[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this gazebo for my backyard and it’s a beautiful addition to my landscaping. The gazebo is well built and the package included everything that was needed to put it together along with detailed instructions. The contractor that installed it for me was so impressed with the product that he recommended it to several of his customers.

Just completed my Norwood 12x10 Gazebo. I was very impressed with the engineering. Took some time but went together nicely. Not one missing item. The notching, drilling and cuts are super accurate. The instruction manual is nicely drawn and very detailed. It was a fun project and looks great!

Great product and love the look. We were able to build and install in two weekends. Definitely needed 4 people to set the walls in place. Parts were perfectly labeled and the video instructions were invaluable. Great asset to building the finished product.

Everyone loves the gazebo, but you should know the corner posts are hollow and the long sides come in 3 separate pieces bolted together. Also, the metal roof doesn't have flashing at the side trim but really should have to prevent or ice from building on your roof. Design is nice once you finally get it together!

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!

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.

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.

We bought this a couple of months ago for an added look to our ranch entryway. It looks like Christmas Magic now. Thinking up ways to decorate for other seasons. The compliments from all that have seen it have been wonderful. Postal Carrier made a point to stop and tell us how much she likes the new look.

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.

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!!
