[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We couldn’t be happier with this product. It’s gorgeous and provides shade for our patio that is in the sun all day, returning it to the shady, relaxing spot it was before we lost our shade tree. We added strings of lights that allow us to enjoy the space beyond dusk as well. We paid for installation and it was so worth it. The team finished in one day what likely would have taken us 3 if we had lots of help.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this gazebo for my backyard and it’s a beautiful addition to my landscaping. The gazebo is well built and the package included everything that was needed to put it together along with detailed instructions. The contractor that installed it for me was so impressed with the product that he recommended it to several of his customers.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very pleased with this Gazebo that replaced the Metal one that was destroyed by Hurricane Ian. Very Sturdy and has held up to the weather where we are right on the water. The electrical box already on the Gazebo made it easy to hook it up for electricity. Paid for crew to erect the unit and they were very knowable and professional.

Great product and love the look. We were able to build and install in two weekends. Definitely needed 4 people to set the walls in place. Parts were perfectly labeled and the video instructions were invaluable. Great asset to building the finished product.

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.] It was delivered in late Sept, but sat in my driveway until early Nov. because I couldn't find someone to help me assemble. So I had some time off and decided to try it alone, and I'm glad I did. Everything is well labeled, all the components, and multiple bags of connectors and other parts. I set up all my sawhorses to stack and organize the amazing smelling cedar components. I commandeered my picnic table to arrange all the connector bags by type and number. I downloaded Bilt, and between it and the printed instructions, I made good headway putting things together over a few days. Then it came time to raise the Gable ends, which definitely needs at least 2 people to do. I drafted my fiance to help after work, and in the dark, we got it standing up and put together. Then, a few more days of working alone assembling all of the roof panels on the ground. I found and hired a local handyman to help me with lifting the roof panels into place and securing them and I'm glad I did. This is the most difficult part of the assembly, and it was at times frustrating and left us scratching our heads. The holes for securing the upper facia to the ridge rafter are poorly located, where you cannot use a power tool to drive the bolts. Furthermore, you have to support the roof panel while simultaneously screwing the bolts in by hand with the torx wrench, or else the load of the panel on the bolt as you try to screw it in makes it impossible. Finally, the bolts are being received by T-nuts inside the ridge rafter, and a few of those came loose to the point that the bolts weren't screwing into anything. Very frustrating, but we got just enough of them in to hold the panels in place. The first four panels are "easy" to place before securing, but the last ones on each side are difficult to fit. We also found that the holes in the rafter truss' did not match up with the holes in the roof rafters. More head scratching, eventually drilling/securing the truss' in place when we made sure that everything was keeping its correct dimensions. It took 2 of us 6 hours to place the roof, but we got it done. With the ladder still up, I drove a few 2.5" deck screws through the upper fascia boards into the ridge rafter to make sure the panels were well secured. I had to then travel for a week of work, so I have yet to place the ridge cap and drip edges, and as can be seen in the photos, snow has come to Northern Michigan. My car is clean underneath, and, despite the challenges in assembly, I am VERY PLEASED with the finished product. It looks better than ANY of the other pergolas I considered, and 90% of the assembly experience was perfect and easy. I look forward to many years of shade and dryness under it, and I am so happy I spent my money on a Backyard Discovery product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this in the spring and we love it! We love using our backyard, but if it's raining we would always have to run inside but not anymore. Now with our Norwood Gazebo we can stay cool on the hottest of days or dry when it rains!

The kit arrived at an incredibly busy time for me. We had just moved and I had many tasked to complete before leaving the country for two weeks. On Sunday night I decided my slate was open for Monday so I began reading and trying to understand the assembly instructions. Monday at 5:00 AM I began unboxing and stacking pieces in a logical placement. With a few breaks to recover from the heat, I had the gazebo erected and fully complete at 7:30 PM. We are thrilled with how this looks and are now excited to return to out home in 7 days to begin enjoying this idyllic space created under our Backyard Discovery 16x12 Norwood Gazebo. What a wonderful addition to our yard.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased beautiful gazebo about 6 months ago. Absolute best outdoor investment no regrets. Great for morning coffee time and relaxing while watching kids play in backyard. Excellent Family Backyard Getaway for the ages!

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!
