I had a son pass a little over a year ago so when we bought an acreage recently I wanted to build something in his honor. After doing a lot of research I opted for the Backyard Norwood gazebo. Since it’s usually windy here I liked the wind rating and thought the unit was well styled. I started by building the patio then erected the gazebo. I’m 67 years old and pretty much put this up by myself with the help of a bucket tractor getting the first wall up. Someone had said it helped having someone dedicated to reading the instructions so my wife did that which helped quite a bit. My oldest helped with getting half the roof up but wasn’t around for anything else so I put the other half up by myself doing the framing first then the panels. It actually fell right in place. Because of my schedule I couldn’t devote whole days to the project but time wise it was probably a 3 day deal. Lots of hardware, lol, but I can see why it’s so sturdy. I’m thrilled with how it’s turned out and plan on spending a lot of time celebrating my son there. I wasn’t excited about paying the price but I’m happy I did. Highly recommend it.

We bought this a month ago and love it! It was a bit of a challenge to put together-you definitely needed both the written and video instructions but now that it is done I couldn’t be happier! It looks awesome and is my new favorite spot! We will be enjoying many days and evenings to come.

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 needed a carport and this is a great size and value. The top is durable for all season weather. When not a carport we can use for shade to grill and setup for family gatherings. You will get a lot of use out of it, that is for sure!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great gazebo! It seems like it was made to last. The only disappointment I had was that the legs are hollow, which is why I took one star off. Overall we are very happy with the quality and the price point. I would certainly recommend this gazebo.

In the pictures this was great looking with lot of cool architectural details. It is even better in person. This came in some large heavy boxes, so make sure you have friends to help move and assemble it. But, it was easy to assemble with all the parts needed and clear easy to follow directions (took us a weekend, but we didn't slave away either). Would buy this again in an instant

The instruction are incredible. Each step lists all items that are needed for that step. It all comes together like it should. We took our time and made it in less than three days. Enjoy the shade and being able to sit outside when it is raining.

We did an "unboxing" and part sorting as a family to begin our barnraising of the Norwood Gazebo. With the exception of a few holes that needed a bit of drilling to ease the alignment the kit went together well over the course of about 4 days during a wave of 90 degree weather. My wife and young adult children all joined in the project and the experience was enjoyable overall. The quality of the cedar wood components and the hardware and exceptional brackets made the kit a great value. The design and engineering are superior and make the Norwood Gazebo a wonderful and practical addition to our property and outdoor lifestyle. Highly recommended!

We picked up the 16x12 Norwood to extend the coverage of our new stone patio. Everything arrived intake, all parts were labeled clearly, and instructions were very easy to follow. We are just normal homeowners (45 yrs old, owned our home for 20 yrs) and were able to fully assemble the gazebo ourselves. We did need a few extra hands to erect each half and it made it way easier to get the roof panels up when someone hands them up to you while you're on the ladder. We put our gazebo up on 20" concrete blocks to match the height of our existing patio cover. Can't be more pleased. We will update when we get all the accessories installed (lights, fans, etc.) Definitely would recommend this brand!!

I bought my Brindlewood Gazebo almost 2 years ago and I just have to say it has just made wonders in my backyard and has really Enhanced Is the features on my backyar This casino took 2 of us to put together and took about eight hours. Where I find the most about this ultimate gazebo is that it makes great shade and had held up to the to strong 50 mile winds and the rain and still looks new after almost 2 years and still standing strong . And that's why it's the ultimate Gazebo.
