I paid extra to have it assembled and it was a good thing. It took about 5 hours for 3 experienced men to do. I couldn’t have done it in a week. The only reason I didn’t rate this for five is because the anchor bolts that go into the concrete were not adequate. I had to buy my own at a hardware store to make it anchored properly.

Very well made and sturdy. Well worth the money. Follow the instructions and you'll have it built in a day. Takes two to put together, but need minimal 3 to put roof up. Make sure you secure one of the roof panels, before putting up the second one. I didn't do this and it slid off. Was able to repair and paint, but was not happy. It was my fault, because I did not follow instructions and put screws in to secure it before putting second roof panel. You don't have to climb on top of the roof. Saw it on a video and was worried, but you don't have to. The most time consuming part of install was the amount of hardware.

The instruction are incredible. Each step lists all items that are needed for that step. It all comes together like it should. We took our time and made it in less than three days. Enjoy the shade and being able to sit outside when it is raining.

I bought this gazebo and was amazed at the quality and details! It is really quite beautiful! The materials are high end and durable, I am very pleased with the gazebo! I am now able to enjoy spending beautiful evenings... rain or shine... in my yard watching nature!

[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!

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.

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)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love, love, LOVE, our gazebo! We do a lot of outdoor entertaining and this gazebo was PERFECT for our yard. We chose to stain the wood to match our tiki shed. We customized it further with tiki/ beach themed items and an outdoor T.V. We get so many compliments from our guests! The gazebo kit arrived with easy to follow instructions and my husband was able to assemble it with only a little help along the way. This is a quality product and is very well made. The hardware accents the wood. We are extremely happy with our purchase and would definitely recommend it to others.

We love our 10X10 Norwood Gazebo. All of the pieces were packaged well to prevent shipping damage, and the steel roof panels were even in a protective wooden box. The five shipping boxes were clearly labeled on the outsides and the packing slips in each box showed which pieces were in the box, making it easy to find the needed pieces during assembly. All of the hardware (including extras) was packaged in clearly marked bags, and each wooden piece was clearly marked on the ends. (I suggest laying out the hardware packages on a table - out of the wind - in numerical order. And if you can't find a certain bag, look again because it's there somewhere.) Assembly instructions were excellent, and there is also a helpful animated video to help understand the assembly. Assembly takes some time because of the number of bolts and screws, but that attests to the quality and strength of the gazebo. I was able to assemble the gazebo myself except for assembling the two end pieces together (three of us, twenty minutes) and sliding the roof pieces up on top (two of us, ten minutes). The finished gazebo is very attractive, high quality, and strong. I would definitely 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!
