[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We wanted a lean-to style gazebo to protect our cob oven and have extra room for other outdoor cooking. After pricing out materials to build one from scratch, we found it would have cost close to what we'd spend on the Saxony XL, not to mention take us longer to build without a kit, so we decided to go with this one from Backyard Discovery. We're really happy with the results. We did find out the hard way that it's best to actually follow the instructions to a T rather than assume things and "freelance," so we had to undo things a couple of times and read the instructions more carefully, but all worked out in the end. My husband and I were able to build the gazebo, including lifting the roof into place, without additional help. One roof panel was missing -- which we didn't discover until we actually opened that box when we were ready to put the panels on -- but the missing piece was shipped out to us at no cost and arrived within a few days. The only downside was that the single sheet of metal roofing wasn't braced or padded in the box, and it arrived bent. But we used it as it was, and you can't really see the bend. Overall, we're really happy with the gazebo and the customer service.

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).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this in June to cover part of my backyard patio as we have no shade in our backyard. Assembly was simple, the quality is fantastic and it completely changed how my backyard looks and feels! I recommend this product to everyone that sees it.

We bought this gazebo to replace a cloth topped unit we have had for 3 years. The packaging was great, the boxes sat covered on my trailer for 2 months while we refurbished our deck prior to setting up the gazebo. I was pleased to see everything was in good shape when we unpacked everything. We did not have a chance to inspect the boxes at delivery, so we inspected after they had left, and where pleased to see all looked good. The metal roof installation can be tricky since you can't walk it, but it turned out good. I added a black drip edge to low end, and will have a 5" gutter installed as well. My only criticism of the unit is the front and rear ends are not solid pieces. The sandwiching at the ends of them are not ideal in my opinion. But overall a very nice unit and I would recommend highly.

Purchased one day and sorted one day, completed assembly the next, grilled the next. My neighbors were astounded. Incredibly simple and thoughtful instructions. Well laid out. Well labled, and thoughtfully designed. Every step, every part obviously well engineered. Was a pleasure to assemble.

As a man with pale skin, this coverage has saved my life. It prevents those nasty UV rays from raging war on my skin. The aesthetics are great as well. My boyfriend loves how it matches our home. He is able to freely decorate it as he pleases. It’s a winning combo!

[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!

Bought this gazebo a few months ago. Put it up in one weekend. It is very sturdy and we have no issues with it. No leaks. I do wish the concrete anchor screws were better as multiple screws broke. Overall this is a great product with clear instructions.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This fits perfectly on the side of our house. The installers did a great and efficient job. I would give it 5 stars but a couple of the boards don’t line up perfectly preventing the screws from sitting flush. I hope that doesn’t lead to issues down the road. For now, we are very happy with this purchase!!!

We bought 2 of these gazebos to cover the back patio of our new home. They are a little longer than advertised, about 6 inches. I had to cut some length off the second one to fit with the house, but, wow, did it turn out great! The fit of all the pieces and the quality of the materials and hardware are wonderful! We’ve really enhanced our outdoor space in a beautiful way. Construction went pretty well. Some steps really need at least 1 people, but not for very long. I highly recommend these!
