I purchased this gazebo to add necessary shaded area in my backyard. I had my handyman put it together; he thought it was well made. I'm happy with the quality and all pieces, bolts, etc were included. I wished the back opening was more private so we added cedar boards/slats & it worked out great! Would recommend this gazebo to others looking for a quality product.

[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!

This shipped super quick, and I received it within days - amazing! My husband said assembly looks easy enough, and as soon as the rain passes through, we're having our first family grill night of the year. I can't wait for this beauty to be set up in my yard! Bonus for me, the PowerPort will come in handy for making blended margaritas in the backyard!

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.

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

We purchased this grill gazebo in October. We decided to pour a concrete pad to put it on, so we didn't compete the assembly until the end of November. The instructions were simple to follow and my husband and I were able to assemble by ourselves, and we are in our 60's! The quality of everything was top notch and we are thrilled with how it looks. We are anxious to move our grill and new smoker under roof, but think we'll wait until the temperatures get a little warmer than 30 degrees!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this in late spring in preparation for our annual Pig Roast to cover our cinder block pig spit. While it took us 2 days to put together, and we needed the help of a couple strapping neighbors to get the roof on, the quality of the build is EXCELLENT!!! SOLID construction, so no worries about wind or snow piling on the roof. It even has it's own cord block so we added an LED light string around the perimeter! We love it so much we are thinking about getting a bigger gazebo for our porch next season!!!

This is one of the best investments we have ever made. Quality all the way thru, beautiful structure. This is an extremely well thought out product from manufacturing to end product. I am an engineer and was blown away by the sturdiness of this gazebo. Money well spent.

I purchased this grill gazebo to put on an 8‘ x 8‘ concrete pad. After three years of replacing metal gazebos that just bent in the wind or rusted through the year it was time to make the bigger investment in a nice cedar gazebo. The construction recommends two adults, I took an entire day and did it by myself. I am 6 foot 2, 220 pounds and most of the construction was able to be completed safely with just myself. To place the roof on the top of the structure, You definitely need another adult of equal height and a ladder. For most of the process, you can get it done with just one person, but lifting the roof onto the top of the structure does require a second grown adult. I love the way it looks. I would purchase it all over again and recommend it to all my friends. It’s a wonderful addition to our yard!

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.
