Bought this kit to replace an old metal frame rusted out pergola, was love at first sight when I saw timber frame inspired pictures. Build it slowly with help from my two sons, so proud to say I build the roof grid all by myself, a 66 year old lady. I also stained it with Cabot's Heartwood sealer which is the most beautiful color. We were so worried about getting the roof up there in the limited space but it just went up perfectly on the first attempts. Then I took it the rest of the way to perfect- added rain gutters, sun curtains, ceiling fan, Alexa and over 500 fairy lights and Edison bulbs. Could not be happier with the finished product, it was been a really great summer project. Thank you, Backyard Discovery!

The instruction are incredible. Each step lists all items that are needed for that step. It all comes together like it should. We took our time and made it in less than three days. Enjoy the shade and being able to sit outside when it is raining.

Absolutely no surprises with this purchase. Delivery was smooth and quick. Assembly directions were very clear I used both (instruction book included in shipment and 3D version from the app). All of the components (there are a lot) were clearly marked and none were missing. No cutting, drilling, modifying of any kind. I did treat all wood components with a tinted sealer before assembly, to help with moisture protection and give it a deeper color. Most of the assembly I did by myself but about 20% you will defiantly need a couple buddies, especially the roof, but it’s all very doable. I included electrical so I could add two ceiling fans and some party lights. I couldn’t be happier at how it improved my outdoor space

We are happy to leave a five-star review for this well-designed, high-quality gazebo. The detailed instructions were thorough, and all the lumber, every bolt and piece of hardware was in the package and clearly marked. Previous DIY construction experience was helpful, but probably not required. We have had several people stop to admire it and ask where we purchased it. It's the perfect storage spot for our small RV, and future plans already include a summer movie night and a drive-through living Nativity! Thank you, Backyard Discovery, for this great product. We wouldn't hesitate to buy another one if the need arose!

I researched different companies. None of then compared in quality. Sure you could spend less, but it would not be half the quality. The packaging is great. The lumber was in good condition. It is a big project. There are so many parts. Please keep everything organized. It probably should require 4 strong people, but helpers don't usually appear. My wife, son, and myself did the whole project in 2 days. I'm 54, my wife is 36, and my son is 13. The project goes together pretty straight forward. Have the correct tools and read twice. They do provide extra hardware in case you lose one. Overall we have been extremely thrilled. I would highly recommend.

I was hesitant on going with Backyard discovery, you never know how these patio covers are going to look. I looked at some pictures of other patio covers and decided to go with backyard discovery, and I’m so glad we did! It really completes our backyard. And we didn’t only just buy one, we bought two!!! Also bought both for under $10,000, when we got estimates for a vinyl patio for one it was going to be around $20-30,000.

I had a son pass a little over a year ago so when we bought an acreage recently I wanted to build something in his honor. After doing a lot of research I opted for the Backyard Norwood gazebo. Since it’s usually windy here I liked the wind rating and thought the unit was well styled. I started by building the patio then erected the gazebo. I’m 67 years old and pretty much put this up by myself with the help of a bucket tractor getting the first wall up. Someone had said it helped having someone dedicated to reading the instructions so my wife did that which helped quite a bit. My oldest helped with getting half the roof up but wasn’t around for anything else so I put the other half up by myself doing the framing first then the panels. It actually fell right in place. Because of my schedule I couldn’t devote whole days to the project but time wise it was probably a 3 day deal. Lots of hardware, lol, but I can see why it’s so sturdy. I’m thrilled with how it’s turned out and plan on spending a lot of time celebrating my son there. I wasn’t excited about paying the price but I’m happy I did. Highly recommend it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you take your time with the instructions and app, the assembly goes smooth but slow. The assembly will take a few people to help. After a summer of usage I can say it was a great addition. For the winter it will become shelter storage.

My husband and I are 70 and 72. We decided to challenge ourselves and build the gazebo. This kit is absolutely beautiful! The wood is smooth and holes are pre drilled! All the hardware is included, packages are marked and of great quality. Love the black iron accents! The video is easy to follow and so much easier than reading the instructions. We constructed the entire gazebo but had to get help lifting the roof on. We are very proud of ourselves and it was possible with this excellent kit!?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everything went great, the support staff was great and supplied tools great! The greatest thing was the carports made it thru two very bad storms, with wind gusts up to 120 mph, and they were both fine no issues at all, excellent materials.
