's very expensive but amazon shipped it to my cottage and it does take a couple of people to put up the roof panels..you just need to be patient and get help to put it together but at the end it was all worth it
