The Backyard Discovery Saxony XL Grill Gazebo exceeded my expectations. We chose the DIY option. It wasn't too difficult to assemble took 3 of us about 6 hours to complete. We ran into one hiccup, but a quick call to the customer service line had the issue resolved in no time at all. If I was to do it again I would probably pay the extra money to have someone else put it together, unless you truly enjoy building things I would recommend a installer. The Gazebo itself is high quality and looks amazing. They do recommend you weather seal it after you put it together, so make sure you plan to do that to keep it looking amazing for years to come. The plugs it comes with are great and a nice added touch. Overall, this gazebo is a home run and a great value. It is super durable and feels solid.

My partner and I built this grillzebo over a couple of weekends. The video directions and the booklet made the assembly process very clear given the complexity of the design. My husband originally wanted to build something from scratch, but I’m glad we went with this tried and true design. It is worth the added cost. The individual pieces are cut in such a way to make them not so heavy or unwieldy. The only difficult part was getting the roof on but my partner who is over 6 ft was able to do it with the help of 2 friends. There were a few boards that arrived with small cracks in them, but they didn’t compromise the integrity of the structure and is not that noticeable. I’m interested to see how soon the cedar starts to gray and needs to be stained, but hoping we can get away with doing that next season.

The assembly company offered on the website does not have any PNW crews so I had to hire my own. I had 4 guys on the first day and 2 guys for an additional 3 days, working full 8-9 hour days. They were carpenters who did excellent work, it just took a really long time. The finished carport looks outstanding.

[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.] I was so happy with the first one I had to buy another for a different residence. Used one for grill cover another for a seating area. Nice looking and I love the cedar wood. Would highly recommend.

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).

It is always nice to get a little more than you paid for. This gazebo looks excellent and is very functional. It is a lovely addition to our backyard and well worth the money spent. The wood and hardware are exceptional, and the instructions are easy to follow.

The Saxony XL is a fantastic gazebo! The quality of the materials is incredible. The lumber is excellent quality, the fasteners are very strong, and all comes very efficiently and safely packaged. The instructions are exceptionally detailed. While rekatively easy to assemble, it does take 2 people, 3 is best when lifting the roof. We used a sealer on all wood components before assembling and allowed ample time to dry. I would have absolutely no hesitation recommending the Saxony XL Grill Gazebo!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this! The grill tender always gets left out of the conversation when entertaining, this is the perfect addition. Now the cook can keep some can keep some company and take a rest as well. Must have for frequent barbecues!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This grill gazebo is beautiful and great quality. Assembly wasn't bad... 2 guys had it done in about 5 hours. My husband will be able to grill in the shade now which helps a lot in Florida. We also ordered a large gazebo from Backyard Discovery to have some shade sitting on our patio furniture. I can't wait to get that assembled. If you are on the fence, order it! You won't regret it.
