This is my second Gazebo from BYD and couldn't be happier. This one covers my outdoor kitchen and, just like the one I have covering my hottub- its rock solid, real cedar, and easy to assemble. I live in the PNW and having cover- that will not rot and stay beautiful- is essential.

To complete my family's backyard transformation, we wanted to include a gazebo over our hot tub. After researching many different gazebo kits, we decided to team up with Backyard Discovery. We live in Northeast Ohio and get variety of weather. We were sold on this gazebo as it is PRO-TECT certified to withstand winds up to 100 MPH and 3,500 pounds of snow! Additionally, it came with a 5-year warranty and a power port so we could plug in our decorative lighting and eventually a small outdoor T.V. The Gazebo arrive quickly and well packaged. Assembly took us about 2 days, and we had 3 adults working on the project. The parts were well labeled, and the instructions were amazing!! Backyard Discovery not only provides normal paper instructions but, they utilize the BILT App which gives you 3D instructions as well as reads them aloud. The App also gives tips, tricks, and cautions during assembly. This was my first time using the BILT App and I am impressed. The assembled gazebo is very sturdy and is simply beautiful. Thank you, Back Yard Discovery, for providing the perfect final addition to complete our backyard paradise!!

This backyard discovery xl grill gazebo was easy to assemble with 2 people. The instructions were easy to follow. We decided to turn the grill around using the back as the front, so when it rains the water will run off away from the house. We also have a backyard discovery gazebo we purchased a few years ago. I am absolutely in love with their products, from the designs to the quality. Its not flimsy wood this very sturdy cedar wood. I highly recommend their products and will be making another purchase soon.

i think, it wouldve been nice to have had the booklet, or the scan code, prior to the boxed parts, arriving on site. since there were so many boxes, it was difficult to get to the box with the instructions. it took 2 men and 1 woman about 6 full days to complete. I dont know if, instructiobs werent clear, or if the men jumped ahead, and thought they knew better ha ha. But the first 2 days was a lot of redoing. Did have left over bolts n screws, but were short on a few, and drip edge. seems like a wellbuilt carport. very nice color and trim. so time will tell how it holds up. Good luck!

I just finished setting up my 24x12 Arcadia Gazebo. Overall it turned out great. Very happy with how it looks. The instructions are just ok, pretty easy to figure out once you get familiar with the parts. I took a star off because a few of the pieces had the holes pre drilled in the wrong spots. This is at least a 3 person job for some parts of it.

Just absolutely loved the entire experience with this carport. I knew it was going to be a challenge because of the grade where I wanted to place it. There is a good 15" drop from one corner to the opposite corner. Since the posts are hollow I decided to modify the bottoms. I first dug the required holes and filled them with concrete. Then I accurately measured the drop from the highest point to all the other post slabs. I then used 4x4 and 2x8 pressure treated wood to build inserts. I added 5" to all the posts so that the post on the highest point would have a "matching" base. The top of the black paint on the posts are now all level. My approach to this install was when I inventoried everything I stacked all the parts in reverse order from the instructions. I then built all the joists and reverse stacked them in the order that the instructions called for them. Day of the install went so very easy. Literally less than a day to assemble the posts, joists, roof, and anchors. Finished product is so much more than I expected. We love this carport!!

Looks amazing and delivery was quicker than expected. Can’t say enough good things about our gazebo!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I now enjoy grilling and cooking outside my kitchen.

Easy to assemble. No broken parts or missing pieces. After assembly i added an upper shelf and lights for nighttime grilling.

Built it a month ago. Very good instructions and components. Easy to assemble. Works great on the patio
