I was very impressed with the quality of the Brindlewoood Gazebo , assembled by my self with some help from my wife , quality is really high, and if I had any questions, the service was absolutely fantastic, needed additional support, got it, very professional company to deal with, highly recommended. You just can’t find service like that anywhere anymore. Thanks

I purchased this for our vacation lot in Wyoming, what I really liked is the craftsman ship of the material and they rate their gazebo to specification that exceed Wyoming winter weather. Instructions are easy to follow, written very well and the mobile app helps with any questions on on assembly by giving you a 3D visual.

Outstanding gazebo. This was truly a professional kit. The cedar lumber, hardware, fasteners, directions, etc., were all top notch. I love the quality and the look. Now I don't have to worry about the wind blowing this gazebo down, nor the snow caving the roof in. The unit was delivered quickly and in perfect condition. Myself and my family love it. Our expectations were exceeded! Thank you.

I bought the Carport/Gazebo to park my new full sized pickup truck under out of the weather. This past summer was over 100 degrees, this winter started out cold and heavy rain and windy, the carport is holding up well. I’m unable to build the carport by myself, I had a contractor who had built my deck a few years ago do the job, ( So glad I did ) He and his guy leveled out where the footing go, made the framing, poured the concrete. Then they started the construction process, it took about 5 days. I’m very happy with the outcome.

I had the open area where we wanted to build some type of pergola solution. I really didn’t want something that would be attached to the house since our home is historic 140 year old farm house. So found this 16x12 pergola, I didn’t want to spend a bunch of money hiring a crew so I built it myself using a material lift. Instructions were easy to follow and I felt like the structure was well thought out, it’s elegant enough where it doesn’t feel like a do it your self Pergola. I’m considering buying smaller version for an outdoor grilling kitchen. I highly recommend this product it shipped quick and easy.

A great replacement for our old pergola. Now we can enjoy our deck even in the rain. Two of us unpacked the kit and didn’t notice one piece missing. Kudos to customer service who shipped the piece in two days! Took two of us about 18 hours to assemble, with a little help from a third. Now if it stands up to upstate NY snow it’ll be a total winner.

We bought this to add another seating space to our back yard for our son's graduation. We received several compliments from our guests. The finished piece is beautiful, my only warning is to read each step of the directions to the end before beginning the assembly. Some of the directions are a little difficult to understand even after reading them several times. This is by far not our first large assembly which required following multiple pages of directions and we still had to redo a few things after we realized we did them wrong.

I just finished construction of my Norwood 12x16. We picked the BD Norwood based on the reviews and its certified ratings for wind and snow loads. Overall, the DIY build process was great. A lot of engineering went into the design and fabrication of this product. Everything was packaged and properly identified. Nothing was damaged in shipment. The instructions were very clear but did not show how to do certain steps. A Youtube video would be helpful. I (68) did 90% of the work by myself, working 3-4 hours per day over 7 days. The hardest part was lifting and positioning the roof panels onto the structure. My wife (65) and I did this ourselves using multiple straps and step ladders to install each panel. Having additional helpers would have made the process much easier! Squaring up the structure is critical to success. At the end, we had only two bolt holes (rafter clips) that did not line up perfectly. Structurally, this gazebo is a beast and I have no doubts about its integrity. However, the appearance is probably its best feature. The gazebo is beautiful! This is a relatively easy DIY project and I would highly recommend BD as a source for any outdoor structure. Now to add the decking!

I think it should be said that this build will take considerable time for anyone who has not built one of these before. The amount fasteners and pieces in the kit is pretty daunting at first. 3 people is probably the right number for efficient assembly. I did it with 2 and some of it just myself. point of note I also raised mine 12" on pilings which added some complexity to the assembly.

The installation is a task!. But don’t be scared. Have a few friends ready to help. Especially when you get ready to lift the roof panels. Pay attention to the instructions and the positions of the wood/ bolts. Overall, fairly simple to install with common knowledge of building things. Beautiful outcome.
