Of course ordering something this large I was skeptical that it would arrive unharmed. It arrived in perfect condition. Assembly was fairly straightforward. The quality is very good, I look forward to years of use. I used Coolaroo crank to open sunshades.

The gazebo was very well packaged. Everything was there, no missing parts. They even provide screw tips for you. Took me, by myself about 8 hours start to finish on two separate days. Assembling the roof frame, then adding the roof tiles was the way to go. Very heavy. Very well made product. Instructions easy. The bilt app was a huge help. Really great gazebo. Looking forward to grilling underneath it soon. Just need to add some thompsons water seal.

Backyard landscaping is finally done and the gazebo could not have turned out better. Took a couple days to assemble but turned out great. I didn't way to use string lights, I grill and bbq quite a bit and there is just not enough light. I work in the lighting/electrical engineerimg industry and installed (3) LED strips with black finish to match the ceiling with all of the pipe ran on top of the cover, so it looks pretty clean and very bright.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to cover two grills and a smoker and it did the job. It was very well labeled & directions were clear. It did take 5 of us to lift the roof on, but with the extra hands it went on seamlessly. Beautiful product that is now a focal point of my backyard.

Bought this to replace a 2 year old canopy top grill gazebo that was already damaged by sun and wind. Directions state 2-3 people to install but I actually installed everything myself in about 9 hours except putting the roof on (roof is first installed on the ground and is around 150 pounds). Me and my son put the roof on ourselves (we’re both 6’ 2” so that helped). It’s a perfect fit on our back 10’ x 12’ concrete slab patio so it’s functioning as both a patio and grill gazebo. Looks awesome and hopefully lasts for years to come.

This is the 2nd Backyard discovery structure (1st was the 12 X 20 cedar unit) I have bought and built. Amazing structures with beautiful wood and top-grade hardware. They are very tedious to put up but if you follow the detailed instructions page by page, the end result is very nice and worth the time. I put up this by myself using my tractor with forks to hold the leg assemblies up while I attached the side pieces. Very happy with the final product.

This gazebo looks great! Easy to assemble and functions well. The only issue is the top front header doesn’t align well on the right side. One of the black brackets there would add the the strength and aesthetics of the gazebo. This is my second gazebo ( the other in another location) and they both look awesome!

The gazebo came with all material required for assembly. My wife and I assembled it in a couple days without too much difficulty. The wood is very light and the posts are hollow, but the assembled product is sturdy. We already have some dark spots on the wood after 7 months, so it looks like sanding and staining will be an annual recurring maintenance at the very least. Overall we are satisfied with this product.

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...

I bought this back in October and it took me 2 days to complete. Pretty straightforward instructions just keep all your fasteners separated. Definitely solicit the help from two or three friends to put the roof portion on hasn't made it very easy. I purchased corrugated galvanized Barn Roofing from the local hardware store and covered in the back which is very helpful when it snows as you can see from the pictures. Miss gazebo is well worth the price and a bargain compared to others.
