Retired life in Yuma, AZ is the best. However, as the "Sunniest City in the World" with an average of 308 days of sun, shade is a valuable commodity. We chose the Backyard Discovery 16x12 gazebo for its substantial good looks. The cedar is beautiful, the steel roof is no maintenance, the power strip with USB ports was an added bonus for lights, electronics, and cooking. We are proud to show it off. This is our happy place for cards with friends, dinners, and parties. Don't wait, do it now. You'll love it.

We’ve had this gazebo installed for a year. Stained every board before installation. Put it together by myself except for installing the roof panels. The instructions were very easy to follow. Sitting here, by the lake, with the soft rain sprinkles making music on the roof is just about the best thing I can imagine. I’d recommend this gazebo to anyone anywhere.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased two of these gazebos for the HOA park. They made a great addition and look really nice. Excellent looking construction. The team of assemblers put them together expediently. One post came with some shipping gouges and customer service was quick to send out a replacement. Forgive the white specks in the photos, we are getting ready to test the snow load. Now we just need to find someone who can build a matching unit 24x12.

We purchased the Norwood kit and it arrived packaged perfectly with no damage of any kind to the components. We had a family "barn raising" over the course of a few days on a new deck we had built prior to the arrival of the kit. The BILT app was amazing and helped us assemble the kit without issue. Since finishing the well-designed structure we have built a 12 foot long dining table with benches for friends and family hospitality. The Norwood design and aesthetic naturally draws people to the warm cedar environment with exposed rafters and heat deflecting solid roof. This has been one of the best investments we have ever made in our yard and for our family. (PS: A carpenter foreman friend remarked about the great quality and design of the Norwood Gazebo and was impressed by the value and family friendly assembly.)

This carport is beautiful and very well designed. Installation is very tedious. You have to be willing to take your time. The Bilt app is great, however the roof rafters and soffit pieces are very confusing and it is difficult to tell which pieces go with which. I meased this up on several panels. The green plastic wrap on the metal sheeting takes an unduly long time to remove. It is a test of patience but the finished product is sturdy and attractive. It's a trade - off!

This unit is well made and sturdy, but be forewarned. There are hundreds of pieces and hundreds of screws and bolt. It is not hard to put together if follow the directions and try to look ahead to see what it is that you are doing. I did 95% of it by myself, but I had plenty of time to do. If you have access to help take it. Things will go alot smoother. There were no missing parts. However one sheating board was cut wrong and I had to recut the lap and drill new holes, no big deal. Overall I'm very pleased with unit.

Bought the 12x10 Norwood gazebo the end of March (2025). We love it!!! Was looking for a budget friendly gazebo that was decent quality and looked nice. Was assembled in a weekend, all pieces were marked and the instructional video was easy to follow. We love it so much that we are looking at the greenhouses they offer.

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!

Based on the reviews I read before purchasing I expected to be very pleased with the product and overall experience - including the assembly process. I can say that this expectation was met! The product was packaged well and arrived completely undamaged. The assembly instructions were straightforward and easy to follow. That said - preparing and assembling this item is a BIG job... We decided to stain all of our wood pieces before assembling, which in hindsight I'm very glad we went this route. I did most of the work on my own, but there are several steps where several people are definitely needed. Getting the roof panels on, squared and attached was a bit of a challenge, but we got it all in place after some trial and error. The entire process took several weekends to complete. It's been up for couple of weeks now and has already been through several rain storms and a couple of thunderstorms. Happy to say it's held up w/o any issues!

Quality of components is top-notch and packaging was well thought out to avoid damage to any of the pieces. Every piece was there and accounted for in the boxes and assembly went exactly as described in the instructions. This is a super solid and heavy gazebo, so 2 adults is definitely needed to erect this building. Plan on 2 pretty full days of assembly with 2 people. The cedar looks and smells amazing.
