We bought this a few months back and were able to put it together and attach to our 12x16 Backyard Discovery Gazebo we bought last year. It took less than 8 hours to put together and has given us a lot of room to grill and lounge around in the back yard.

I absolutely love my gazebo. It wasn't too difficult to put it together. With the exception of standing it up and putting the roof on, I was able to do it all by myself. I had to reach out to customer support a couple of times and I can't speak highly enough of the excellent support I received. I had responses and resolutions within MINUTES!

[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!

From ordering to delivery to setup this is a great product. The material was high quality. The directions were actually decent. I do recommend that you read them through once, lay out parts and tools, and also when doing some of the middle steps look ahead then go back and do the step. I found this to help support what the end result would be on the current step. I would challenge the takes three hours! And having 3 friends is helpful. 4 to lift the roof. Lastly once assembled it is heavy and hard to move so be prepared. A great buy and product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for my husband about 6 months ago. He loves that he he can grill in any kind of weather. It holds many of his toys and is loved by many men in the neighborhood. It is probably the best gift I ever bought for him.

I needed a gazebo no taller than 8 feet or so, since I wanted to keep my tress without much trimming. This gazebo fits our space perfectly. I know it's called the 'XL Grill Gazebo', but for us it's the pool tools and shade gazebo. The power box and shelves are perfect for pool items and other backyard tools. The shade space is great. I would have loved a bigger one, but don't have the space in the area I had designated. Installation was professional and my dealings with the BYD service folk was outstanding. The quality of the solid cedar wood parts is exceptional. I would definitely recommend BYD with no reservations.

We bought this over the summer and built it after the concrete slab was poured. Super quality. We are 68 and 75 and only needed help lifting the roof on. We sealed all the wood before construction and plan to reseal every year. I would not hesitate to buy - what a great addition to our home.

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!

This Gazebo was the perfect t solution for a tight patio space and western sun exposure. Cooled of the area in the late afternoon and evening to make the patio enjoyable to sit outside. Quality materials and we hired the recommended third-party installed through Backyard Discovery. They were professional and did an excellent job.

This 20x20 carport kit arrived in 11 boxes. When we opened them, there was hundreds of boards and several hundred bolts, nuts, screws, washers and brackets. This could all be intimidating! But, my wife (age 71) and I (age 75), sorted out the lumber and applied an outdoor stain to all of the pieces. We also sorted out the hardware. Luckily, my 75th birthday party coincided with the need to erect the nine vertical posts, so we had help. You really do need extra people for this step. After that, it was all on my wife and I. Took us about three days to finish, working short days because of the heat. A few things to note: Every drilled hole was exactly in the right place. However, on some occasions, boards had to be flopped to align the holes, otherwise you'd think the holes were drilled in the wrong spots. Try not to leave the untreated boards out in the blazing sun. They will twist. Be careful on opening the bags of hardware to keep all of the pieces in their bags, and to be able to read the numbers on the ripped-open bags. You cannot spend too much time squaring the roof. We must have measured it 20-25 times as we went along, before putting up the metal panels, as each time we worked on plumbing the posts and installing the rafters required a slight adjustment. As it was, we were 1/4 inch off, and that 1/4 inch did show up when we put on the metal panels. We installed this carport onto a concrete barn floor laid about 100 years ago. They made concrete tough in those days. Several of the screws we drilled into the concrete snapped off just as they were getting tight. (This also happened with concrete screws we bought at Home Depot, so not necessarily the result of low quality screws by the company.) While the instructions say not to get on the roof, unless you have long, long arms, you do have to either sit on the roof beams or lean way over to screw in the metal roofing panels. But I never felt any weakness from the structure when doing so. Oh, I was lucky and had a dental procedure this summer which has limited my eating. Consequently, I lost about 20 pounds. You need to be lean to fit through the holes between rafters in order screw in the panels from above. By following the instructions (and reading ahead a few pages) this project was very do-able for us. It turned out so beautiful that even our neighbor, who is a building contractor and perfectionist, has complimented us. It does the job of keeping our car and other vehicles dry and is a wonderful addition. We would recommend this carport.
