Backyard Discovery Arlington 12' × 12'
Installation in Nashville, TN
A square cedar gazebo. Like the rest of the Backyard Discovery wood range, the posts and beams are heavy and the base has to be level and correctly anchored before anything goes vertical.
You know us for TV mounting — but our crew builds these too. We assemble the Backyard Discovery Arlington 12' × 12' at your home across Nashville and Middle Tennessee: squared, levelled, anchored to your surface and checked before we leave.

Worth knowing about this model
The Arlington is square rather than rectangular, which sounds like a detail and is not. A twelve by twelve cedar frame has to be true on the diagonal, and unlike a rectangle there is no long axis to sight down and catch a mistake — an out-of-square base shows up in the roof, by which point it is expensive to fix. We check the diagonals before anything goes vertical.
What We Handle on a Backyard Discovery Arlington 12' × 12' Build
At 12' × 12' this is a large structure. The roof span and the weight are exactly where a DIY build gets unsafe.
Hardware inventory before we start
These kits ship with a lot of small hardware. We count and sort it first, so a shortage is found at the beginning of the job instead of at the final bolt.
Surface check and anchoring plan
Concrete, pavers, deck or ground — each is anchored differently. We confirm the surface and the anchoring method for your 12' × 12' footprint before we build, not after.
Level base before anything goes vertical
Cedar posts and beams are heavy and unforgiving. A wood frame built out of level racks over time and puts load onto joints that were never meant to carry it. We check the grade first.
Roof panels seated in sequence
Hardtop roofs shed water through correct overlap, not sealant. Panels go on in the order the manual specifies — a panel fastened out of sequence is the usual cause of a seam leak.
Crewed for the span
A 12' × 12' roof span is not a one-person lift. We bring enough hands to raise and seat the roof safely instead of improvising with ladders.
Packaging broken down
Cardboard and packaging broken down and stacked. Ask us to include full haul-away in the quote if you'd rather it disappear entirely.
Backyard Discovery Arlington 12' × 12' installation is quoted per job. The price depends on the surface, how level it is and how much site preparation the spot needs, so we don't publish a flat rate. One of our sales representatives confirms your exact price before any work begins.
More than TV mounting
Same crew. Same care. Bigger projects.
PrimeTvNashville built its name on professional TV mounting — and the same attention to level lines, correct anchors and a clean finish is what we bring to your Backyard Discovery gazebo. Playgrounds, furniture, mirrors and shelving too.
Backyard Discovery Arlington 12' × 12' — Common Questions
How much does Backyard Discovery Arlington 12' × 12' installation cost in Nashville?
+
This model is quoted per job. The price depends on the surface it is going on, how level that surface is and how much site preparation the spot needs. Send us your ZIP code and the surface and one of our sales representatives will confirm your exact price before any work begins.
How long does it take to assemble the Backyard Discovery Arlington 12' × 12'?
+
Typically 10–16 hours, often across two days for a 12' × 12' hardtop of this construction. That is approximate — a level concrete patio shortens it, a sloped lawn or a missing part lengthens it. We give you a realistic window when we quote.
What surface can the Backyard Discovery Arlington 12' × 12' go on?
+
Concrete patio, pavers, a wood deck, compacted gravel or level ground all work, and each one is anchored differently. The surface is the first thing we ask about, because it changes both the anchoring hardware and the price.
Does the Backyard Discovery Arlington 12' × 12' need a level base?
+
Yes, and more so than a metal gazebo. Cedar posts and beams are heavy, and a wood frame built out of level puts the load onto the wrong joints and racks over time. We check the grade before anything goes vertical and tell you honestly if the site needs work first.
Do the roof panels on the Backyard Discovery Arlington 12' × 12' need to be sealed?
+
They need to be seated and overlapped correctly, which is what the design relies on to shed water — not sealant. A panel that is out of position or fastened in the wrong order is the usual reason a hardtop leaks at a seam. We follow the panel sequence in the manual.
Do I need the Backyard Discovery Arlington 12' × 12' delivered before you arrive?
+
Yes. All boxes need to be at the property before our crew arrives. Once everything has been delivered, let us know and we will schedule the build. If a box arrives damaged, it is far better to find that out before the appointment than halfway through it.
What if parts are missing from my Backyard Discovery kit?
+
We inventory the hardware before the first bolt goes in, so a shortage shows up at the start rather than at the last step. If something is missing we tell you straight away so you can claim it from the manufacturer, and we come back to finish once it arrives.
Can you assemble a gazebo I bought somewhere else?
+
Yes. We do not sell gazebos — we install them. Lowe's, Home Depot, Costco, Sam's Club, Amazon, Wayfair or direct from Backyard Discovery: if it came in boxes, we can build it.
