It is a very strong and extremely well engineered Gazebo. I found the instructions easy to understand but it definitely requires 3 people to stand up. Personally I would install the roof rafters to the structure first then use a stepladder to screw the sheet metal roofing on. We truly enjoy ours.

We love our 10X10 Norwood Gazebo. All of the pieces were packaged well to prevent shipping damage, and the steel roof panels were even in a protective wooden box. The five shipping boxes were clearly labeled on the outsides and the packing slips in each box showed which pieces were in the box, making it easy to find the needed pieces during assembly. All of the hardware (including extras) was packaged in clearly marked bags, and each wooden piece was clearly marked on the ends. (I suggest laying out the hardware packages on a table - out of the wind - in numerical order. And if you can't find a certain bag, look again because it's there somewhere.) Assembly instructions were excellent, and there is also a helpful animated video to help understand the assembly. Assembly takes some time because of the number of bolts and screws, but that attests to the quality and strength of the gazebo. I was able to assemble the gazebo myself except for assembling the two end pieces together (three of us, twenty minutes) and sliding the roof pieces up on top (two of us, ten minutes). The finished gazebo is very attractive, high quality, and strong. I would definitely recommend this gazebo.

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!

This is a great addition to our backyard. It gives us plenty of shade in the SC heat. The interior allows for a host of add ons for your liking such as mounting a TV, adding shelves, or adding hanging decorative lighting. I wish I knew the exact brand and stain color for the gazebo in order to prepare to restain when necessary in the future. This project will take a minimum of two people to complete by the way. I had another friend help me, but we are construction savvy. We have also purchased the grill cover style gazebo. I suggest it as well to match this gazebo!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very pleased with this Gazebo that replaced the Metal one that was destroyed by Hurricane Ian. Very Sturdy and has held up to the weather where we are right on the water. The electrical box already on the Gazebo made it easy to hook it up for electricity. Paid for crew to erect the unit and they were very knowable and professional.

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.

I was debating for a few weeks to purchase this carport and was worried about the quality of material. I decided to pull the trigger and am very pleased with the Norwood Carport/Gazebo. We have set up an outdoor dining area in our backyard and it provides adequate shade during the hot summer months. 5-stars!

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!

We’ve had this gazebo installed for a year. Stained every board before installation. Put it together by myself except for installing the roof panels. The instructions were very easy to follow. Sitting here, by the lake, with the soft rain sprinkles making music on the roof is just about the best thing I can imagine. I’d recommend this gazebo to anyone anywhere.

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.
