I bought my grilling gazebo in July 2022. I’m not very mechanical, but I was able to assemble the structure and roof easily by following the detailed instructions that were included. I did need assistance in lifting the roof onto the frame at the end. The grilling gazebo was the final touch after adding additional patio paver space and a pool. It allowed me to move my grill and outdoor cooker off my patio and underneath the gazebo. It really gives our outdoor living space a feeling of completion.

Everyone I know is very impressed so far. Looks beautiful and people are shocked I put it together. My grill table with my kamado fits in perfectly I got put it together myself with my 2 kids (7 and 10). Its very doable for anyone is basic knowledge of putting together furniture, but it did take me more than 4 hours. If I had to make another one, I could do it in less than that now that I know how it all works. Half the time is just making sure your pieces are facing the correct way and sorting all the pieces. It came well packed into 2 boxes. Everything is very well labeled. Each part is stamped, and all the screws are in their own bags, and extras were included in the event you need it. The instructions can be hard to read sometimes but if you take your time you can figure it out. The only thing I was confused about and may have messed up was the roof trim, I think my roof panels were likely misaligned and the trim didnt go on correct or I wasn't sure where it was supposed to go - so maybe plan out both of those steps in advance before you take out the drill

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Directions were clear, and very easy to put together (considering the massive size). A drill is needed and it comes with all other needed tools and drill bits. Extra screws and nuts etc. come too! I’ve recommended this style and company to my neighbors and family. It’s such a beautiful and very sturdy piece. If you’re on the fence… JUST BUY IT! It will not disappoint!

Love this thing. We were able to put it up in about 14 hours. Super easy instructions. Measurements were great do we could assemble exactly where we wanted it. A few days after it was up we had rain early in the morning. The sound of the tin roof brought me back to camping with my parents. Looks great, feels super sturdy. One of the best improvement to our home so far. And the chat feature on the site is truly great. Fast and straight to the point answers. Already contemplating a smaller one to replace our old cloth covered pergola for my grills.

The Backyard Discovery Saxony XL Grill Gazebo exceeded my expectations. We chose the DIY option. It wasn't too difficult to assemble took 3 of us about 6 hours to complete. We ran into one hiccup, but a quick call to the customer service line had the issue resolved in no time at all. If I was to do it again I would probably pay the extra money to have someone else put it together, unless you truly enjoy building things I would recommend a installer. The Gazebo itself is high quality and looks amazing. They do recommend you weather seal it after you put it together, so make sure you plan to do that to keep it looking amazing for years to come. The plugs it comes with are great and a nice added touch. Overall, this gazebo is a home run and a great value. It is super durable and feels solid.

I searched for the largest, most affordable structure I could find to make an outdoor kitchen. This was it! It was a little intimidating at first with the parts that came in 11 huge boxes, but it was pretty easy to assemble. Two of us did most of it but a third person was needed at to move and make adjustments. I am in love with how this turned out and definitely recommend it. Price cannot be beat for the size and the material.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This covered patio was absolutely amazing! It was very easy to put together, took a few days but it was well worth it! Instructions were so easy to follow! This is everything we could have asked for!

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this a couple of months ago and have been having so much fun adding to it. We poured a concrete slab to set it on, added a bar around the entire interior perimeter, installed ceiling fans, wrap around lights, used cedar planks to semi enclose, are in the process of screening it in so we can enjoy it as a mosquito free gazebo, and will be installing a tile or stone floor. Such a fun project, easy to install and customize, and we love the addition to our yard. We also purchased a grillzebo for the other side of the pool.

Purchased one day and sorted one day, completed assembly the next, grilled the next. My neighbors were astounded. Incredibly simple and thoughtful instructions. Well laid out. Well labled, and thoughtfully designed. Every step, every part obviously well engineered. Was a pleasure to assemble.
