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.

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!

Just bought this gazebo for our backyard - delivery was fast, the assembly looks reasonable, and the quality is AMAZING! I like the idea of the built-in PowerPort - it’s something I didn’t find on other gazebos - and I think it will definitely come in handy for our first grill date night! I can’t wait to use it!

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

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.

Not only does it look great but it’s a perfect size. I had been on the fence about buying for awhile because of the price but I’m glad I finally did. It is very heavy and the materials are quality. The shipment and packaging were well done. It is definitely a 2 person build, so plan accordingly. It took my father-in-law and I about 4 hours to assemble (and we are both pretty handy).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This covered patio was absolutely amazing! It was very easy to put together, took a few days but it was well worth it! Instructions were so easy to follow! This is everything we could have asked for!

[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.

This turned out great but I did have a few issues building that I should mention to the next guy. The pilot holes all lined up and keeping this square was easy but the pilot holes weren’t properly drilled all the way through the wood so sometimes the breakout on the backside of the hole needed persuasion. I guess if you cleaned all the holes to start with it would solve that problem but add time to the project. It would be really cool if the hardware were pre kitted per step instead of by hardware type. That would cut assembly time in half. The last issue is that the roof sheet metal was not cut square. If you know, you know. All in all, good quality but not great.
