Both Built and the instructions are very lacking. They tell you after the fact there are things to do before tightening the hardware. They both need a preparation page the tells what the pages ahead for each task are. We had to redo several things. The ridge cap construction leaves a lot to be desired. Not rigid enough due to the use of short boards. We will purchase single length boards and redo this It takes more than 2 people and 15 hours.

We love our new gazebo. We bought this beautiful and durable shelter this summer. Our expectations have been exceeded because of the craftsmanship built into every piece. Everyone that comes to backyard is amazed at this new gathering place. Thank you this product it is impressive

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everything went great, the support staff was great and supplied tools great! The greatest thing was the carports made it thru two very bad storms, with wind gusts up to 120 mph, and they were both fine no issues at all, excellent materials.

What a beautiful product! The wife and I had long talked about having a custom gazebo built to kick off our backyard beautification projects. We eventually considered a Backyard Discovery kit because of its apparent ease. I’m glad we went with Backyard Discovery! The wood and metal hardware all appear to be of excellent quality. I can’t attest to the ease of the assembly because we hired a crew to put it together. However, it did take a small crew of 3 men nearly all day to finish. the finished product is fantastic! The family loves it!

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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought our gazebo in April 2023 and it has been the best addition to our yard. It gives us much needed shade and is a great entertaining space. The wood is beautiful and has stood up to some crazy summer storms already. Assembly was very easy! I built most parts myself and my husband helped with the heavy lifting and putting the assembled pieces together. We added curtains, lights and a TV and have a whole outdoor space that we use most of the year. If we ever move, I’d buy another Backyard Discovery gazebo in a heartbeat!

I spent a year looking at budget options for shade in the backyard before finally deciding to splurge on the Norwood 10x12. Glad I did. Assembly was pretty straightforward, there were a couple spots where the boards were warped or the holes were a bit out of tolerance and I had to drill them a bit larger to make things line up, but that's to be expected with wood. I did most of it myself, and then recruited a few friends to help me stand it up and complete the final steps. Would recommend at least 3 helpers for standing it up and getting the roof panels on. Could be done with fewer, but more makes it much easier. Finished it with Australian Timber Oil. Looks great, nice and sturdy. The building inspector referred to it as "handsome."

We purchased this to provide shade and protection on our property in the Wyoming mountains, and have enjoyed it thoroughly since we have had it up. We chose this for the structural ratings given, and after completing the assembly, am confident that the structure will meet and exceed expectations!. The directions were great and easy to follow, and everything lined up perfectly! It is as appealing as it is sound. Highly recommend!

After having a gazebo buckle under the weight of a heavy snowstorm, we wanted one that we knew would withstand our harsh midwestern winters as well as our strong summer storms. After a lot of research, we decided on the 12 x 10 Brindlewood! Ordering this gazebo was quick and easy, and so was the delivery. It even arrived much earlier than we thought it would. All the different parts and the five boxes they came in were well sorted, packed, and labeled. My husband and daughter were able to put it together without any problem because of the thorough and easy to follow instructions. Our gazebo looks beautiful and fits perfectly with the landscape of our backyard. We are looking forward to spending a lot of time in our new Happy Place!

It was too expensive to build a percent roof covering our back deck. This gazebo did the trick. We installed a sun shade to stop the evening sun so we can enjoy the tranquility of our back yard. And cookout without getting rained on. Would definitely buy again. I put most of it together by myself. You definitely need two or three people to slide the roof panels in place.
