Assembly was easy, Customer service was awesome.
I helped my son assemble his and loved this product, so I bought one for myself. The delivery company delivered two boxes but one of them was not mine or the correct item. I couldn't make contact with the delivery company to correct the order, so I contacted the Backyard Discovery customer service, they were very responsive and immediately contacted their shipping dept which contacted the delivery company the truck returned and picked up the incorrect box but my box was not on the truck. They did deliver it the next day though. I am very impressed with the efforts of the C.S. rep. and the follow up phone calls ensuring i was kept informed and satisfied. I will definitely use this company again. The kit was in good condition, well packaged, and the assembly instructions were very clear and easy to follow. the hardware and included tools made the task a breeze. I only needed help raising the roof into position.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a 5 star review!
Quality product with ease of assembly
The product was packaged very well; no parts were damaged. The assembly instructions were very straightforward and easy to follow. The post base pads need to be 1 inch thick in lieu of the provided 5/8" thick ones to help meet code and to prevent water damage, I was going to purchase store bought pads, but these parts are a unique size. i did get help to secure the back beam and to install the roof, but the rest was easily accomplished myself. I was impressed with the hardware used on the frame, but felt the screw sizes used to attach the purlins and the screws to secure the roof need to be more substantial, in my opinion. I may end up replacing the roof bracket screws with Simpson Strong Tie screws for added peace of mind. i can't easily replace the purlin screws at this point, and I hope high winds will not be their undoing. I was very pleased with this product overall for the materials, construction, and ease of assembly. I also purchased the 14x10 Cordova gazebo and will be assembling it next.
12x14’ Gazebo
Great gazebo! Looks good and fits our space beautifully. Wife is extremely happy. Will watch to see how it weathers over time. Lessons learned: The instructions provide many opportunities to make mistakes that require disassembly and reassembly. Specifically, the instructions fail to provide accurate indications of top/bottom, front/back, left/right WITHIN in each step. It also doesn’t tell you that you will need two, three, and four people to perform some steps. The online and paper instructions are not the same. Backyard Discovery should assemble the gazebo and validate their instructions every step and sub-step of the way, and update both online and paper instructions. 12 hours is a pretty good estimate for assembly. Customers should be cautioned that the stained wood will most likely be scratched up during assembly. It would be helpful to include a small container of the stain used or at least the brand name and color.
Great looking
Beautiful addition to our new patio! The gazebo is well made (putting it together was a bit of a process but worth it!). Color, finish, size (we have a gas grill and smoker underneath it with room to spare). Have not yet found stools for it but can’t wait to order some to finish it off.
I really like this product!
We purchased this gazebo about two weeks ago, I’m very pleased with it. Installation was easy until we had to construct the roof. I think after framing the roof, the instruction should have you install that portion of the roof before you put on the roof panel, because it's so much added weight. I had to call a friend to help, because the roof was so heavy, and my small frame wife was no help. Anyway, we got the roof in position, and everything lined up perfectly.

Great quality, great service from BYD
We LOVE it. Great quality, and easy assembly. The customer service at Backyard Discovery is SUPERB! A simple text to let them know we were missing a piece (that we probably lost). Took approximately 8 hours to put together by my husband mostly on his own, I helped with the roof. We fudged the roof instructions and assembled the roof on the roof then attached the roof metal, rather than trying to lift the whole roof on top - it's VERY heavy - so you could do it by instructions if you had 2-3 full grown men to lift it up there. We use it as a gazebo on our deck. LOVE IT!
Thank you for the review!
Huge project! Review is worth the read..
Very nice piece for your property! Website offers someone to put it together for you for an expensive price. Honestly this project was over whelming coming out of the box.. full table of hardware (nuts, washers and bolts) 2 tarps full of pieces to assemble. Having it together and knowing what I know now I’d pay to have it put together unless you have a solid week of nothing to do… us 2 men got it put together in 4 sun up to sun down days… The app to use to build this is absolutely awesome. 360 view and you can tap every item to see what it is (down to a washer) and rotate it any way you want. I wish every assemble project was on that app. Although we did run into some part number issues and had to refer back to the hard copy Manuel as bolts 999 do not exist in the package and the app calls for them. A few things where off from the app to book but it was easy to figure out once we looked at the book. Still very worth using the app for assembly. 10/10 recommend staining before putting together. Each section and center beams where 4 boards that had to be bolted together to make one board, that seemed like it could have just been one board cut to spec for each section and would have saved about a days labor but I’m not an engineer so take that for what it’s worth. Also the sheet metal roof, each section of the roof (3) sections came with one little small strip of sheet metal to put at the end of each section. The sheet metal could have been cut wider to fit 8 sheets per section instead of 8 and adding the little strip.. that added extra time to the build. Once all together it’s super heavy, very sturdy and beautiful. We used this to cover our concrete pad at the back door to turn it into a covered patio instead of using it as a carport. It worked great and fits right under the gutters almost against the house. All in all PAY someone to put it together for you!
Gazebo XL Grill
I purchased this Gazebo approximately 1 month ago in July 2025. It went together very well and the instructions were east to follow. The only problem I had was the anchor bolts. Once I had completed the project I went to anchor the Gazebo to the ground. I made sure not to over tighten the bolts to the concrete. The next day when I went outside I found that 6 of the bolt heads had snaped off right at ground level or just below the concrete. This made it impossible to remove the bolts to replace. I had to get a different anchor bolt for the four legs. I went with another type and more heavy duty. Other than that the product is great and I look forward to having it for many years.
Exactly as pictured
Bought this and paid to have it assembled through Sam’s Club. Assemblers were very friendly and efficient. They came up within 4 days of it arriving. It is a beautiful gazebo. Usually things don’t look like the pictures but this one does. I upgraded to a plus member to get free shipping- well worth it.
Hello- Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for choosing Backyard Discovery. Glad your grill gazebo is up just in time for spring!
