Backyard Discovery 3.7m (H) x 6.1m (W) Norwood Carport Gazebo

Nice and solid. The finish needs to be better and the construction is both complicated and many of the parts don’t line up.

We used the 12 x 20 as a poolside cabana so the old people can sit in the shade and watch the grandkids play in the pool. The kit was delivered with care with no damage. It took about 24 hours for me to put together with a little help from my boys. Instructions were good and there is an app that helps as well. I wish I had done this years ago. My wife and I set under the cabana every evening and watch the news and Atlanta Braves baseball games. I built a bar out of cedar and it's under the right side and comes in very handy. I would highly recommend this for people with pools that would like some shade,

I'm very pleased with this product. It took two of us about 20 hours from start to finish. It is very well engineered, with all the holes and hardware located perfectly. The instruction was good and well explained. Heavy duty and sturdy. Putting the drip edge on top of the ribs didn't make sense, so I put it under the metal roof. I'm in Utah, so putting it on as instructed didn't make sense for snow sliding off or leaves and debris getting stuck behind the edging. I'm very pleased with the final result and would highly recommend.

We love our 12x16 pergola. It has a "state park" type look and feel when completed. We ordered ours in June of '24 so coming up on a year. Here are some comments to things we saw in several reviews:1). Kudos to the husband and wife teams that took on this build! You are amazing. My wife and have done lots of projects together and we took a pass on this one due to the overhead work and weight of structure (1,644lbs total).We hired a carpentry crew (5 man) and it took them a full day.2.) Delivery: 6+ big boxes and not in your back yard. Delivery to curbside.Empty out 1/2 of your garage and get indoors prior to a week of rain/ inclement weather. Furniture dolly or 4 wheel flat cart helpful.3.) Comments about cedar: this is an engineered cedar product, not actual cedar board from a mill. The 6x6 posts are hollow. If they were not you wouldn't be able to pick them up. A good analogy would be Trex decking or composite patio furniture. The boards are straight, true and will last forever.4.) We used 5-6 foldable party tables to arrange the hardware and boards adjacent to our build site. They are all labeled in a manner such that you use (a) 1st, b 2nd ect. Ideally, your set up area should be 50% larger than the size of what you are building or you will be stepping over, tripping and wasting time. Unboxing and organizing took us 3-4 hours.5.) Our installation was on an existing concrete patio. Kit includes brackets for tap con installation. Order a 6' level ahead of time. We used vinyl planking cut into 6x6" squares to shim. Build must be plum. If installation is adjacent to an existing structure as ours was, account for overhang.6.) Drip edge was not included and I was a bit surprised by that. I did not notice this until a heavy rain left the facia boards wet in areas. I resolved the issue when I installed gutters with screening.7.) Cord for power pack is 24". Have a small extension cord at the ready to your outdoor GFI circuit. Some communities may require a permit. We added a 42" fan with light kit to 1 of our roof supports.8.) We've had 12" snows and several severe storms. No issues or leaks. We had no missing parts to kit. A few extras actually. Hope this helps. I will answer any questions posted to the community promptly. Enjoy!EK.

Had somone else put it together for another grand and totally worth it. I put a cargo net under it for my kids to play in. Stained it with some neutral water sealer since it's next to the pool.
