[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A little piece of heaven! What a wonderful addition to our yard! The Norwood is extraordinarily sturdy , and made of quality wood! The roof is strong and can truly withstand our northeast weather! The entire gazebo has been well thought out…The angles, color, and accents are all beautiful. We chose to have our gazebo delivered and put together. The team that came was wonderful! They worked together like a fine tuned clock. We love our gazebo! The added electric with usb ports just made the Norwood that much more special. A sturdy addition to our deck. Don’t wait….get one today!!!!

[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.

[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.

Bought 3 weeks ago to add permanent durable shelter over existing spa. Very easy or order. Good price (eligible for military discount…Thank you!) Shipping was very smooth. They sent tracking number and I followed transit. Arrived one day early and we are at 4300 ft altitude on side of mountain. It ships as Several large boxes on pallet. Two boxes are plywood lined. Everything arrived intact. No damage. We unboxed systematically onto covered deck and organized all pieces according to steps of construction. We made sure we organized hardware very carefully in several bowls. Build tip! Keep the plastic bags for all hardware under each set of bolts and screws. Each screw bag has the item number printed on it that corresponds to the instruction manual. My wife helped move big assembled pieces and helped with heavy lifting but I did all construction by myself. YOU NEED AT LEAST 2 STRONG PEOPLE CAPABLE OF LIFTING AT LEAST 50 LBS OVERHEAD TO BUILD THIS SAFELY. Instruction manual is pretty good. The diagrams get a little bit complicated on several steps and I believe it could be broken down into several smaller additional steps that would help prevent confusion and provide more detail to the builder.The videos online are pretty good, but even they don’t show some of the detail necessary. I would recommend a color build manual with photos of critical steps to backyard discovery. Some of the orientation of some parts are hard to identify from the diagrams and videos. I got at least three pieces backward and had to disassemble and reassemble correctly despite being extremely careful and taking my time. Everything fit very precisely. The cedar post and beams are all pre-drilled high-quality so if there’s no hole at a location, or a bolt doesn’t fit through completely, its wrong. The framing went very smoothly, but it was difficult for my wife and I to move the two large end frames sections into position safely and attach them together square on our pre-prepared footings. Note: I prepared 4 concrete footings according to the PDF file of the instruction manual on Backyard discovery website a week in advance to spec. If you already have a level concrete slab that’s even easier. The post and cornice framing portion went very smoothly with hardly any problems. It took me approximately six hours to complete by myself. The second stage for the roofing was quite difficult. It took an additional six hours by itself. The roof framing is very flimsy in my opinion and had to be force fit working overhead. I squared the framing and squared the roofing before I placed roof and it still didn’t quite fit right. It was too flexible and bendable and would get off Square when you are trying to push it up over the framing. It was very challenging to get right. I found this part to be most difficult and I have significant experience in construction. Build note: The blue protective film on the steel corrugated sheets and roofing is terrible. It is tightly adherent to the pieces and extremely difficult to remove. We tried to use hair dryers, nope. We left the pieces out in the sun, nope. Last we tried to use some lubricating solvents nope. it took us over two hours alone to remove the film one inch st a time. Backyard discovery needs to find a different solution for this. It’s unnecessarily difficult. (This is the only reason that I give this product four stars instead of five stars!!) Note: i’m not sure why there is no flashing between the corrugated steel roofing sheets and the end cornice framing? If built exactly according to the manual, it results in 1/4 inch gap that would result in roof leak inside the frame at both ends? I was able to take some steel sheeting and cut it to create additional flashing to cover this gap. I did this entirely by hand on site. (This is another issue that backyard discovery should address with this particular model) If you have good weather and a level site with prepared footings or slab I would recommend at least two full days. 2-very strong or 3 less strong people. Otherwise, it could take much more time… Overall, it’s very beautiful and extremely strong once completed. I weigh almost 200 pounds and I hung from the frames at both ends to ensure that they were completely seated and stable before finishing the roof. I would recommend this product to anyone with professional tools and some building experience, but I would probably recommend professional help if you don’t have any construction or finish carpentry experience. One thing that was extremely nice, was all the additional hardware that came with it including all the necessary drill bits and a small torx wrench for some hard to reach corners where a battery operated drill would not fit. I set up two professional battery operated drills with 4 rotating batteries to make the process go much quicker so that I didn’t have to change bits and wait to charge batteries. I burned through at least two batteries on each drill with all the bolts and screws. Especially the roofing. Great product. Very well made. Good luck!

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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased two of these gazebos for the HOA park. They made a great addition and look really nice. Excellent looking construction. The team of assemblers put them together expediently. One post came with some shipping gouges and customer service was quick to send out a replacement. Forgive the white specks in the photos, we are getting ready to test the snow load. Now we just need to find someone who can build a matching unit 24x12.

After having a gazebo buckle under the weight of a heavy snowstorm, we wanted one that we knew would withstand our harsh midwestern winters as well as our strong summer storms. After a lot of research, we decided on the 12 x 10 Brindlewood! Ordering this gazebo was quick and easy, and so was the delivery. It even arrived much earlier than we thought it would. All the different parts and the five boxes they came in were well sorted, packed, and labeled. My husband and daughter were able to put it together without any problem because of the thorough and easy to follow instructions. Our gazebo looks beautiful and fits perfectly with the landscape of our backyard. We are looking forward to spending a lot of time in our new Happy Place!

I bought this a few weeks ago and it’s one of the nicest units in its price range. I love the fact that it’s appearance is sturdy. My only issues are that they use a water based stain that must be sealed to comply with the warranty. Also the fact that the instructions require the screws to not extend past the end of the hole in the wood, the screws supplied if they were just a bit longer to meet with the edge of the hole approximately (1/4” / 6mm) would significantly decrease the installation issues. Other then that I’m extremely happy with the gazebo.

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 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.
