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!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased this Gazebo to replace a metal Pergola covering our backyard patio. This gazebo is so much sturdier than our previous setup and with the metal roof and electrical outlets, it provides all we need. The product installation was well documented and the step by step video tutorial made it super easy to assemble without second guessing what you were doing. A few steps require a second or third person, but for the most part it was a one man assembly. We love the look and are hoping to enjoy it for years to come.

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!

I paid extra to have it assembled and it was a good thing. It took about 5 hours for 3 experienced men to do. I couldn’t have done it in a week. The only reason I didn’t rate this for five is because the anchor bolts that go into the concrete were not adequate. I had to buy my own at a hardware store to make it anchored properly.

My carpenter friend and I just finished erecting this building. Not only is it beautiful above my swim spa, it so well constructed. I firmly believe it will easily withstand the high winds and heavy snow as you advertise. We did not have to adjust any of the pre-drilled holes. The enclosed brackets are not flimsy sheet metal as you might expect. We are very pleased with the entire project. Would strongly recommend to anyone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The 20x12 gazebo I purchased was more than I expected . Very solid construction and was pretty easy to put together . The wood and black powder coated bracketry are all very sturdy and look great . Very happy with everything about this gazebo .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this in May 2023. The basic build out was well explained and easy to assemble with one helper. However, it took me six months to fully complete my install, doing a little at a time. It's now fully enclosed with an additional 6x10' adjoining space. It's my full outdoor kitchen with seating for 4, a propane firepit & table, a 4 burner 36" Blackstone griddle, 4 burner 39" Charbroil grille, 2 storage cabinets, a waste bin, a deep sink, overhead fan and exhaust fan, controlled lighting, and rain gutters. I can use fully enclosed or open air. It's a wonderful addition.

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.

I added 4 feet to the carport height to house my 18 foot travel trailer. I inserted 3.5” x 3.5” x 2’ posts into each 7’ post. I then sandwiched (2) 6” x 1.25” x 4’ cedar boards & (2) 3.5” X 1.25” to the center posts. I then attached the provided baseplates to the new extension posts. The build from that point was normal.

Quality of wood and hardware is very good...no chipped discolored wood and location of pre-drilled holes is accurate. Instructions are better than most others and have detailed steps and pictograms of assembly with ballooned enlargements for clarity. Wood and hardware are all marked and accurate...pre-assembly is critical to success - group all like wood parts and organize hardware by number and your assembly will be efficient.
