The kit arrived at an incredibly busy time for me. We had just moved and I had many tasked to complete before leaving the country for two weeks. On Sunday night I decided my slate was open for Monday so I began reading and trying to understand the assembly instructions. Monday at 5:00 AM I began unboxing and stacking pieces in a logical placement. With a few breaks to recover from the heat, I had the gazebo erected and fully complete at 7:30 PM. We are thrilled with how this looks and are now excited to return to out home in 7 days to begin enjoying this idyllic space created under our Backyard Discovery 16x12 Norwood Gazebo. What a wonderful addition to our yard.

The color of the gazebo is perfect with my new deck! I bought it before the deck was finished based on the photographs and it worked out perfectly. Love the A-frame design and the power access as well. Assembly was a bit intimidating but the instructions were clear and it turned out great! Looking forward to many a summers night (and day) enjoying this beautiful gazebo!

We got this at the beginning of June 2023. It’s beautiful my husband and I put it together ourselves once we found instructions in box 3 LOL it wasn’t that difficult it took us like 4-5 days were 64 and 70 years old but in good shape our oldest son came to help with the roof panels there not real heavy just kinda awkward for the 2 of us but it’s done and looks amazing only real issue we had was a little roof leaks screws just needed to be tightened down more my husband was worried about ripping the rubber washer if he did them to tight but once he tightened them more all up no more drips .instructions for overlapping roof ribs kinda hard to understand . On page 44 measuring from the rib not the edge hard to understand . We opened all boxes first and layed everything out according to part numbers it made thing way easier to find . We’ve had several parties under it already everyone LOVES IT !

What a beautiful product! The wife and I had long talked about having a custom gazebo built to kick off our backyard beautification projects. We eventually considered a Backyard Discovery kit because of its apparent ease. I’m glad we went with Backyard Discovery! The wood and metal hardware all appear to be of excellent quality. I can’t attest to the ease of the assembly because we hired a crew to put it together. However, it did take a small crew of 3 men nearly all day to finish. the finished product is fantastic! The family loves it!

[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.

In the pictures this was great looking with lot of cool architectural details. It is even better in person. This came in some large heavy boxes, so make sure you have friends to help move and assemble it. But, it was easy to assemble with all the parts needed and clear easy to follow directions (took us a weekend, but we didn't slave away either). Would buy this again in an instant

Not for the weak of heart to put together. We just had two of us putting the gazebo together contrary to advice. We were shorted a couple corner brackets but once we got started it went fairly smooth. We added teardrop lights and a couple fans. It provides good shade and the fans keep a breeze stirring. If you’re not up for a full weekend project, pay to have the gazebo assembled.

I was really impressed with how this went together. Everything lined up well enough, and was easy enough to put together. My only complaint is the roof. The roof isn’t designed for places that have heavy rain the metal roofing doesn’t extend long enough to shed water properly. Both ends also don’t have any roofing material over them, so they are completely exposed to the weather. The design for this roof is a poor choice. The edges are high, with no roofing material, then it drops lower to where the roofing material is, which causes the roofing material to not protect the wood. They should have just designed the roof as a regular roof.

After having a gazebo buckle under the weight of a heavy snowstorm, we wanted one that we knew would withstand our harsh midwestern winters as well as our strong summer storms. After a lot of research, we decided on the 12 x 10 Brindlewood! Ordering this gazebo was quick and easy, and so was the delivery. It even arrived much earlier than we thought it would. All the different parts and the five boxes they came in were well sorted, packed, and labeled. My husband and daughter were able to put it together without any problem because of the thorough and easy to follow instructions. Our gazebo looks beautiful and fits perfectly with the landscape of our backyard. We are looking forward to spending a lot of time in our new Happy Place!

We needed some shade for our 1960’s brick patio and I finally decided on the Norwood 16 x 12. We are extremely happy with it and the beauty of the cedar pairs so well with the old brick! I had 2 friends (one was a retired contractor) help and we finished it just short of 3 days. Our patio slants downhill some so we had to pour some good size concrete pilings. We followed the written directions and the app and only had to back up a couple of times. We are using it as a cook shed and outdoor bar. We even came up with a few suggestions for ease of putting it together! Extremely pleased!!
