I purchased the Backyard Discovery - 16x12 Norwood Gazebo to replace a flimsy metal gazebo. I have had 2 different metal gazebos the last few years & I have had to replace the cloth canopies 3 times even though I removed them in the fall. It was getting quite expensive to keep fixing them. I am sooo glad I found this Norwood gazebo because it is extremely strong & sturdy and it looks great!! Although it is initially more expensive than the cheap gazebos I had been purchasing, my new Norwood gazebo should last a long time, and without having to mess around removing and reinstalling a canopy seasonally. Another great feature is the power distribution box. I am planning to put lights & a TV in it so this adds even more value. They have a website that shows how to easily assemble it & I would recommend to anyone purchasing one to refer to it. I am extremely happy with my purchase & would absolutely recommend it!

I paid extra to have it assembled and it was a good thing. It took about 5 hours for 3 experienced men to do. I couldn’t have done it in a week. The only reason I didn’t rate this for five is because the anchor bolts that go into the concrete were not adequate. I had to buy my own at a hardware store to make it anchored properly.

Given the global logistics issues, it is understandable that this China-made product will be delayed. But the delivery issues were "last mile" with the US-based group. Once we got it, though, we were very pleased. The materials are good quality, instructions are sufficient and parts labels are very helpful. It does take a few strong people and at least 10 hours to assemble, so be prepared. The product support, including an app, seem like an advantage, too. We hope to enjoy this for a while.

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.

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.

Very durable product. Very nice looking. Paid extra to have put together because I didn't want the hassle of assembly! Item will be delivered in 5 separate (heavy) boxes, so be aware of where you are going to store those before they arrive. Company who assembled product did a good job. Only 2 minor dings on cedar posts that the installer ordered stain for.

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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I Highly recommend Backyard Discovery gazebos. Instructions were easy to follow and easy to assemble. I was able to assemble 90% solo. Only when the two halves were put together and the roof attached did I need assistance. Gazebo looks GREAT!

We bought this a month ago and built and installed it a few weeks ago. Exactly what we were looking for and the construction is very solid. Fits a 5 pcs conversation set perfectly. Looking forward to enjoying the summer under the new gazebo. Assembly is a little involved and you will need a few friends to help when it is time to stand it and assemble the two halves of the frame. You will also need at least one friend to help put the roof panels up.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this and scrambled to get it up before the rain set in. This carport not only looks amazing but we get asked about it sll the time , people telling us how great it looks and they would like to have something like it!
