We needed some shade for our 1960’s brick patio and I finally decided on the Norwood 16 x 12. We are extremely happy with it and the beauty of the cedar pairs so well with the old brick! I had 2 friends (one was a retired contractor) help and we finished it just short of 3 days. Our patio slants downhill some so we had to pour some good size concrete pilings. We followed the written directions and the app and only had to back up a couple of times. We are using it as a cook shed and outdoor bar. We even came up with a few suggestions for ease of putting it together! Extremely pleased!!

instructions were fairly clear and easy to follow with a little study. There were a couple spots where you are supposed to do one side, get down, move the ladder, repeat on the other side, repeat, repeat, repeat. It was far more logical and a lot easier to do 4 or 5 steps on one so side then the other. Materials were satisfactory except for the concrete anchors. A full third of them broke before reaching proper depth. Overall, we like it, and would get another one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this in July and put it together by myself (had help sliding on roof panels) over a week, working on it 2-3 hours each day. Between the price, quality, value, and how it looks I don't think you'd find a better deal anywhere. I took my time, double checked the instructions, and it all came together.

Purchased Dec 2022. It took three days to assemble, however we probably could have finished in two if we didn't chit chat and take a ton of breaks. Assembly went smooth and the paper instructions where put together very well. There is a 3D app that can be downloaded that also helps walk you through assembly. We referenced the app a couple times when we couldn't quite see something right in the paper instructions. Very pleased with the quality and sturdyness. Highly recommend. Would definitely.purchase again, and have been thinking about getting a size smaller for another area of the backyard.

Instructions were fairly easy to follow, installation was easy with the help of a few people and looks great put together. The impressive part is that since it was installed we've had two storms with at least 50 mph winds and one storm with 70 mph winds and the structure is intact and didn't move a bit. I had reinforced the roof a bit when installing and used some bigger anchors when connecting to the concrete but am impressed that this structure held up to the storms we've had.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the perfect addition to our backyard. It feels very estately, large, substancial, but provides a cozy space for our yard. The gazebo is very sturdy, solid and has survived 2 snow storms and several wind storms already. We paid for assembly and it was well worth it. It took one (very strong) man 5 hours to set this up. He was definitely a pro, as I'm certain it would have taken us several days to complete.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I Highly recommend Backyard Discovery gazebos. Instructions were easy to follow and easy to assemble. I was able to assemble 90% solo. Only when the two halves were put together and the roof attached did I need assistance. Gazebo looks GREAT!

We purchased this Norwood 16’ x 12’ gazebo a year ago after discovering we needed some shelter and shade to enjoy our outdoor patio furniture and fire pit. Assembly was not hard but was a little tedious and required a good deal of time as I still work full-time. That said, the instructions were very good, and my wife and I did most of the work. A good friend helped me with the roof and my excellent neighbors helped with the "heavy lift" portion of the build. Once completed, we absolutely loved it! We were spending so much time in it, that I decided to add lights, a ceiling fan, a propane heater, and a television! The television was a little tricky as I needed to protect it from the weather and the ends of the gazebo are basically open. I installed a 4’ x 8’ sheet of ultraviolet-resistant plexiglass in a secure wooden frame and a flip down motorized TV mount. I also added a mesh network satellite to improve streaming and download times. The electrical box supplies enough power and amperage to run all the electrical devices and the drop-down ledge is perfect for charging mobile phones. The entire structure is bolted into the concrete deck and the wood tones matched our patio furniture nicely. We thoroughly enjoy evenings and weekends outdoors watching sunsets, the night sky, and three dachshunds playing in the yard. I cannot recommend this product enough and I am completely satisfied with the purchase. The dachshunds love it, too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this and put it up over the summer. While it was a beast to construct the parts are great quality, instructions very clear and they even provided extra hardware. We are extremely happy as we assembled on a new patio to cover our hot tub. Turned out better than I could have imagined!!

This product came in several boxes, safely and appropriately packed. None of the cartons were too heavy that they couldn't be easily moved with a standard hand truck. My wife and I spent the first afternoon building each end piece. The following day, we built the middle section. With the help of a neighbor, we were able to assemble all three sections of the frame in less than 40 minutes. We had to wait one or two days because of bad weather, but managed to install all four roof sections in about 2 hours time. All In all, we took less than 6 hours to construct the entire gazebo.
