Great addition to our patio area

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We recently poured a large concrete patio to replace an old deck. We purchased the Brindlewood Gazebo to add a place to escape the strong sun in the summer. We were very pleased with the entire process. Fast delivery, easy assembly, and it looks amazing. We highly recommend. Note: The majority of the build was done by one person. We enlisted help of a couple friends to place the roof and lifting of the frame.

Beauty in the backyard.

[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.

Norwood 20x12

We got this at the beginning of June 2023. It’s beautiful my husband and I put it together ourselves once we found instructions in box 3 LOL it wasn’t that difficult it took us like 4-5 days were 64 and 70 years old but in good shape our oldest son came to help with the roof panels there not real heavy just kinda awkward for the 2 of us but it’s done and looks amazing only real issue we had was a little roof leaks screws just needed to be tightened down more my husband was worried about ripping the rubber washer if he did them to tight but once he tightened them more all up no more drips .instructions for overlapping roof ribs kinda hard to understand . On page 44 measuring from the rib not the edge hard to understand . We opened all boxes first and layed everything out according to part numbers it made thing way easier to find . We’ve had several parties under it already everyone LOVES IT !

Looks great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had purchased a Backyard Discovery playset in the past and were happy with the product so when looking do build a pavilion we decided to order this one. We live in Northern Minnesota and wanted something attractive and sturdy enough to withstand the snow. My husband opted to stain each piece prior to building it, we put it together ourselves, we couldn’t be happier with the results.

Beautiful Kit, but assembly can be a challenge

[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.

Great Gazebo

The 14 x 12 Gazebo is great! We were able to put it together in three days with a little help from a few friends. The parts fit like a glove. If I had a recommendation, it would be to add a bit more detail to the assembly instructions to answer a few questions and streamline the assembly. Otherwise, a great product, quality wood!

Awesome Gazebo

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this to replace a smaller one that had a fabric top, so glad I did. Kit arrived in multiple boxes and to my surprise No damage. Great instructions and between my wife I we were able to get it together in a couple days. All the holes were correctly placed and as long as you follow the directions I believe anyone could put this together. This will be the first Colorado winter it will go through and I believe that it should have no problems.

What can I say that hasn't been said?

We were looking for a Gazebo solution that could withstand our extreme winters and high snowfall and this one looks very sturdy. The parts were very well identified and packaged (each hardware pack had at least one extra piece so if you stripped or damaged one, you had a spare). The instructions are a dream to use (when I didn't understand a process, I watched the "BILT" video instructions and those had the extra details I needed). The steps are organised and thorough. Yes, there are steps where you definitely need 2 or 3 people, but these steps are identified so you can arrange help beforehand. We are very pleased with everything about this product and would highly recommend this to anyone. Everything about this gazebo, the packaging, instructions, precision and even the fact that there is an extra of every nut an bolt (for emergencies ;-)). I have constructed many items in my life, but this HAS to be the best and relatively easiest I've experienced. I'm a fan!

Excellent

[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!

Relaxation at it’s Finest

We have thoroughly enjoyed having morning coffee under our gazebo. We spend as much time as possible dining and entertaining under our Brindlewood 12X10 Gazebo. It’s turned our otherwise plain backyard into our own little getaway! It’s so sturdy which is important in the Gulf Coast. The tin roof keeps it shady and cool in the Texas heat. We highly recommend Backyard Discovery 12X10 gazebo.
