Quality of wood and hardware is very good...no chipped discolored wood and location of pre-drilled holes is accurate. Instructions are better than most others and have detailed steps and pictograms of assembly with ballooned enlargements for clarity. Wood and hardware are all marked and accurate...pre-assembly is critical to success - group all like wood parts and organize hardware by number and your assembly will be efficient.

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!

[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.

Quality of components is top-notch and packaging was well thought out to avoid damage to any of the pieces. Every piece was there and accounted for in the boxes and assembly went exactly as described in the instructions. This is a super solid and heavy gazebo, so 2 adults is definitely needed to erect this building. Plan on 2 pretty full days of assembly with 2 people. The cedar looks and smells amazing.

Absolutely no surprises with this purchase. Delivery was smooth and quick. Assembly directions were very clear I used both (instruction book included in shipment and 3D version from the app). All of the components (there are a lot) were clearly marked and none were missing. No cutting, drilling, modifying of any kind. I did treat all wood components with a tinted sealer before assembly, to help with moisture protection and give it a deeper color. Most of the assembly I did by myself but about 20% you will defiantly need a couple buddies, especially the roof, but it’s all very doable. I included electrical so I could add two ceiling fans and some party lights. I couldn’t be happier at how it improved my outdoor space

Both Built and the instructions are very lacking. They tell you after the fact there are things to do before tightening the hardware. They both need a preparation page the tells what the pages ahead for each task are. We had to redo several things. The ridge cap construction leaves a lot to be desired. Not rigid enough due to the use of short boards. We will purchase single length boards and redo this It takes more than 2 people and 15 hours.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the perfect addition to our backyard. It feels very estately, large, substancial, but provides a cozy space for our yard. The gazebo is very sturdy, solid and has survived 2 snow storms and several wind storms already. We paid for assembly and it was well worth it. It took one (very strong) man 5 hours to set this up. He was definitely a pro, as I'm certain it would have taken us several days to complete.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were looking to update our backyard for more outdoor living space, and saw the Norwood Gazebo. We wanted something sturdy enough to handle the weather in the northeast (rain, wind, snow, heat), and this was it. We cannot be more thrilled with how it turned out. All of our friends love it! It took a few weekends to set up, and I would say to have 3 people help to set it up. I love it, and cannot wait to keep using it!

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.

This carport is beautiful and very well designed. Installation is very tedious. You have to be willing to take your time. The Bilt app is great, however the roof rafters and soffit pieces are very confusing and it is difficult to tell which pieces go with which. I meased this up on several panels. The green plastic wrap on the metal sheeting takes an unduly long time to remove. It is a test of patience but the finished product is sturdy and attractive. It's a trade - off!
