Bought this gazebo because of the size and shape for my back porch. It gets lots of sun and was too hot to sit out there, as well to have rain coverage. We flipped it where the high end is next the house so it drains way from the house. Took three of us to put together in about 5 hours and three of us to put the roof on. Best way is to put a ladder in the center and push it up, we had three people to push it. You will have to treat it with stain, but over all high quality, instructions are easy to follow. Looking forward to hanging out now in the backyard. The dogs are too!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased this gazebo that has unquestionably earned a 5-star rating from me. The sheer beauty of this gazebo is the first thing that catches your eye. Crafted from high-quality materials, it stands out as a stylish addition to my outdoor space. The construction process was a breeze, thanks to clear instructions and the inclusion of all necessary, high-quality parts. Durability is a key feature of this gazebo. It has admirably withstood high winds, a testament to its sturdy design and construction. Living in Michigan, I'm optimistic about its ability to handle the heavy snowfalls we often experience. Though it's yet to face this challenge, its performance so far gives me confidence in its resilience. The gazebo has become an essential part of our outdoor experience, particularly when enjoying our hot tub. It offers excellent protection from the elements, allowing us to relax and unwind without worrying about the weather. Its robust construction doesn't compromise on aesthetics, making it a delightful addition that enhances the overall ambience. If you're looking for a gazebo that combines beauty, durability, and functionality, this is the one to go for. It's a fantastic investment for anyone wanting to add a touch of elegance and practicality to their outdoor living space.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’re so incredibly fortunate to have found the Saxony XL grill gazebo from Backyard Discovery. The finished product is simply stellar. We love the cedar and metal stylings and the Saxony XL is ample enough to accommodate our Kamado Joe smoker plus our Napoleon Phantom grill. We opted for the professional installation from Backyard Discovery, which was totally awesome. Within a few hours we were able to enjoy this new addition to our home’s entertainment area. We added shatterproof Edison bulbs to the gazebo adding a fun party vibe. Truly, we could not be more pleased. Well done Backyard Discovery. This is an A+ for us.

We purchased two of them with the assembly services included. We joined them side by side against the house wall making a great 40'x9.5 shaded space in the backyard. Because we bolted them to the wall we were able to remove 2 columns (house side). The space looks great, and has transformed our backyard. We now eat there all the time with family and friends. We stained it (clear stain) to give it more protection against the weather. We also added a fan and string lights which make it look even better. This product is robust and off good quantity. Big value for the price. I would recommend this to anybody. The assembly team was great too and was able to assemble them both in one day (10 hours). I took care of the bolting to the house and cutting of the columns.

We bought this over the summer and built it after the concrete slab was poured. Super quality. We are 68 and 75 and only needed help lifting the roof on. We sealed all the wood before construction and plan to reseal every year. I would not hesitate to buy - what a great addition to our home.

We bought the gazebo last fall since it was out of stock everywhere last summer, but with such solid reviews we wanted to wait…..and it was well worth the wait!! What a well built gazebo for the money and the design is so convenient having the two shelves while cooking! I can’t say enough good things! We even added our own panels on the back for additional shade and protection. If on the fence, press “buy” today.

This was my mothers day present and honest has been the best addition to our backyard. We used it all summer and now into fall. I’m beyond obsessed. It’s so durable but also its so lovely when it rains or drizzles hearing it hit the roof. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking. It took quite a while to put together but the whole family loves it.

[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.

We absolutely love our new gazebo! From the moment it arrived, we were impressed by the exceptional quality of the materials—everything feels super solid and well-made. My husband and I assembled it ourselves over a few days, and the instructions were clear, making the process straightforward. It’s a beautiful addition to our space, and we couldn’t be happier with the result!

The Arcadia gazebo is awesome! It was the perfect size for our needs. It ended up being a lot of work but we got it done in a weekend. There were a few issues I had and they are as follows: 1) I wish we didn’t have to spend so much time water sealing the wood. That was huge time suck. 2) I wish Backyard Discovery would offer some gazebos with a back wall. I ended up having to buy some tongue and groove planks and tack them up on the back end to really give us adequate shade and privacy the whole day long. 3) It was almost impossible to do the job with just two people. There were two times, when we were attaching the two side panels to the back panel when I needed to get my wife to help us because two people have to hold the panels together while one guy screws them together. All in all it looks great and the value was there. Now we just have to wait and see if it holds up over time.
