I was planning on designing and building my own covered grilling / smoking area, but I have been "planning" for 4 years now, and somehow never got around to it. Then I saw an ad for the Saxony XL Gazebo and it was exactly what I wanted to build. I finally decided to go ahead and buy this kit and am very happy that I did! The hardest part of this project for me was the site preparation. I had to clear out old landscaping and run electrical wiring for a smoker and lights. Then I installed pavers and was finally ready to assemble the gazebo. After staining all the parts, assembly was a breeze. I was very impressed with how well laid out everything was and all pilot holes and whatnot were right on. I was having a bit of a hard time attaching the roof panels but found that setting the front edge on some scrap 2x4's made it much easier. You can see that in the first photo. The next hardest part was putting the roof on, but luckily three of my son's friends came over to help. They are all over 6' so we didn't even need a ladder! :) Now I just need to get my grill and smoker in place and do some landscaping around the gazebo. But somehow it got to be December and in the Pacific Northwest, that is not a great time for yardwork...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased our grill gazebo and it was installed in August 2023. Besides being a great addition to our patio, we just love looking out at it through our patio doors. It provides the perfect amount of shade and is the perfect size for us!

We bought this gazebo for a commercial project at our business. We recently installed two e-bike chargers at our Bike Shop Cafe and needed a cover to keep the heavy weather off them. It was a great size that fit perfectly in the space and was easily constructed.

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.

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

So happy with the grill gazebo! My husband added motion lights and even a gutter on it to make it perfect for our yard! He even added lights pointing down at the grill so I can cook at night! The gazebo is perfect to house our grill, and I am looking forward to being able to cook outside for our friends and family! Thank you so much for this gazebo, it is the perfect size! I looked everywhere for one that worked and was thrilled when I finally found this one!

I purchased the Kingsport 20 X 20 (not necessarily a) carport after lengthy searches. I (with help) assembled the very well made materials with a few alterations and it services my needs very well. I've added lights, a security camera, audio system, and tv.

Just had my Acadia gazebo delivered and installed. Beautiful gazebo, exactly what the beginning of new back yard needed!! Paid for install through backyard and was not disappointed. Gazebo was delivered and installed within the week, couldn't have asked for anything more. Thanks for the great experience will definitely recommend to anyone that asks

LOVE IT! I have a small 40x100 backyard on Long Island. I was looking to put up a privacy fence along my driveway that runs to the back of my yard because we are very (too) close to our neighbors where our patio table and sectional are. OMG the price of a 2 section wood fence and install was quoted at almost the same price as this gazebo. So we bought this instead and nailed 5/4x6” cedar decking to the back to enclose it. I am beyond excited about how it turned out and it gave us way more privacy than any fence and umbrella could. BUY IT! You wont regret it!

[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!
