I purchased the saxony XL last summer and built it on a deck I built specifically for this gazebo. I absolutely love the functionality of the gazebo from keeping my grills protected, providing sun cover for me, to adding a beautiful conversation piece to the back yard. I added LED rope lights, a menu board and a hook for my apron. I plan to gutter the back this week. the assembly was straight forward and took a day or two working mostly alone. The roof was a four person job. I have recommended this to friends without hesitation. I just stained the whole structure this summer with Cabot semitransparent cedar wood stain. It looks great!

This build went extremely easily. I did it by myself over 2 days. About 5 hours each day. I did go slightly out of order. After assembling the rafters, I secured the roof on the gazebo before installing the roof panels. This made it easier to lift the roof up. make sure you recheck for square before adding panels.

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.

Got this Gazebo last summer because I got tired of melting my vinyl siding. I'm now able to grill in all weather types. The electrical features allow for music and television on the outside deck and the shelving is perfect for the margarita maker. I had no problems building this by myself and only needed assistance placing the roof on top of the structure. Love it!

The gazebo came with all material required for assembly. My wife and I assembled it in a couple days without too much difficulty. The wood is very light and the posts are hollow, but the assembled product is sturdy. We already have some dark spots on the wood after 7 months, so it looks like sanding and staining will be an annual recurring maintenance at the very least. Overall we are satisfied with this product.

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.] I have had this put up for about 8 months now and I love it so much. It’s beautiful on my patio and now I get to drink my morning coffee out there every morning in the spring/summer. I picked this one so I could butt it up against my house and it fits like a dream. I also added a small ceiling fan and Edison string bulbs. The quality is top notch!

I’m so glad we purchased the Arcadia Gazebo, I have xeroderma pigmentosum , which means I'm extremely sensitive to UV rays but I’m also an avid bird watcher. I waited until night to avoid the sun, set up multiple flood lights to my neighbors displeasure and finished construction before sunrise. The Pergola is a perfect addition to my backyard , I’m able to venture outside during the daylight hours with my Bird watching binoculars and feel safe. I’ve even caught a glimpse of the elusive spotted redshank in the trees behind my house. Prior to having the pergola I was only able to do nocturnal bird watching and even owl sighting can get boring after a while.

This is a quality product with all included hardware. I deviated from some chronological assembly steps for a few reasons. 1. I bolted the four posts to the concrete before attaching the roof because I did not want a gust of wind to blow it over. 2. I assembled the roof truss framing and installed it before adding sheetmetal. It was easier to lift into place and secure first. I then installed the sheetmetal. The directions called for the perimeter roof trim to be placed 360° on top of the sheetmetal ribs. The problem is that the design does not take into consideration the need for a rear drip edge. I did not want water to flow under the trim and down the wood. I, therefore, placed the tear trim under the ribs. Water will now be directed 1/2 inch away from the wood and will then drop straight down. It will also alleviate pine needles from getting trapped under the trim.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such a cool design and would be an awesome addition to any backyard. Well thought out design includes a footrest for those at the bar, as well as a power outlet section under a cover on the post. Looks like a little oasis in your own backyard.
