I just finished setting up my 24x12 Arcadia Gazebo. Overall it turned out great. Very happy with how it looks. The instructions are just ok, pretty easy to figure out once you get familiar with the parts. I took a star off because a few of the pieces had the holes pre drilled in the wrong spots. This is at least a 3 person job for some parts of it.

All shipping and support exceeded expectations. The assembly was not too difficult and the alignment of holes between boards was amazing. On the Roof Assembly (Step 25) I would suggest modifying the 3rd tip: "Layout all roof sections to center and determine equal gaps BEFORE any screws are used." I had a false start and needed to remove screws and adjust. Would be great to see what others have done with their Gazebo. I'm now trying to figure out lights over my grill and smoker and perhaps an exhaust fan.

Quality is very good. Looks great! Assembly is best with 2 people and takes a few hours. Polyurethane all wood parts first. Everyone who has seen it wants one! I put it adjacent to the Backyard Discovery Norwood. Wish they would fit together without a gap.

We absolutely love our Arcadia Gazebo. My husband and I, both in our 60s, assembled it ourselves over two days to protect the front of our house from the Arizona sun. We set it up "backwards" (with the front facing our house so it slants away from the house). Last night we had our first beautiful rain on the "tin" roof. We just love going out to sit on the porch swing, protected from the sun and the rain!

Love our new gazebo! Great quality and it looks so nice! Also very impressed with Backyard Discovery! Great customer service. The first one we ordered was going to be a few inches too big. The boxes were unopened so they had it picked up and returned at no charge, and processed our refund promptly! Their installation cost is also very reasonable, after getting other quotes. Very impressed with the company and the product, which is difficult to find these days. Great experience all around!

Great quality! Follow the instructions and recruit a few friends. It took two days at a steady pace for two seniors. Thrilled that a few extra pieces of hardware were included “just in case”. A play structure for the grandkids might be the next purchase.

This backyard discovery xl grill gazebo was easy to assemble with 2 people. The instructions were easy to follow. We decided to turn the grill around using the back as the front, so when it rains the water will run off away from the house. We also have a backyard discovery gazebo we purchased a few years ago. I am absolutely in love with their products, from the designs to the quality. Its not flimsy wood this very sturdy cedar wood. I highly recommend their products and will be making another purchase soon.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very sturdy and well built! Easy to follow instructions. Quality control is very good. Extra screws and bolts. And if you need touch up stain to fix minor scratches or marks they are happy to send it to you. I would definitely it from them again. If you live in a windy area this is the Gazebo for you.

Arrives in 2 200 lb boxes with no option for “white glove” delivery unless you pay to have it installed. We’re in our 60s so getting it to back yard was a challenge. It is as shown and looks really nice in on our patio. Will stain it a darker brown fall. It is a medium brown.

This is my second Gazebo from BYD and couldn't be happier. This one covers my outdoor kitchen and, just like the one I have covering my hottub- its rock solid, real cedar, and easy to assemble. I live in the PNW and having cover- that will not rot and stay beautiful- is essential.
