[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first thing that struck me about this kit was the perfect packaging. It came in a series of numbered boxes and nothing was missing. All parts fit perfectly together and we love our back patio pavilion. The materials are high-quality. The BEST part of this kit was the use of the digital instructions. I make training for a living and this app is SPOT-ON!

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

My carpenter friend and I just finished erecting this building. Not only is it beautiful above my swim spa, it so well constructed. I firmly believe it will easily withstand the high winds and heavy snow as you advertise. We did not have to adjust any of the pre-drilled holes. The enclosed brackets are not flimsy sheet metal as you might expect. We are very pleased with the entire project. Would strongly recommend to anyone.

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.

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.] It was delivered in late Sept, but sat in my driveway until early Nov. because I couldn't find someone to help me assemble. So I had some time off and decided to try it alone, and I'm glad I did. Everything is well labeled, all the components, and multiple bags of connectors and other parts. I set up all my sawhorses to stack and organize the amazing smelling cedar components. I commandeered my picnic table to arrange all the connector bags by type and number. I downloaded Bilt, and between it and the printed instructions, I made good headway putting things together over a few days. Then it came time to raise the Gable ends, which definitely needs at least 2 people to do. I drafted my fiance to help after work, and in the dark, we got it standing up and put together. Then, a few more days of working alone assembling all of the roof panels on the ground. I found and hired a local handyman to help me with lifting the roof panels into place and securing them and I'm glad I did. This is the most difficult part of the assembly, and it was at times frustrating and left us scratching our heads. The holes for securing the upper facia to the ridge rafter are poorly located, where you cannot use a power tool to drive the bolts. Furthermore, you have to support the roof panel while simultaneously screwing the bolts in by hand with the torx wrench, or else the load of the panel on the bolt as you try to screw it in makes it impossible. Finally, the bolts are being received by T-nuts inside the ridge rafter, and a few of those came loose to the point that the bolts weren't screwing into anything. Very frustrating, but we got just enough of them in to hold the panels in place. The first four panels are "easy" to place before securing, but the last ones on each side are difficult to fit. We also found that the holes in the rafter truss' did not match up with the holes in the roof rafters. More head scratching, eventually drilling/securing the truss' in place when we made sure that everything was keeping its correct dimensions. It took 2 of us 6 hours to place the roof, but we got it done. With the ladder still up, I drove a few 2.5" deck screws through the upper fascia boards into the ridge rafter to make sure the panels were well secured. I had to then travel for a week of work, so I have yet to place the ridge cap and drip edges, and as can be seen in the photos, snow has come to Northern Michigan. My car is clean underneath, and, despite the challenges in assembly, I am VERY PLEASED with the finished product. It looks better than ANY of the other pergolas I considered, and 90% of the assembly experience was perfect and easy. I look forward to many years of shade and dryness under it, and I am so happy I spent my money on a Backyard Discovery product.

This unit is well made and sturdy, but be forewarned. There are hundreds of pieces and hundreds of screws and bolt. It is not hard to put together if follow the directions and try to look ahead to see what it is that you are doing. I did 95% of it by myself, but I had plenty of time to do. If you have access to help take it. Things will go alot smoother. There were no missing parts. However one sheating board was cut wrong and I had to recut the lap and drill new holes, no big deal. Overall I'm very pleased with unit.

I was debating for a few weeks to purchase this carport and was worried about the quality of material. I decided to pull the trigger and am very pleased with the Norwood Carport/Gazebo. We have set up an outdoor dining area in our backyard and it provides adequate shade during the hot summer months. 5-stars!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] They look So Good in your ads. I bought 2 10 by 12 Gazebo's I did only took twice as long to assemble But the second one went faster than the first. They look great together. I put them in the end so I have room for my pool table in the middle which is coming soon. Just picked up 2 Jack Daniel's barrels to build a bar on one end and sitting area at the other end with pool table in the middle soon to come. In a few months, I will be adding a barbecue covered area Before Spring.

We are happy to leave a five-star review for this well-designed, high-quality gazebo. The detailed instructions were thorough, and all the lumber, every bolt and piece of hardware was in the package and clearly marked. Previous DIY construction experience was helpful, but probably not required. We have had several people stop to admire it and ask where we purchased it. It's the perfect storage spot for our small RV, and future plans already include a summer movie night and a drive-through living Nativity! Thank you, Backyard Discovery, for this great product. We wouldn't hesitate to buy another one if the need arose!
