Started a pool patio project last year and wanted a unique and durable shade structure. After building a swing set playhouse from Backyard Discovery, I was sold on their products. First bought the 20x20 gazebo and made room for this 12x10 gazebo for a grill station. Will have to stain this fall or next spring as the sun does fade the finish.

[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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Took me about 2 months to build, only because I completely sanded it down and stained it with an oil based stain. Had help standing up frame and lifting roof panels. I assembled it all myself. Follow directions,anyone could build it. i'm 70 years old and need a hip replacement. Very nice Gazebo.

I bought this kit a few weeks ago, I must say that it is the best kit I have ever used! All parts were there and easily identified The directions were very clear and the app on the phone was also useful at times for clarity I built it in less time then estimated and impressed with the quality.

I purchased the Backyard Discovery - 16x12 Norwood Gazebo to replace a flimsy metal gazebo. I have had 2 different metal gazebos the last few years & I have had to replace the cloth canopies 3 times even though I removed them in the fall. It was getting quite expensive to keep fixing them. I am sooo glad I found this Norwood gazebo because it is extremely strong & sturdy and it looks great!! Although it is initially more expensive than the cheap gazebos I had been purchasing, my new Norwood gazebo should last a long time, and without having to mess around removing and reinstalling a canopy seasonally. Another great feature is the power distribution box. I am planning to put lights & a TV in it so this adds even more value. They have a website that shows how to easily assemble it & I would recommend to anyone purchasing one to refer to it. I am extremely happy with my purchase & would absolutely recommend it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our big project this summer was to add a swim spa to our back patio. As we live on a heavily wooded lot, we decided to purchase a gazebo to erect over the pool in order to afford it some protection from falling branches, leaves, etc. After much research, we chose Backyard Discovery's 12'x16" Norwood. We settled on this company due to their consistently positive reviews, high quality & attractive designs. Our gazebo was delievered quickly & complete. Instructions were straightforward & easy to understand, with everything clearly labeled. This may sound like a small detail, but on a large project like this it makes a big difference: Drilled holes were where they were supposed to be & bolts aligned as projected, making assembly as stress-free as possible. Our gazebo is now a beautiful, functional addition to our backyard. We have been delighted with every aspect of our purchase. From choice, to deivery, assembly to contributing to the aesthetic of our home, we couldn't possibly be more happy with our Backyard Discovery gazebo.

The gazebo assembly went really well, and it looks great adjacent to the house. I did not appreciate getting an email the day I received it saying that to maintain my warranty, I would have to perform labor on the gazebo that would far exceed the cost. Better to just tell customers there is no warranty, as that would have been more truthful.

We purchased the Norwood 16x12 in June for our property close to the lake here in Montana. We just got it built a week ago with the help of friends who were able to come up and stay. With the 3 of them it took 2 days. It is fabulous. It provides great shade throughout the day and is a great place to sit and drink coffee in the morning. I'm just sorry it took so long to get it up because our time here for the season is coming to an end but knowing it will be here when we come back is great. We picked Backyard Discovery because of the weather rating. Winters in northeast Montana can be very brutal so we are hoping it holds up well. It is anchored in 3 ft footings and one of our friends that helped build it is a structural engineer and said he was very impressed with the materials and how strong it is. He's thinking about getting one. Everyone that drives by does a double take looking at it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Using as a Gazebo. A neighbor put up the same size gazebo from Backyard Discovery, but the hip roof version and it looked great on a poured patio. My relative then put up this version a month later and I also preferred this model for a better sky view (we don't have a mosquito problem). Took about 60 total hours to complete this build.

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!
