[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!

The gazebo assembly went really well, and it looks great adjacent to the house. I did not appreciate getting an email the day I received it saying that to maintain my warranty, I would have to perform labor on the gazebo that would far exceed the cost. Better to just tell customers there is no warranty, as that would have been more truthful.

You have to really pay attention to the detailed instructions. If you follow the directions you will not have any problems. The 2 different size washers for each bolt was painful at times but you have to follow the directions. I’m 65 years old and built this over 2 weekends at my own pace. I found the use of a ratchet strap helpful in keeping the roof panels square and did not screw the cross pieces for the roof panels until I had the framework square. I also used the ratchet strap to help pull the outside rafters in which helped with the final roof bolts alignment. This gazebo is of great quality and very sturdy. I recommend this to anyone who is handy and follows directions carefully. You truly can’t deviate from the directions.

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!?

Instructions were fairly easy to follow, installation was easy with the help of a few people and looks great put together. The impressive part is that since it was installed we've had two storms with at least 50 mph winds and one storm with 70 mph winds and the structure is intact and didn't move a bit. I had reinforced the roof a bit when installing and used some bigger anchors when connecting to the concrete but am impressed that this structure held up to the storms we've had.

I am amazed at the quality of the parts! My husband and brother put this together in a weekend and it looks amazing in our yard! We use this primarily in place of a garbage at our lake home, it is study and provides ample protection for our cars from rain and snow.

I bought this gazebo and was amazed at the quality and details! It is really quite beautiful! The materials are high end and durable, I am very pleased with the gazebo! I am now able to enjoy spending beautiful evenings... rain or shine... in my yard watching nature!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased my Gazebo last Summer and have been enjoying it more than anything. The fact we can bbq and sit out back and not get beat down by the direct hit of the sun is a pleasure and my family and I are truly putting it to great use.

We did an "unboxing" and part sorting as a family to begin our barnraising of the Norwood Gazebo. With the exception of a few holes that needed a bit of drilling to ease the alignment the kit went together well over the course of about 4 days during a wave of 90 degree weather. My wife and young adult children all joined in the project and the experience was enjoyable overall. The quality of the cedar wood components and the hardware and exceptional brackets made the kit a great value. The design and engineering are superior and make the Norwood Gazebo a wonderful and practical addition to our property and outdoor lifestyle. Highly recommended!

[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.
