[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Directions were clear, and very easy to put together (considering the massive size). A drill is needed and it comes with all other needed tools and drill bits. Extra screws and nuts etc. come too! I’ve recommended this style and company to my neighbors and family. It’s such a beautiful and very sturdy piece. If you’re on the fence… JUST BUY IT! It will not disappoint!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have really the gazebo for several reasons. It is sturdy & provides shelter from the weather when grilling in the rain or in the hot sun. There is plenty of room for a large grill & still have room to move around. I have added lights & enjoy the ambiance as well. It truly adds so much to the backyard space.

I purchased this Gazebo approximately 1 month ago in July 2025. It went together very well and the instructions were east to follow. The only problem I had was the anchor bolts. Once I had completed the project I went to anchor the Gazebo to the ground. I made sure not to over tighten the bolts to the concrete. The next day when I went outside I found that 6 of the bolt heads had snaped off right at ground level or just below the concrete. This made it impossible to remove the bolts to replace. I had to get a different anchor bolt for the four legs. I went with another type and more heavy duty. Other than that the product is great and I look forward to having it for many years.

The Saxony XL is a fantastic gazebo! The quality of the materials is incredible. The lumber is excellent quality, the fasteners are very strong, and all comes very efficiently and safely packaged. The instructions are exceptionally detailed. While rekatively easy to assemble, it does take 2 people, 3 is best when lifting the roof. We used a sealer on all wood components before assembling and allowed ample time to dry. I would have absolutely no hesitation recommending the Saxony XL Grill Gazebo!

The Saxony Grill kit was the best summer investment for our backyard .. after the prep work done it took 1 day to assemble and setup the easy to follow book of instructions . All parts were well marked and fit solid .. the added electrical hookups were a bonus feature ….soooo many compliments on the finished project and holds together under all weather conditions

I was planning on designing and building my own covered grilling / smoking area, but I have been "planning" for 4 years now, and somehow never got around to it. Then I saw an ad for the Saxony XL Gazebo and it was exactly what I wanted to build. I finally decided to go ahead and buy this kit and am very happy that I did! The hardest part of this project for me was the site preparation. I had to clear out old landscaping and run electrical wiring for a smoker and lights. Then I installed pavers and was finally ready to assemble the gazebo. After staining all the parts, assembly was a breeze. I was very impressed with how well laid out everything was and all pilot holes and whatnot were right on. I was having a bit of a hard time attaching the roof panels but found that setting the front edge on some scrap 2x4's made it much easier. You can see that in the first photo. The next hardest part was putting the roof on, but luckily three of my son's friends came over to help. They are all over 6' so we didn't even need a ladder! :) Now I just need to get my grill and smoker in place and do some landscaping around the gazebo. But somehow it got to be December and in the Pacific Northwest, that is not a great time for yardwork...

This build went extremely easily. I did it by myself over 2 days. About 5 hours each day. I did go slightly out of order. After assembling the rafters, I secured the roof on the gazebo before installing the roof panels. This made it easier to lift the roof up. make sure you recheck for square before adding panels.

I couldn’t be happier with this gazebo. The 14x12 Arcadia is the perfect fit for our patio, providing both shade and a beautiful focal point in the backyard. The cedar wood is rich in color, sturdy, and really elevates the whole space. Assembly does take some time (a solid weekend project for two people), but every piece is well-labeled and precision cut, which made the process straightforward and satisfying. Once assembled, the structure feels rock-solid and has handled both wind and heavy Nebraska summer storms without issue. The modern, lean-to roof design complements the house perfectly and gives just the right amount of height and openness. We added string lights, and now it feels like a true outdoor living room. What I especially appreciate is that it’s functional year-round: it keeps the grill and dining set covered, while still letting in plenty of natural light. For the price, you’re getting something that looks custom-built, but at a fraction of the cost. If you’re on the fence—don’t hesitate. This gazebo is a fantastic investment in both your home’s value and your outdoor lifestyle.

This shipped super quick, and I received it within days - amazing! My husband said assembly looks easy enough, and as soon as the rain passes through, we're having our first family grill night of the year. I can't wait for this beauty to be set up in my yard! Bonus for me, the PowerPort will come in handy for making blended margaritas in the backyard!
