This 20x20 carport kit arrived in 11 boxes. When we opened them, there was hundreds of boards and several hundred bolts, nuts, screws, washers and brackets. This could all be intimidating! But, my wife (age 71) and I (age 75), sorted out the lumber and applied an outdoor stain to all of the pieces. We also sorted out the hardware. Luckily, my 75th birthday party coincided with the need to erect the nine vertical posts, so we had help. You really do need extra people for this step. After that, it was all on my wife and I. Took us about three days to finish, working short days because of the heat. A few things to note: Every drilled hole was exactly in the right place. However, on some occasions, boards had to be flopped to align the holes, otherwise you'd think the holes were drilled in the wrong spots. Try not to leave the untreated boards out in the blazing sun. They will twist. Be careful on opening the bags of hardware to keep all of the pieces in their bags, and to be able to read the numbers on the ripped-open bags. You cannot spend too much time squaring the roof. We must have measured it 20-25 times as we went along, before putting up the metal panels, as each time we worked on plumbing the posts and installing the rafters required a slight adjustment. As it was, we were 1/4 inch off, and that 1/4 inch did show up when we put on the metal panels. We installed this carport onto a concrete barn floor laid about 100 years ago. They made concrete tough in those days. Several of the screws we drilled into the concrete snapped off just as they were getting tight. (This also happened with concrete screws we bought at Home Depot, so not necessarily the result of low quality screws by the company.) While the instructions say not to get on the roof, unless you have long, long arms, you do have to either sit on the roof beams or lean way over to screw in the metal roofing panels. But I never felt any weakness from the structure when doing so. Oh, I was lucky and had a dental procedure this summer which has limited my eating. Consequently, I lost about 20 pounds. You need to be lean to fit through the holes between rafters in order screw in the panels from above. By following the instructions (and reading ahead a few pages) this project was very do-able for us. It turned out so beautiful that even our neighbor, who is a building contractor and perfectionist, has complimented us. It does the job of keeping our car and other vehicles dry and is a wonderful addition. We would recommend this carport.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love our saxony XL! Has made grilling out in less than ideal weather a snap! Threw on some solar powered lighting so cooking at night is just as easy. Well built and sturdy, it gets the job done. Has completely extended our cooking season to fulll year!

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.

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.

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

i previously purchased the Arlington 12x10 Gazebo about a year ago and i was AMAZED and the quality of the product delivered to me. Everything was exactly as i expected it, except for the hardware. not to get into too much detail here, it was a slight nightmare getting it to all come together as it was supposed to. it took a lot of muscle and a lot of time but we got it up and it looks Amazing. when i saw that they now made a Grill Gazebo i got so excited because having the Arlington now for a year, i know i was dealing with a superior product. but i was worried about the assembly, i did not want the same thig to happen to me again. I emailed the company and they assured me they corrected that issue, so i bit the bullet and went ahead and ordered it. it was delivered right to my backyard and i went ahead and had a fun weekend putting it together. Well let me tell you, not only did i NOT need the weekend to put it together, the Hardware isse was FIXED!! everything went off without a hitch and i t was all assembled and up within 4 hours. AMAZING. i cannot believe they made their product even better. it just tell me that this company real cares about there product and i cannot for the need to purchase another Patio product. HIGHLEY RECOMMEDNED. if i could give the product more than 5 stars i will. now, if you excuse me, i am going to put in some light in my new Grill Gazebo and enjoy my grilling experience!

With prices of wood through the roof right now, a roof was out of my budget. With no protection over my charcoal grill, rain has been an issue. When I saw this at Sam's Club, I bought it immediately. The next day after assembling it, I was out there cooking some epic burgers during a very strong spring storm. Rain, thunder and lightning didn't affect my cookout at all. Assembly (for me) took 4 1/2 hours and I had to invoke the help of my wife and daughter a couple times, but it wasn't overly difficult. I would have given it 5 stars, but it didn't come with wood lag bolts for fastening to our aging deck. A trip to Lowe's remedied that. Plus, they only have 4 roof rafter brackets, and in my most humblest opinion, it should have had 6.

Purchased this unit on a Saturday morning, by Sunday afternoon I had been notified it was already in transit, Monday morning I was notified it was in town, and by Wednesday afternoon it was in my driveway. Never got notified it was being delivered, it just showed up. I was able to assemble and get it completed in 20 hrs. including staining and protecting the woodwork, I would highly recommend sorting, inventorying, staining and waterproofing before you start assembly, assembly was not difficult, however it requires you to VERY CLOSELY look and follow the instructions or you're going to screw up. The quality of the wood was very good, all the holes and hardware lined up and went smooth, you're going to need at least 3 people to stand it up (will need them for a couple hours). My only complaints are the crappy anchors they send for the concrete are terrible (I opted to get some real red head concrete anchors instead) and the metal roofing doesn't extend past the drip edge far enough to work very well (1/4" as per instructions). I already have a spot developing on one of the main posts where the wood split a little due to an imperfection in the grain and is starting to swell up some after a good rain, it was stained and water sealed with 2 coats prior, we will see how it goes and maybe need to warranty that post down the road if it continues to get worse. I am likely to purchase another one to build an outdoor kitchen under if this proves to hold up well

This product is great. The gazebo was very easy to assemble with 2 people, with the exception of 2 steps where we did need a third person to help. My husband describes it as putting together a giant lego set. We sealed all the wood prior to assembly which I would recommend. We love this gazebo. It was a great purchase.

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.
