We added a paver system to the back yard, and felt it needed some coverage from weather (rain/sun) so we could enjoy it as often as possible. After looking around at many options, came across this beauty. Fortunately for me, the crew doing the work on the patio agreed to assemble it. They didn't seem to have any issues with the instructions, and got it up in 2 days, while working on the other aspects of the project. The built-in outlet was one of the deciding factors in our decision, as it will keep us from having cords across the ground (required an electrician to run the lines from the house). All our neighbors who have seen it have complimented us on how it turned out. Very happy with our purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had purchased a Backyard Discovery playset in the past and were happy with the product so when looking do build a pavilion we decided to order this one. We live in Northern Minnesota and wanted something attractive and sturdy enough to withstand the snow. My husband opted to stain each piece prior to building it, we put it together ourselves, we couldn’t be happier with the results.

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.

We bought this a month ago and love it! It was a bit of a challenge to put together-you definitely needed both the written and video instructions but now that it is done I couldn’t be happier! It looks awesome and is my new favorite spot! We will be enjoying many days and evenings to come.

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.

Tired of DIY gazebos that will not hold up to the Nevada desert winds? Time for a real gazebo! The Norwood is the mother-of-all-gazebos and will stand strong, through wind, rain, snow, and whatever else nature throws at it. Pro tip: Treat yourself to the "installation included" option and save your marriage and friendships. After all, you'll want those same people in your gazebo!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this to replace a smaller one that had a fabric top, so glad I did. Kit arrived in multiple boxes and to my surprise No damage. Great instructions and between my wife I we were able to get it together in a couple days. All the holes were correctly placed and as long as you follow the directions I believe anyone could put this together. This will be the first Colorado winter it will go through and I believe that it should have no problems.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this gazebo after looking at a lot of other kits. The price was right and it had the look we wanted, plus it was all cedar. I was most impressed by the roof assembly, having all the parts accessible from the underside made it easy to put the roof on. The hardest part was standing up the legs, it actually took 3 people to hold everything while the cross members were attached, but not a big issue. Lastly, the legs are not actual 6x6 beams, they are 2x6 boards tacked together, so they are lighter than an actual solid beam. Not an issue but it something I was not expecting.

[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!

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!
