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!
