[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this 14x12 Norwood kit a couple of months ago and recently got a chance to put it all together. I just followed the instructions that came with the unit and it went together relatively easy. I do have some building experience so that helped. This is a beautiful, structurally sound unit. Very pleased with how it came out.

We purchased and installed the Norwood 14x12 gazebo in June 2022. Everything from the ordering process, delivery, customer service and build was perfect! The Bilt app was fantastic to use on this project. This was a great family project to build together. The quality of all wood, hardware and metal roof was very high quality. This gazebo withstood 60+ MPH winds and a Northeast winter with no issues. We have received so many compliments and referred many to Backyard Discovery. We highly recommend and plan to purchase more items from Backyard Discovery.

I bought this gazebo to replace an existing Tiki hut with a deteriorating thatched roof. I love the clean lines of this structure and how it fits into my poolside space. I especially like the durability of the metal roof and the wind rating (we’ve had two major storms this year with tropical storm force winds and no damage to report)

I'm so glad I purchased this carport. Originally, we were going to build on an additional garage, but after getting quotes on a project that size, we started looking at other options. Settled on the Norwood Carport by Backyard Discovery and man I'm glad we went this route. I'm 63 and somewhat handy with building things, so I put it together myself. Obviously, doing it by myself posed a few challenges, but all in all it was a breeze. Very simple install. The step by step directions (included) were great, and the labeling of the pieces was perfect. Total install took me about 2 weeks to complete, but that included some special concrete footings which I poured myself since I was installing it on a slight grade (and it was winter) On a flat space this would be super easy. I was amazed how well engineered this structure is. This thing is awesome. The only assistance I needed was to set the roof panels on. I had the panels ready, so with 4 people, we were able to set the roof panels into place in about 1 hour. Once those were on and in place, I was able to secure them by myself. Making sure all was square and plumb; those roof panels went on very smooth. In hindsight, the only thing I should have done differently; I should have stained all wood prior to install. Also, since it was on a grade, I added (taller) customized 6" x 6" cedar posts to accommodate the grade. I plan to use the extra four 6"x6" cedar posts that came with the unit as fence and gate posts on the backside of the carport. I will add pics later.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was delivered in late Sept, but sat in my driveway until early Nov. because I couldn't find someone to help me assemble. So I had some time off and decided to try it alone, and I'm glad I did. Everything is well labeled, all the components, and multiple bags of connectors and other parts. I set up all my sawhorses to stack and organize the amazing smelling cedar components. I commandeered my picnic table to arrange all the connector bags by type and number. I downloaded Bilt, and between it and the printed instructions, I made good headway putting things together over a few days. Then it came time to raise the Gable ends, which definitely needs at least 2 people to do. I drafted my fiance to help after work, and in the dark, we got it standing up and put together. Then, a few more days of working alone assembling all of the roof panels on the ground. I found and hired a local handyman to help me with lifting the roof panels into place and securing them and I'm glad I did. This is the most difficult part of the assembly, and it was at times frustrating and left us scratching our heads. The holes for securing the upper facia to the ridge rafter are poorly located, where you cannot use a power tool to drive the bolts. Furthermore, you have to support the roof panel while simultaneously screwing the bolts in by hand with the torx wrench, or else the load of the panel on the bolt as you try to screw it in makes it impossible. Finally, the bolts are being received by T-nuts inside the ridge rafter, and a few of those came loose to the point that the bolts weren't screwing into anything. Very frustrating, but we got just enough of them in to hold the panels in place. The first four panels are "easy" to place before securing, but the last ones on each side are difficult to fit. We also found that the holes in the rafter truss' did not match up with the holes in the roof rafters. More head scratching, eventually drilling/securing the truss' in place when we made sure that everything was keeping its correct dimensions. It took 2 of us 6 hours to place the roof, but we got it done. With the ladder still up, I drove a few 2.5" deck screws through the upper fascia boards into the ridge rafter to make sure the panels were well secured. I had to then travel for a week of work, so I have yet to place the ridge cap and drip edges, and as can be seen in the photos, snow has come to Northern Michigan. My car is clean underneath, and, despite the challenges in assembly, I am VERY PLEASED with the finished product. It looks better than ANY of the other pergolas I considered, and 90% of the assembly experience was perfect and easy. I look forward to many years of shade and dryness under it, and I am so happy I spent my money on a Backyard Discovery product.

Gazebo was purchased last year, and it was the best addition to our patio. Looks great and it is very useful since we are having 4 seasons living in Arizona White Mountains covering seating area from the rain and snow. It is very sturdy and appear very durable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very pleased with my 20x12 Norwood Gazebo Kit. The purchase process was efficient, the kit arrived in excellent condition, and installation instructions were very thorough. This is a great addition to my backyard, one that I'm sure I'll enjoy for years to come.

I bought this about a month ago and built it myself following the detailed instructions. Had a couple of doubts and called Backyard discovery technical support. Mae was excellent in answering my questions and providing some extra supplies in a very timely manner. I 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this gazebo recently and couldn’t be happier with it! The quality of the wood exceeded my expectations and everyone that has seen it just Loves it. This is a Quality product for a Fair price. I live in Michigan and this provides premium shelter year round. I have added brown tarps for the winter and a patio heater and am extremely satisfied.
