Ratings & Reviews for Backyard Discovery Norwood 14-ft x 12-ft Hardtop Roof Steel Gazebo

well-designed, strong all cedar construction!

Bought 3 weeks ago to add permanent durable shelter over existing spa. Very easy or order. Good price (eligible for military discount…Thank you!) Shipping was very smooth. They sent tracking number and I followed transit. Arrived one day early and we are at 4300 ft altitude on side of mountain. It ships as Several large boxes on pallet. Two boxes are plywood lined. Everything arrived intact. No damage. We unboxed systematically onto covered deck and organized all pieces according to steps of ...

Fantastic addition to our backyard

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 no...

Easy to follow build progression. The sorting of the hardware and box opening sequencing would be helpful.

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.

Beautiful wood.

We love this purchase

I can't wait to enjoy my gazebo

I wish I could enjoy it in my backyard but I can't because I am waiting on two pieces of wood that you guys didn't send in my box. So my gazebo is half ways up. But other than that I can't wait to enjoy it.

Absolutely Everything I Wanted And More!

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. ...

Exceptional quality and engineering!

We purchased this to provide shade and protection on our property in the Wyoming mountains, and have enjoyed it thoroughly since we have had it up. We chose this for the structural ratings given, and after completing the assembly, am confident that the structure will meet and exceed expectations!. The directions were great and easy to follow, and everything lined up perfectly! It is as appealing as it is sound. Highly recommend!

Nice Touch

This was an addition to our patio and it really brought everything together. It is a very nice product and we didn’t have any issues with the assembly. The only issue we had was not knowing the posts would be hollow, we were hoping for solid for stability and durability. Otherwise it was comparable and did its job.

Nice structure!!

Not for the weak of heart to put together. We just had two of us putting the gazebo together contrary to advice. We were shorted a couple corner brackets but once we got started it went fairly smooth. We added teardrop lights and a couple fans. It provides good shade and the fans keep a breeze stirring. If you’re not up for a full weekend project, pay to have the gazebo assembled.

Great Quality and built like a Tank!!!

This is perfect for my grilling area, it keeps everything from the elements without having to put covers on them. It only took 7 hours with 2 men and a lunch break.

Exactly what we expected!

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. ...

What we were looking for.

Started a pool patio project last year and wanted a unique and durable shade structure. After building a swing set playhouse from Backyard Discovery, I was sold on their products. First bought the 20x20 gazebo and made room for this 12x10 gazebo for a grill station. Will have to stain this fall or next spring as the sun does fade the finish.

This was perfect for some shade in our backyard. .

The kit came quickly and in good condition. The assembly wasn’t too terrible for my husband and I over the 3 day weekend. We did need some help with the roof assembly. It looks great and is perfect for our backyard gatherings.

Cozy Outdoor Retreat

This gazebo was the perfect addition to our backyard. It is sturdy and very well made. The instructions and BILT app were easy to follow and our family of 5 put it together over a weekend. We ended up staining our deck the same color as the Norwood Gazebo because the wood accents the black hardware so well. We couldn't be happier with our outdoor grilling and gathering spot. Highly recommend!

Well Built and easy to put together

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.

Nice product at a great price!

I’ll keep it simple: after buying and returning a cheaper product from a local big box store, the quality surprised me. Excellent! There was one miscut piece in the boxes and it was Fedexed to me the same day I called. The city inspector was very complimentary about the quality of the final product. We love the new area and feeling it created in our yard. Love it!

We love our new Norwood Gazebo

I bought this about a month ago and built it myself following the detailed instructions. Had a couple of doubts and called Backyard discovery technical support. Mae was excellent in answering my questions and providing some extra supplies in a very timely manner. I couldn't be happier with the results.

Great Gazebo

Great gazebo, pretty solid with quality wood. Recommend sealing prior to assembly. It takes about 3 people minimum to assemble. We love it though

Great Gazebo

The shipment arrived on time with all parts and pieced there. Installation manual was spot on and the associated installation software was a huge help. Took 2 people a little over a day to put up and after a year, still looks great This is a great product...very stable and built well. Once mounted to my deck, it has been the go to place in all seasons. I mounted lights and a ceiling fan along with a speaker for music. Have really enjoyed this gazebo!
