My husband and I bought the gazebo for cover over our patio area by our swimming pool. To be honest I was hesitant at first because it was a “kit” but it was easy to follow directions and put together. It is also very sturdy and solid. It’s a beautiful addition to our backyard area!

all in all a great product. Took my wife and I approximately three weekends to assemble, with the help of some friends for the heavy lifting. Directions are pretty good, got confused a few times but the good thing is that if you do put something together wrong you'll be able to tell it's incorrect because it will not line up with other components. All parts are identified well and they give you extra on every fastener. The kit also includes all the tools required even the wood clamps needed for some of the assemblies. As mentioned before my wife and I did most of the assembly by ourselves, the only thing we need additional help was on putting the two halves of the frame together and lifting the roof panels into place, three people were required for these steps.

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 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!!

We picked up the 16x12 Norwood to extend the coverage of our new stone patio. Everything arrived intake, all parts were labeled clearly, and instructions were very easy to follow. We are just normal homeowners (45 yrs old, owned our home for 20 yrs) and were able to fully assemble the gazebo ourselves. We did need a few extra hands to erect each half and it made it way easier to get the roof panels up when someone hands them up to you while you're on the ladder. We put our gazebo up on 20" concrete blocks to match the height of our existing patio cover. Can't be more pleased. We will update when we get all the accessories installed (lights, fans, etc.) Definitely would recommend this brand!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’ve had our Norwood Gazebo for nearly six months now and we love it. It is beautiful and functional and provides us with great shaded hang out area in our backyard. My only reservation with this product is the price. There are other cheaper options out there but we decided to go with this one figuring “you get what you pay for”. The roof has received dents from hail but no major problems. And it has handled several medium snows already as well (CO).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this gazebo recently and couldn’t be happier with it! The quality of the wood exceeded my expectations and everyone that has seen it just Loves it. This is a Quality product for a Fair price. I live in Michigan and this provides premium shelter year round. I have added brown tarps for the winter and a patio heater and am extremely satisfied.

Very well made and sturdy. Well worth the money. Follow the instructions and you'll have it built in a day. Takes two to put together, but need minimal 3 to put roof up. Make sure you secure one of the roof panels, before putting up the second one. I didn't do this and it slid off. Was able to repair and paint, but was not happy. It was my fault, because I did not follow instructions and put screws in to secure it before putting second roof panel. You don't have to climb on top of the roof. Saw it on a video and was worried, but you don't have to. The most time consuming part of install was the amount of hardware.

We searched and searched Sam's to get this. My husband was tracking it with an app to know immediately when it came back into stock. It is absolutely gorgeous once assembled. However, unless the 2 people building it are Thor and the Incredible Hulk, you will need more than 2 people. We used 4 at times to get it upright.

I have zero complaints, love the final product. No missing pieces, and instructions were easy to follow. You do have to be somewhat handy to put it all together, and if you dont square it up the roof panels will not go on right. That was the only thing with the set up i would warn people about. And it 100% is not a one person job.
