My husband got me this as a birthday gift a year ago. It’s been a delightful addition to our back patio and we have enjoyed it daily. It provides a wonderful shady spot for our outdoor table and chairs set. Assembly did take quite a few hours but the directions were clear.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After comparing several gazebos by several companies we decided on the 14x12 Norwood Gazebo. It is stylish and outdoorsy. We are almost wanting to sell our camper because we are finding the gazebo area so enjoyable. This adds plenty of shade and protection from the rain. We love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was delivered in late Sept, but sat in my driveway until early Nov. because I couldn't find someone to help me assemble. So I had some time off and decided to try it alone, and I'm glad I did. Everything is well labeled, all the components, and multiple bags of connectors and other parts. I set up all my sawhorses to stack and organize the amazing smelling cedar components. I commandeered my picnic table to arrange all the connector bags by type and number. I downloaded Bilt, and between it and the printed instructions, I made good headway putting things together over a few days. Then it came time to raise the Gable ends, which definitely needs at least 2 people to do. I drafted my fiance to help after work, and in the dark, we got it standing up and put together. Then, a few more days of working alone assembling all of the roof panels on the ground. I found and hired a local handyman to help me with lifting the roof panels into place and securing them and I'm glad I did. This is the most difficult part of the assembly, and it was at times frustrating and left us scratching our heads. The holes for securing the upper facia to the ridge rafter are poorly located, where you cannot use a power tool to drive the bolts. Furthermore, you have to support the roof panel while simultaneously screwing the bolts in by hand with the torx wrench, or else the load of the panel on the bolt as you try to screw it in makes it impossible. Finally, the bolts are being received by T-nuts inside the ridge rafter, and a few of those came loose to the point that the bolts weren't screwing into anything. Very frustrating, but we got just enough of them in to hold the panels in place. The first four panels are "easy" to place before securing, but the last ones on each side are difficult to fit. We also found that the holes in the rafter truss' did not match up with the holes in the roof rafters. More head scratching, eventually drilling/securing the truss' in place when we made sure that everything was keeping its correct dimensions. It took 2 of us 6 hours to place the roof, but we got it done. With the ladder still up, I drove a few 2.5" deck screws through the upper fascia boards into the ridge rafter to make sure the panels were well secured. I had to then travel for a week of work, so I have yet to place the ridge cap and drip edges, and as can be seen in the photos, snow has come to Northern Michigan. My car is clean underneath, and, despite the challenges in assembly, I am VERY PLEASED with the finished product. It looks better than ANY of the other pergolas I considered, and 90% of the assembly experience was perfect and easy. I look forward to many years of shade and dryness under it, and I am so happy I spent my money on a Backyard Discovery product.

I am extremely happy with my new carport. It works perfectly for me and I keep my Ford F150 in it. We live in the Sierra’s and have to deal with snow. This carport is superb in these conditions. I was originally going to have an attached carport built. This was a much better and more economical solution.

My husband just built our new gazebo. We love it we had a massive rain last night and the furniture basically stay dry even know there was a lot of wind. The intricate design of this gazebo is amazing. He pretty much built it himself except for needing help with putting the roof up. We are thrilled with our new gazebo.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love, love, LOVE, our gazebo! We do a lot of outdoor entertaining and this gazebo was PERFECT for our yard. We chose to stain the wood to match our tiki shed. We customized it further with tiki/ beach themed items and an outdoor T.V. We get so many compliments from our guests! The gazebo kit arrived with easy to follow instructions and my husband was able to assemble it with only a little help along the way. This is a quality product and is very well made. The hardware accents the wood. We are extremely happy with our purchase and would definitely recommend it to others.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased the Brindlewood 10x12 gazebo for our back yard directly from Backyard Discovery. The gazebo was delivered via freight about 15 days later. The packaging was very good and the parts were very well labeled across the different boxes. We installed the unit by ourselves and found the instructions to be very easy to follow. While it was a day and a half project for two people, it was definitely a project that was attainable for the average DIY person. The gazebo is beautiful. Solid cedar and stained ina nice semi-transparent dark walnut color. I needed a few extra parts - probably because of my error, and they were very willing to ship the fasteners to me. Their customer service was fantastic dealing with them when I needed them. I priced out different DIY gazebos as well as custom built patio covers, and Backyard Discovery has the best pricing and product, hands down. Here are a few pictures of our gazebo.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this in May 2023. The basic build out was well explained and easy to assemble with one helper. However, it took me six months to fully complete my install, doing a little at a time. It's now fully enclosed with an additional 6x10' adjoining space. It's my full outdoor kitchen with seating for 4, a propane firepit & table, a 4 burner 36" Blackstone griddle, 4 burner 39" Charbroil grille, 2 storage cabinets, a waste bin, a deep sink, overhead fan and exhaust fan, controlled lighting, and rain gutters. I can use fully enclosed or open air. It's a wonderful addition.

We love our new gazebo. We bought this beautiful and durable shelter this summer. Our expectations have been exceeded because of the craftsmanship built into every piece. Everyone that comes to backyard is amazed at this new gathering place. Thank you this product it is impressive

I went with Backyard Discovery because it looked the most heavy duty and durable compared to other brands. And I was right. I live in a windy area, and I can tell this gazebo will withstand the elements. Definitely recommend having at least 3 (maybe 4) people when installing the roff panels. Almost everything else can be done with 1-2 people. Took us a couple days to fully install and mount to a concrete pad.
