I recently completed erecting this gazebo and I found it to be more difficult to assemble than I thought it would be. I felt that the hardware could have been more simplified being too many different parts and assembling the wood to coincide with it became a chore. I would highly recommend the lay person not attempting to do it yourself.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually bought this cover for a side porch and it is a great fit! This is my second Backyard Discovery purchase. I loved the quality of my 20x12 Norwood gazebo so much that I purchased this one while my other was being assembled. A neighbor saw both while passing and stopped to say how nice they looked. I've received quite a few compliments on both! And they really do cut out some of the summer heat, a definite plus! No regrets on this purchase! I have one more area to cover and it will definitely be one from Backyard Discovery.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Acadia 20x9.5 gazebo early this year and am extremely pleased with it. All of the wood is perfectly cut and the instruction made building a breeze. This was definitely worth the money and I highly recommend this product!

I purchased this Gazebo approximately 1 month ago in July 2025. It went together very well and the instructions were east to follow. The only problem I had was the anchor bolts. Once I had completed the project I went to anchor the Gazebo to the ground. I made sure not to over tighten the bolts to the concrete. The next day when I went outside I found that 6 of the bolt heads had snaped off right at ground level or just below the concrete. This made it impossible to remove the bolts to replace. I had to get a different anchor bolt for the four legs. I went with another type and more heavy duty. Other than that the product is great and I look forward to having it for many years.

I opted for this size gazebo because it is just small enough to not require a permit in our municipality. The quality of construction is outstanding and it very, very solid. We paid for the installation at the time of ordering. The guys were quick and efficient and did in 2-3 hours what would have likely taken me 2-3 days! The only thing to be aware of is that the packages where delivered to our driveway and where EXTREMELY heavy to move to a more secure location while we waited for our install appointment. Plan on having some very strong people around to move them!

This 20x20 carport kit arrived in 11 boxes. When we opened them, there was hundreds of boards and several hundred bolts, nuts, screws, washers and brackets. This could all be intimidating! But, my wife (age 71) and I (age 75), sorted out the lumber and applied an outdoor stain to all of the pieces. We also sorted out the hardware. Luckily, my 75th birthday party coincided with the need to erect the nine vertical posts, so we had help. You really do need extra people for this step. After that, it was all on my wife and I. Took us about three days to finish, working short days because of the heat. A few things to note: Every drilled hole was exactly in the right place. However, on some occasions, boards had to be flopped to align the holes, otherwise you'd think the holes were drilled in the wrong spots. Try not to leave the untreated boards out in the blazing sun. They will twist. Be careful on opening the bags of hardware to keep all of the pieces in their bags, and to be able to read the numbers on the ripped-open bags. You cannot spend too much time squaring the roof. We must have measured it 20-25 times as we went along, before putting up the metal panels, as each time we worked on plumbing the posts and installing the rafters required a slight adjustment. As it was, we were 1/4 inch off, and that 1/4 inch did show up when we put on the metal panels. We installed this carport onto a concrete barn floor laid about 100 years ago. They made concrete tough in those days. Several of the screws we drilled into the concrete snapped off just as they were getting tight. (This also happened with concrete screws we bought at Home Depot, so not necessarily the result of low quality screws by the company.) While the instructions say not to get on the roof, unless you have long, long arms, you do have to either sit on the roof beams or lean way over to screw in the metal roofing panels. But I never felt any weakness from the structure when doing so. Oh, I was lucky and had a dental procedure this summer which has limited my eating. Consequently, I lost about 20 pounds. You need to be lean to fit through the holes between rafters in order screw in the panels from above. By following the instructions (and reading ahead a few pages) this project was very do-able for us. It turned out so beautiful that even our neighbor, who is a building contractor and perfectionist, has complimented us. It does the job of keeping our car and other vehicles dry and is a wonderful addition. We would recommend this carport.

AWESOME BUT WAY TOO MANY PARTS / screws/bolts etc

Perfect addition to our house, very stylish and sturdy, I am Happy and my Car is Happy.

I would recommend this for anyone needing extra space for a smoker and a grill. Love the table tops makes it easy to bring food to cook and take off or for company while you bbq. The instructions were very well thought out and it is easy to follow.
