We purchased this Norwood 16’ x 12’ gazebo a year ago after discovering we needed some shelter and shade to enjoy our outdoor patio furniture and fire pit. Assembly was not hard but was a little tedious and required a good deal of time as I still work full-time. That said, the instructions were very good, and my wife and I did most of the work. A good friend helped me with the roof and my excellent neighbors helped with the "heavy lift" portion of the build. Once completed, we absolutely loved it! We were spending so much time in it, that I decided to add lights, a ceiling fan, a propane heater, and a television! The television was a little tricky as I needed to protect it from the weather and the ends of the gazebo are basically open. I installed a 4’ x 8’ sheet of ultraviolet-resistant plexiglass in a secure wooden frame and a flip down motorized TV mount. I also added a mesh network satellite to improve streaming and download times. The electrical box supplies enough power and amperage to run all the electrical devices and the drop-down ledge is perfect for charging mobile phones. The entire structure is bolted into the concrete deck and the wood tones matched our patio furniture nicely. We thoroughly enjoy evenings and weekends outdoors watching sunsets, the night sky, and three dachshunds playing in the yard. I cannot recommend this product enough and I am completely satisfied with the purchase. The dachshunds love it, too!

We love our 12’ x 10’ Brindlewood Gazebo. The instructions were easy to understand and I was able to assemble most of it myself. I had a couple of friends to help raise the roof. We love making breakfast, grilling lunch and unwinding with cocktails in the evening. We can use it year round and in any weather. Would highly recommend this.

I spent a year looking at budget options for shade in the backyard before finally deciding to splurge on the Norwood 10x12. Glad I did. Assembly was pretty straightforward, there were a couple spots where the boards were warped or the holes were a bit out of tolerance and I had to drill them a bit larger to make things line up, but that's to be expected with wood. I did most of it myself, and then recruited a few friends to help me stand it up and complete the final steps. Would recommend at least 3 helpers for standing it up and getting the roof panels on. Could be done with fewer, but more makes it much easier. Finished it with Australian Timber Oil. Looks great, nice and sturdy. The building inspector referred to it as "handsome."

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this in the spring and we love it! We love using our backyard, but if it's raining we would always have to run inside but not anymore. Now with our Norwood Gazebo we can stay cool on the hottest of days or dry when it rains!

I bought this about a month ago and built it myself following the detailed instructions. Had a couple of doubts and called Backyard discovery technical support. Mae was excellent in answering my questions and providing some extra supplies in a very timely manner. I couldn't be happier with the results.

It is a very strong and extremely well engineered Gazebo. I found the instructions easy to understand but it definitely requires 3 people to stand up. Personally I would install the roof rafters to the structure first then use a stepladder to screw the sheet metal roofing on. We truly enjoy ours.

We picked up the 16x12 Norwood to extend the coverage of our new stone patio. Everything arrived intake, all parts were labeled clearly, and instructions were very easy to follow. We are just normal homeowners (45 yrs old, owned our home for 20 yrs) and were able to fully assemble the gazebo ourselves. We did need a few extra hands to erect each half and it made it way easier to get the roof panels up when someone hands them up to you while you're on the ladder. We put our gazebo up on 20" concrete blocks to match the height of our existing patio cover. Can't be more pleased. We will update when we get all the accessories installed (lights, fans, etc.) Definitely would recommend this brand!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I put this together over the summer with the help of my neighbors. I worked on it an hour or two at a time and it took me about a week. I was missing one piece and backyard discovery sent it out to me right away. I also built a small deck to put it on. I'm very happy with the finished product. Everyone that comes over loves it!

I am very pleased with my purchase. The kit arrived well packed in easy to handle cartons. Every piece was perfectly produced down to the last screw. I assembled it mostly myself with a little help from my wife. Everyone has complimented the gazebo and at least one friend is buying one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had this put up in our backyard and love it, very sturdy and has great features like the black powder coating on all the metal on cider wood. This looks great and we get compliments all the time.
