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!

Not only does it look great but it’s a perfect size. I had been on the fence about buying for awhile because of the price but I’m glad I finally did. It is very heavy and the materials are quality. The shipment and packaging were well done. It is definitely a 2 person build, so plan accordingly. It took my father-in-law and I about 4 hours to assemble (and we are both pretty handy).

I bought this March 29,2022. I was expecting a three week wait time. It turned out to be more like 6 weeks. I should’ve paid for installation. My husband and I put it up together. I had my grandsons help put the roof on. We had to ream out some of the pre-drilled holes. It looks very nice.

I was planning on designing and building my own covered grilling / smoking area, but I have been "planning" for 4 years now, and somehow never got around to it. Then I saw an ad for the Saxony XL Gazebo and it was exactly what I wanted to build. I finally decided to go ahead and buy this kit and am very happy that I did! The hardest part of this project for me was the site preparation. I had to clear out old landscaping and run electrical wiring for a smoker and lights. Then I installed pavers and was finally ready to assemble the gazebo. After staining all the parts, assembly was a breeze. I was very impressed with how well laid out everything was and all pilot holes and whatnot were right on. I was having a bit of a hard time attaching the roof panels but found that setting the front edge on some scrap 2x4's made it much easier. You can see that in the first photo. The next hardest part was putting the roof on, but luckily three of my son's friends came over to help. They are all over 6' so we didn't even need a ladder! :) Now I just need to get my grill and smoker in place and do some landscaping around the gazebo. But somehow it got to be December and in the Pacific Northwest, that is not a great time for yardwork...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this when we had an old deck replaced. Shopped around and found this. IT IS PERFECT and BEAUTIFUL, in my opinion. My grills fit perfectly. My wife spruced it up with some lights and we are ready to go. I put it together myself over a weekend and just needed a neighbor to help me lift the roof into place during the final steps. If you are looking for a grill gazebo, this is the one. High quality!!!! Note... due to the way it sits on my deck, I chose to only put the bar table on one side. So you do have that option.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a few months ago and looks amazing and fits the need perfectly. Assembly directions where so simple to follow and went togther as directed. Was able to do 90 percent solo and then with an extra person came togther quickly. Only thing I needed to add afterwords was so drip edge to the backside to further keep the rain off the back end.

We absolutely love our new gazebo! From the moment it arrived, we were impressed by the exceptional quality of the materials—everything feels super solid and well-made. My husband and I assembled it ourselves over a few days, and the instructions were clear, making the process straightforward. It’s a beautiful addition to our space, and we couldn’t be happier with the result!

I bought this to put on our farm for small community activities and it’s great! It did take a WHILE to assemble. The instructions thought it would take 3 people about 6 hours to assemble - that was wildly wrong. We had four people (2 strong people, an engineer, and an architect) and it took us 2.5 days (about 16-20 hours). It was simple to follow the instructions and all of the pieces and hardware were well labeled. The app instructions were much more clear than the printed booklet. It looks excellent, we love it, and I already want another!

The barbecue gazebo is ab attractive addition to our backyard patio. The gazebo came in two boxes. The assembly is quite lengthy. The parts are well labeled and correspond well with the installation manual. The manual says 3 hours to assemble but that wasn't the case for me. It took about 12 hours but we went slow taking care to double check our work. Three people will be needed for the roof but if you can get a fourth person it will help. Don't skip steps. If you do you may regret it. I must commend Backyard Discovery for the precise layout for the assembly points for this gazebo. Everything lined up precisley which was quite impressive considering all the connections that needed to be made and the nature of wood (contraction, expansion, warping etc.). We were missing poles so we called the manufacturer and they shipped out the missing poles the same day we called. If you are good at putting things together then go for it. For those who may find this challenging I would reccomend hiring someone to put it together. Great product. I would highly recommend it.

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.
