A little more information about the orientation early in the instruction. I did not get the orientation correct on a item or two

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this in July and put it together by myself (had help sliding on roof panels) over a week, working on it 2-3 hours each day. Between the price, quality, value, and how it looks I don't think you'd find a better deal anywhere. I took my time, double checked the instructions, and it all came together.

Given the global logistics issues, it is understandable that this China-made product will be delayed. But the delivery issues were "last mile" with the US-based group. Once we got it, though, we were very pleased. The materials are good quality, instructions are sufficient and parts labels are very helpful. It does take a few strong people and at least 10 hours to assemble, so be prepared. The product support, including an app, seem like an advantage, too. We hope to enjoy this for a while.

Tired of DIY gazebos that will not hold up to the Nevada desert winds? Time for a real gazebo! The Norwood is the mother-of-all-gazebos and will stand strong, through wind, rain, snow, and whatever else nature throws at it. Pro tip: Treat yourself to the "installation included" option and save your marriage and friendships. After all, you'll want those same people in your gazebo!

I researched different companies. None of then compared in quality. Sure you could spend less, but it would not be half the quality. The packaging is great. The lumber was in good condition. It is a big project. There are so many parts. Please keep everything organized. It probably should require 4 strong people, but helpers don't usually appear. My wife, son, and myself did the whole project in 2 days. I'm 54, my wife is 36, and my son is 13. The project goes together pretty straight forward. Have the correct tools and read twice. They do provide extra hardware in case you lose one. Overall we have been extremely thrilled. I would highly recommend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have thoroughly enjoyed this gazebo for the last few months. Looks great on my patio. My dealing with customer service after purchase was excellent. Look forward to enjoying my gazebo for years to come!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this gazebo for my backyard project and it really looks amazing. Instructions provided are very detailed, easy to follow and the option of downloading an app in your phone or computer for visual instructions is really helpful. It allows you to zoom, rotate and basically see every step of the construction from different angles. For sure you will need help from another person to complete some of the assembly steps and maybe a third person when you get to the roof installation. Having all the parts very well identified and with all holes pre-drilled facilitate the work a lot. After completed, I added lights, a fan and a roller shade. Overall I am very happy with it and would recommend 100%. Attached some photos for your reference.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this in May 2023. The basic build out was well explained and easy to assemble with one helper. However, it took me six months to fully complete my install, doing a little at a time. It's now fully enclosed with an additional 6x10' adjoining space. It's my full outdoor kitchen with seating for 4, a propane firepit & table, a 4 burner 36" Blackstone griddle, 4 burner 39" Charbroil grille, 2 storage cabinets, a waste bin, a deep sink, overhead fan and exhaust fan, controlled lighting, and rain gutters. I can use fully enclosed or open air. It's a wonderful addition.

I had a son pass a little over a year ago so when we bought an acreage recently I wanted to build something in his honor. After doing a lot of research I opted for the Backyard Norwood gazebo. Since it’s usually windy here I liked the wind rating and thought the unit was well styled. I started by building the patio then erected the gazebo. I’m 67 years old and pretty much put this up by myself with the help of a bucket tractor getting the first wall up. Someone had said it helped having someone dedicated to reading the instructions so my wife did that which helped quite a bit. My oldest helped with getting half the roof up but wasn’t around for anything else so I put the other half up by myself doing the framing first then the panels. It actually fell right in place. Because of my schedule I couldn’t devote whole days to the project but time wise it was probably a 3 day deal. Lots of hardware, lol, but I can see why it’s so sturdy. I’m thrilled with how it’s turned out and plan on spending a lot of time celebrating my son there. I wasn’t excited about paying the price but I’m happy I did. Highly recommend it.

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!
