[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for my husband about 6 months ago. He loves that he he can grill in any kind of weather. It holds many of his toys and is loved by many men in the neighborhood. It is probably the best gift I ever bought for him.

Everyone I know is very impressed so far. Looks beautiful and people are shocked I put it together. My grill table with my kamado fits in perfectly I got put it together myself with my 2 kids (7 and 10). Its very doable for anyone is basic knowledge of putting together furniture, but it did take me more than 4 hours. If I had to make another one, I could do it in less than that now that I know how it all works. Half the time is just making sure your pieces are facing the correct way and sorting all the pieces. It came well packed into 2 boxes. Everything is very well labeled. Each part is stamped, and all the screws are in their own bags, and extras were included in the event you need it. The instructions can be hard to read sometimes but if you take your time you can figure it out. The only thing I was confused about and may have messed up was the roof trim, I think my roof panels were likely misaligned and the trim didnt go on correct or I wasn't sure where it was supposed to go - so maybe plan out both of those steps in advance before you take out the drill

The barbecue gazebo is ab attractive addition to our backyard patio. The gazebo came in two boxes. The assembly is quite lengthy. The parts are well labeled and correspond well with the installation manual. The manual says 3 hours to assemble but that wasn't the case for me. It took about 12 hours but we went slow taking care to double check our work. Three people will be needed for the roof but if you can get a fourth person it will help. Don't skip steps. If you do you may regret it. I must commend Backyard Discovery for the precise layout for the assembly points for this gazebo. Everything lined up precisley which was quite impressive considering all the connections that needed to be made and the nature of wood (contraction, expansion, warping etc.). We were missing poles so we called the manufacturer and they shipped out the missing poles the same day we called. If you are good at putting things together then go for it. For those who may find this challenging I would reccomend hiring someone to put it together. Great product. I would highly recommend it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this earlier this summer and I have been customizing it ever since. It is stout and so well designed. The wood is very clear and no knots really. It was very easy to put together. Honestly I could have made my own but it would have cost more, and would have taken forever to design and run back and forth to the hardware store for this and that. This was the way to go.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had already purchased a pergola from this company and loved it and my husband was already talking about building a grilling station/area on our patio area with covered roof and this product was the perfect solution! It looks amazing.

I needed a gazebo no taller than 8 feet or so, since I wanted to keep my tress without much trimming. This gazebo fits our space perfectly. I know it's called the 'XL Grill Gazebo', but for us it's the pool tools and shade gazebo. The power box and shelves are perfect for pool items and other backyard tools. The shade space is great. I would have loved a bigger one, but don't have the space in the area I had designated. Installation was professional and my dealings with the BYD service folk was outstanding. The quality of the solid cedar wood parts is exceptional. I would definitely recommend BYD with no reservations.

Very nice piece for your property! Website offers someone to put it together for you for an expensive price. Honestly this project was over whelming coming out of the box.. full table of hardware (nuts, washers and bolts) 2 tarps full of pieces to assemble. Having it together and knowing what I know now I’d pay to have it put together unless you have a solid week of nothing to do… us 2 men got it put together in 4 sun up to sun down days… The app to use to build this is absolutely awesome. 360 view and you can tap every item to see what it is (down to a washer) and rotate it any way you want. I wish every assemble project was on that app. Although we did run into some part number issues and had to refer back to the hard copy Manuel as bolts 999 do not exist in the package and the app calls for them. A few things where off from the app to book but it was easy to figure out once we looked at the book. Still very worth using the app for assembly. 10/10 recommend staining before putting together. Each section and center beams where 4 boards that had to be bolted together to make one board, that seemed like it could have just been one board cut to spec for each section and would have saved about a days labor but I’m not an engineer so take that for what it’s worth. Also the sheet metal roof, each section of the roof (3) sections came with one little small strip of sheet metal to put at the end of each section. The sheet metal could have been cut wider to fit 8 sheets per section instead of 8 and adding the little strip.. that added extra time to the build. Once all together it’s super heavy, very sturdy and beautiful. We used this to cover our concrete pad at the back door to turn it into a covered patio instead of using it as a carport. It worked great and fits right under the gutters almost against the house. All in all PAY someone to put it together for you!

I searched for the largest, most affordable structure I could find to make an outdoor kitchen. This was it! It was a little intimidating at first with the parts that came in 11 huge boxes, but it was pretty easy to assemble. Two of us did most of it but a third person was needed at to move and make adjustments. I am in love with how this turned out and definitely recommend it. Price cannot be beat for the size and the material.

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!

I'll admit that on arrival I was hesitant that all the pieces would become what I saw in all the pictures. Allow yourself some time and don't rush when putting it together. Brother in law and me put it together in about 6 hours. 4 hours on Saturday for the build and then 2 more on Sunday for final assembly. The quality is great and the pricing was right where I needed it. Would definitely buy another one and I highly recommend it if you are considering. Love my XL Grill Gazebo!
