[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking for something that could do two things, protect my grill/barbecue area from rain, and shield my 3 season porch from the late afternoon/evening summer sun. I was able to put most of it together myself, and with my brother's help we lifted the roof section into place. I really like the look of it, I like the sturdy feel it has, it's very well thought out. It is a real job to put it together, though. Just do a thorough inventory, read the directions more than once, and budget plenty of time.

I needed a gazebo no taller than 8 feet or so, since I wanted to keep my tress without much trimming. This gazebo fits our space perfectly. I know it's called the 'XL Grill Gazebo', but for us it's the pool tools and shade gazebo. The power box and shelves are perfect for pool items and other backyard tools. The shade space is great. I would have loved a bigger one, but don't have the space in the area I had designated. Installation was professional and my dealings with the BYD service folk was outstanding. The quality of the solid cedar wood parts is exceptional. I would definitely recommend BYD with no reservations.

Solid- will not fall or blow away unless you are in a real hurricane. Looks great and keeps me and my bbq out of the elements. Took me around 6 hours my self to put together. My wife did help me lift the metal roof to the top to install. It comes in 2 long heavy boxes. It looks great and will last for a number oy years. Can not go wrong with this purchase

We bought this a few months back and were able to put it together and attach to our 12x16 Backyard Discovery Gazebo we bought last year. It took less than 8 hours to put together and has given us a lot of room to grill and lounge around in the back yard.

I love the Bilt app with 3D CAD diagrams, etc and the voice guidance. Overall, the build was exactly as explained except the roof metal sheet layout. Apparently I was suppose to leave about a 1/2" or 3/8" gap along the starting edge. Flush on the front edge yes...but you need to slide the first sheet over a tad so that it will not come up short on the last sheet. It wasn't so far off that the trim didnt cover the gap. But it would save a lot of headaches if the instructions would just say that upfront.

Nice-sized grill gazebo for our new grill and small smoker. Assembly was relatively straight-forward with 2 people, and took most of the day. They did a great job putting this kit together so the pieces fit and made assembly easy. We did put a clear polyurethane on all the cedar pieces before assembling, to preserve the color and make it last longer... if there is a stain on it, you can't tell as the wood is very thirsty for more. Very pleased with the hardware, and the fact it came with a couple spares. The roof is okay... I wish it extended out further on the sides to protect the counters/tables, further out the back, and wish it had a greater slope for shedding rain and snow. We may eventually end up altering the roof ourselves. Overall, I'm happy with it. It looks great on our patio and will be very usable in nice weather.

i previously purchased the Arlington 12x10 Gazebo about a year ago and i was AMAZED and the quality of the product delivered to me. Everything was exactly as i expected it, except for the hardware. not to get into too much detail here, it was a slight nightmare getting it to all come together as it was supposed to. it took a lot of muscle and a lot of time but we got it up and it looks Amazing. when i saw that they now made a Grill Gazebo i got so excited because having the Arlington now for a year, i know i was dealing with a superior product. but i was worried about the assembly, i did not want the same thig to happen to me again. I emailed the company and they assured me they corrected that issue, so i bit the bullet and went ahead and ordered it. it was delivered right to my backyard and i went ahead and had a fun weekend putting it together. Well let me tell you, not only did i NOT need the weekend to put it together, the Hardware isse was FIXED!! everything went off without a hitch and i t was all assembled and up within 4 hours. AMAZING. i cannot believe they made their product even better. it just tell me that this company real cares about there product and i cannot for the need to purchase another Patio product. HIGHLEY RECOMMEDNED. if i could give the product more than 5 stars i will. now, if you excuse me, i am going to put in some light in my new Grill Gazebo and enjoy my grilling experience!

I’m so glad we purchased the Arcadia Gazebo, I have xeroderma pigmentosum , which means I'm extremely sensitive to UV rays but I’m also an avid bird watcher. I waited until night to avoid the sun, set up multiple flood lights to my neighbors displeasure and finished construction before sunrise. The Pergola is a perfect addition to my backyard , I’m able to venture outside during the daylight hours with my Bird watching binoculars and feel safe. I’ve even caught a glimpse of the elusive spotted redshank in the trees behind my house. Prior to having the pergola I was only able to do nocturnal bird watching and even owl sighting can get boring after a while.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this gazebo because I wanted to get some cover for our back patio without needing permits and without the expense of having a contractor come out and build something permanent. When our friends come over, all I get are positive reviews and "hey give me the website where you bought this". It is really a great option. We added a gutter on the down sloped end to handle the rain runoff which help keep things dry. My only hope is that they will make an add on section to this kit. We would like it to be 30 feet long to cover our whole patio. If they come out with that, I'll be the first to buy it. I don't think we will be looking to do a permanent patio cover any time soon. It was easy to build. I put it together in about three days by myself. The only help I needed was to join sections together. My wife and son helped me with that part. Read the instructions slowly and carefully. They can be somewhat difficult to understand. Just follow the pictures and go slowly. Once you know how a section goes together, other sections go really fast.

I bought this item in the summer of 22’ and absolutely love it! The building materials are done right and my family loves the new look it brings to our house! My youngest even help me put it together due to the simple and easy to follow directions! Superb product with great customer service.
