[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to understand manual instructions along with the app. I suggest you use them both together. We were able to build this with myself and my husband but strongly suggest others to assist when operating the post. Didn't realize in order to be under warranty you have to stain or seal the wood every year for 5 years. We have received many compliments about the beauty of the pavilion. Overall we are very pleased with how it turned out.

The gazebo turned out pretty good. Not to bad to build. My only complaint would be the wood. I thought I was getting cedar. Turns out it is Chinese cedar. It's not really cedar, but part of the cypress family. It has the same general qualities of cedar, rot resistance, keeps insects away. The wood on my gazebo is stained from the factory. The wood splits really easy and exposes the white wood underneath. Some of the bolts and fasteners broke or stripped pretty easy, but they do have a few extras in the bags. Overall it's solid and will keep the rain and sun off of us when needed.

[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.] I am very pleased with my 20x12 Norwood Gazebo Kit. The purchase process was efficient, the kit arrived in excellent condition, and installation instructions were very thorough. This is a great addition to my backyard, one that I'm sure I'll enjoy for years to come.

The instructions are extremely well. The best I've ever seen. The quality of the wood and hardware is extremely good. This far exceeded my expectations. I did not want an unfinished wood look.So I primed and painted the wood prior to building the structure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We needed a carport and this is a great size and value. The top is durable for all season weather. When not a carport we can use for shade to grill and setup for family gatherings. You will get a lot of use out of it, that is for sure!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We finally decided to put this together ourselves after back and forth for months with the assembly company that failed to come through. We love it, the beginning stages my husband and I put it together towards the end we seeked out help from 2 others.

We purchased this to provide shade and protection on our property in the Wyoming mountains, and have enjoyed it thoroughly since we have had it up. We chose this for the structural ratings given, and after completing the assembly, am confident that the structure will meet and exceed expectations!. The directions were great and easy to follow, and everything lined up perfectly! It is as appealing as it is sound. Highly recommend!

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.

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.
