We needed some shade for our 1960’s brick patio and I finally decided on the Norwood 16 x 12. We are extremely happy with it and the beauty of the cedar pairs so well with the old brick! I had 2 friends (one was a retired contractor) help and we finished it just short of 3 days. Our patio slants downhill some so we had to pour some good size concrete pilings. We followed the written directions and the app and only had to back up a couple of times. We are using it as a cook shed and outdoor bar. We even came up with a few suggestions for ease of putting it together! Extremely pleased!!

I added 4 feet to the carport height to house my 18 foot travel trailer. I inserted 3.5” x 3.5” x 2’ posts into each 7’ post. I then sandwiched (2) 6” x 1.25” x 4’ cedar boards & (2) 3.5” X 1.25” to the center posts. I then attached the provided baseplates to the new extension posts. The build from that point was normal.

I bought this because it looked like a good value, and everything was included. I pre stained mine, and I would recommend doing it, It will add a couple of days to the assembly time. I was short some hardware. Most of the hardware bags had 1 extra piece , however some were short several pieces. I did erect this myself, except for the roof, with many saw horses, and scaffolding.

My husband got me this as a birthday gift a year ago. It’s been a delightful addition to our back patio and we have enjoyed it daily. It provides a wonderful shady spot for our outdoor table and chairs set. Assembly did take quite a few hours but the directions were clear.

We just got our 12x20 and are almost done with the assembly. The booklet and the app provide very clear instructions on putting it together. That is incredibly helpful. My husband and I have mostly done the work but because it’s springtime, the weather has been our obstacle. We love it so much already that we purchased the grillzebo to match. My son graduates high school in May and we are looking forward to celebrating with him on the new patio with friends and family. We will finally have an outdoor space we have looked forward to for years.

We purchased this gazebo from a big box store and built it ourselves. The final product is great, we have really been enjoying it! 4/5 stars because some of the instructions could have been more clear, and some of the parts in the kit were missing or incorrect. Backyard Discovery was great in that they shipped us new and correct parts, no questions asked.

This product came in several boxes, safely and appropriately packed. None of the cartons were too heavy that they couldn't be easily moved with a standard hand truck. My wife and I spent the first afternoon building each end piece. The following day, we built the middle section. With the help of a neighbor, we were able to assemble all three sections of the frame in less than 40 minutes. We had to wait one or two days because of bad weather, but managed to install all four roof sections in about 2 hours time. All In all, we took less than 6 hours to construct the entire gazebo.

[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.

We love the gazebo and had it installed by Sam’s. We didn’t know it at the time but the roofing metal had a blue film to protect it from getting scratched during shipment. The installer either didn’t know or just didn’t bother to take it off. Now it is coming off on its own and it looks terrible. I would give this product a 5 if it wasn’t for this issue with the plastic film. It is to get it the removed now.

I love this gazebo. It’s a great size for a dinner table and several lounge chairs. Installed a ceiling fan and bulb decorative lights. I chose version with electrical line and had contractor connect it to the house. Sturdy construction and looks beautiful. My teen son even gets maximum enjoyment from it!
