[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great gazebo! It seems like it was made to last. The only disappointment I had was that the legs are hollow, which is why I took one star off. Overall we are very happy with the quality and the price point. I would certainly recommend this gazebo.

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!

The instructions are extremely well. The best I've ever seen. The quality of the wood and hardware is extremely good. This far exceeded my expectations. I did not want an unfinished wood look.So I primed and painted the wood prior to building the structure

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

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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this in the spring and we love it! We love using our backyard, but if it's raining we would always have to run inside but not anymore. Now with our Norwood Gazebo we can stay cool on the hottest of days or dry when it rains!

I spent a year looking at budget options for shade in the backyard before finally deciding to splurge on the Norwood 10x12. Glad I did. Assembly was pretty straightforward, there were a couple spots where the boards were warped or the holes were a bit out of tolerance and I had to drill them a bit larger to make things line up, but that's to be expected with wood. I did most of it myself, and then recruited a few friends to help me stand it up and complete the final steps. Would recommend at least 3 helpers for standing it up and getting the roof panels on. Could be done with fewer, but more makes it much easier. Finished it with Australian Timber Oil. Looks great, nice and sturdy. The building inspector referred to it as "handsome."

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were looking to update our backyard for more outdoor living space, and saw the Norwood Gazebo. We wanted something sturdy enough to handle the weather in the northeast (rain, wind, snow, heat), and this was it. We cannot be more thrilled with how it turned out. All of our friends love it! It took a few weekends to set up, and I would say to have 3 people help to set it up. I love it, and cannot wait to keep using it!

We purchased the Norwood kit and it arrived packaged perfectly with no damage of any kind to the components. We had a family "barn raising" over the course of a few days on a new deck we had built prior to the arrival of the kit. The BILT app was amazing and helped us assemble the kit without issue. Since finishing the well-designed structure we have built a 12 foot long dining table with benches for friends and family hospitality. The Norwood design and aesthetic naturally draws people to the warm cedar environment with exposed rafters and heat deflecting solid roof. This has been one of the best investments we have ever made in our yard and for our family. (PS: A carpenter foreman friend remarked about the great quality and design of the Norwood Gazebo and was impressed by the value and family friendly assembly.)
