I'm so glad I purchased this carport. Originally, we were going to build on an additional garage, but after getting quotes on a project that size, we started looking at other options. Settled on the Norwood Carport by Backyard Discovery and man I'm glad we went this route. I'm 63 and somewhat handy with building things, so I put it together myself. Obviously, doing it by myself posed a few challenges, but all in all it was a breeze. Very simple install. The step by step directions (included) were great, and the labeling of the pieces was perfect. Total install took me about 2 weeks to complete, but that included some special concrete footings which I poured myself since I was installing it on a slight grade (and it was winter) On a flat space this would be super easy. I was amazed how well engineered this structure is. This thing is awesome. The only assistance I needed was to set the roof panels on. I had the panels ready, so with 4 people, we were able to set the roof panels into place in about 1 hour. Once those were on and in place, I was able to secure them by myself. Making sure all was square and plumb; those roof panels went on very smooth. In hindsight, the only thing I should have done differently; I should have stained all wood prior to install. Also, since it was on a grade, I added (taller) customized 6" x 6" cedar posts to accommodate the grade. I plan to use the extra four 6"x6" cedar posts that came with the unit as fence and gate posts on the backside of the carport. I will add pics later.

[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 purchased this Gazebo to replace a metal Pergola covering our backyard patio. This gazebo is so much sturdier than our previous setup and with the metal roof and electrical outlets, it provides all we need. The product installation was well documented and the step by step video tutorial made it super easy to assemble without second guessing what you were doing. A few steps require a second or third person, but for the most part it was a one man assembly. We love the look and are hoping to enjoy it for years to come.

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

The gazebo turned out pretty good. Not to bad to build. My only complaint would be the wood. I thought I was getting cedar. Turns out it is Chinese cedar. It's not really cedar, but part of the cypress family. It has the same general qualities of cedar, rot resistance, keeps insects away. The wood on my gazebo is stained from the factory. The wood splits really easy and exposes the white wood underneath. Some of the bolts and fasteners broke or stripped pretty easy, but they do have a few extras in the bags. Overall it's solid and will keep the rain and sun off of us when needed.

What a beautiful product! The wife and I had long talked about having a custom gazebo built to kick off our backyard beautification projects. We eventually considered a Backyard Discovery kit because of its apparent ease. I’m glad we went with Backyard Discovery! The wood and metal hardware all appear to be of excellent quality. I can’t attest to the ease of the assembly because we hired a crew to put it together. However, it did take a small crew of 3 men nearly all day to finish. the finished product is fantastic! The family loves it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I put this together over the summer with the help of my neighbors. I worked on it an hour or two at a time and it took me about a week. I was missing one piece and backyard discovery sent it out to me right away. I also built a small deck to put it on. I'm very happy with the finished product. Everyone that comes over loves it!

I have been researching these for actually years. Finally decided to buy this one. Absolutely the right choice. The packaging was fantastic nothing got damaged in shipment. The incredible thing is the engineering of this. It takes time but goes together perfectly. Everybody who sees it cannot believe how nice it is. I called for a question and the customer service was just as good as the product. I am real happy with the entire purchasing decision!

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this in March 2023, had ot 8 months and love it. Not only does ot look beautiful but it's sturdy. It has made it through 70 plus mile an hour winds, terential downpours and a hail storm. It still look brand new. Highly recommend. It definitely takes at least three people to put together
