Ratings & Reviews for Backyard Discovery Barrington 16-ft x 12-ft Hardtop Roof Steel Gazebo

Well built

Great product, more than we expected. Well packaged constructions were on point and looks great. Very happy.

Summer project.

Excellent instruction. Only installing the trim, the video shows the wrong pieces for the 14 foot side. The 14 pieces should be on the 12 foot and the 12 should be on the 14. The right pieces are showned in the manual. This is something that should be addressed. Other than that,great instructions.

Love the gazebo but the installers…omg

The build quality is great, instructions great, the ‘out of the box’ installers.. not so great. It took them 2 days and I had to help otherwise things would have been skipped or missed. The individual roof panels have a cap edge that that they would have been forgotten which would have been a nightmare as when the heavy roof panels are in place another slide on piece covers the 2 adjoining cap pieces. As it was, they messed up one cap edge by not screwing it in the middle -you could see the sky ...

Good kit for the money

10x14 gazebo. Went up well with just me except for setting up post beams and roof panels where I needed help. Took me a couple weeks working 4 hrs a day. Parts of the instructions aren't clear and you've got to pay attention. I installed the facia trim UNDER the steel roof panels to act as a drip edge as I didn't want water running off the roof onto support beams. The power port could use a couple usb-C ports. Parts were all there but a couple wood parts had cracks and needed glue and screws. Ov...

Love the Gazebo

The gazebo arrived in 6 large boxes. I put it togther with my two boys; 8 and 10. I would recommend having a couple adults to assist. You'll definitely need 3 adults to install the roof panels. Now that it's installed, we are hoping for years of enjoyment. So far, so good!

Well designed and made.

very detailed intructions and packaging

Gorgeous and Heavy Duty

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.

Nice gazebo, provides nice shade.

I would recommend this gazebo- follow the directions and you will enjoy the outcome!

A+ Gazebo

Great quality gazebo. It's sturdy, looks beautiful in the backyard and only took one full day to assemble. Provides plenty of shade and makes the space perfect for relaxing or entertaining. I highly recommend it!

Very Nice Unit!!

The assembly instructions and pre-drilled pieces were excellent! Assembly was a breeze!

Very well built! Excited to use all year!

Love how this turned out! Built very well. Only difficult part putting it together was the roof which was expected. We have loved sitting underneath it in our backyard! My only complaint(suggestions?) would be to look into the design of the add-on mounted plug-in. Our first thing to plug in were programmable string lights and the plug doesn’t allow the cover to shut over the plug. We are now looking at alternative options to plug things in.

If I can do it …

If you go slow and take your time it’s not that bad to put together, even for your average homeowner. It took me and a friend 1 full day and 3 half days (after work). That doesn’t include sorting the wood and removing plastic. That took a couple hours as well with 2 people. It also comes with a lot of the bits you will need. We got away with a small ladder until it came time for the 16’ panels. Then we needed a 6’ in the middle and we used a bench to step up on for the people holding the base....

Beautiful and well built

We love this gazebo! The construction is beautiful and provides a great little space for family conversations and relaxation. We have spent every spare moment under in our new patio area. No regrets here! I keep joking with my husband that we don’t need vacations anymore because the most relaxing vacation is in our own backyard!

Nice Gazebo!

Very Nice. As advertised. Heavy duty. Could install yourself - professional installation strongly recommended. We are enjoying it

Mostly great tutorial

Love these CAD based tutorials. Only critique - none of the part numbers on roof sheet metal pieces matched those listed in these directions. I was able to use judgement and process of elimination to figure it out however this did cause a bit of stress and confusion which translated to additional unnecessary build time.

Dorsey build

Instructions are clear and precise. Just follow as recommended.

Barrington 14x12 Gazebo

Very difficult to put together. Make sure that you inventory all parts before starting. Missing numerous pieces.

One of our best purchases ever!

We purchased our Gazebo about a month ago and it is one of the best purchases we ever made! We love our back deck, but in the afternoon and early evening, the sun beats down on the deck making it almost unusable. We installed the Gazebo on the deck and added roll up/down blinds to the west and north side, a ceiling fan, and lighting. Our only regret is that we didn’t do it 20 years ago. My wife and I installed the deck doing most of the work ourselves. We engaged our son to help lift the 12...

Love it!

We bought this in July and finally finished assembly after a couple weekends, few hours here and there. It is beautiful and very well crafted. I thought about buying it for over a year and finally did, for the quality the price is unbeatable!

Hope the product is better than the shipping

I received a text saying my order would be at my house between 7 and 7, so I was stuck at home the entire day. it never arrived. I got another text that night saying it would arrive between 9:30 and 1 the next day. It got here on time. the delivery truck did not have a ramp and the men manhandled and dropped the heavy boxes onto my driveway. I asked them it they would put them in my garage, 4 feet away from where they stacked them (on uneven ground and concrete) and they said they could not un...
