I love the Bilt app with 3D CAD diagrams, etc and the voice guidance. Overall, the build was exactly as explained except the roof metal sheet layout. Apparently I was suppose to leave about a 1/2" or 3/8" gap along the starting edge. Flush on the front edge yes...but you need to slide the first sheet over a tad so that it will not come up short on the last sheet. It wasn't so far off that the trim didnt cover the gap. But it would save a lot of headaches if the instructions would just say that upfront.

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.

Bought this gazebo on sale and we absolutely love it! Assembly was easy with 2 people and now my neighbor looks across our fence line with envy. Last steps are to install the power box, attach it to the patio and start buying patio furniture! This has more than enough room for an 8 person square table on one side and a sectional on the other. Between the two we are going to have a propane heater for the winter. Very excited!

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this in June while we were having our backyard renovated. The instructions were easy to read and all of the pieces were clearly marked. I love that it has the option for seating on both sides. Our pellet grill and blackstone both fit under it with room to spare. I highly recommend!

I bought this to put on our farm for small community activities and it’s great! It did take a WHILE to assemble. The instructions thought it would take 3 people about 6 hours to assemble - that was wildly wrong. We had four people (2 strong people, an engineer, and an architect) and it took us 2.5 days (about 16-20 hours). It was simple to follow the instructions and all of the pieces and hardware were well labeled. The app instructions were much more clear than the printed booklet. It looks excellent, we love it, and I already want another!

Our Backyard Discovery Grill Gazebo XL is perfect for covering our pellet grill and soon to be added retro ice chest. It's sturdy and is screwed into the concrete which is important since we live at the top of a hill where we get high wind gusts. My husband added lighting to it which I love. Unfortunately, because of the location, we did not have room to include the side panels for seating. It's perfect for what we needed for a small outdoor kitchen area, providing shade and shelter from the rain. We were even able to stain to match the posts on our house.

I recently completed erecting this gazebo and I found it to be more difficult to assemble than I thought it would be. I felt that the hardware could have been more simplified being too many different parts and assembling the wood to coincide with it became a chore. I would highly recommend the lay person not attempting to do it yourself.

The gazebo looks good, the space is nice, and I am happy with the purchase until probably we get some high-speed wind... some screw broke while anchoring them to the concrete, and some wood were not fully glued or a little bit broken. To get replacement pieces, you must pay for it, so it's not worth it.

Bought this about a month ago and finally was able to put it together after painting and getting it powder coated to match my wifes shed. As they say happy house happy spouse right. Took about two days, probably would of taken just one day but i started late and it was starting to get hott. Instructions were clear , parts, nuts and bolts were easy to find. Added some clip on fans for the hot summers when bbq’ing.
