With prices of wood through the roof right now, a roof was out of my budget. With no protection over my charcoal grill, rain has been an issue. When I saw this at Sam's Club, I bought it immediately. The next day after assembling it, I was out there cooking some epic burgers during a very strong spring storm. Rain, thunder and lightning didn't affect my cookout at all. Assembly (for me) took 4 1/2 hours and I had to invoke the help of my wife and daughter a couple times, but it wasn't overly difficult. I would have given it 5 stars, but it didn't come with wood lag bolts for fastening to our aging deck. A trip to Lowe's remedied that. Plus, they only have 4 roof rafter brackets, and in my most humblest opinion, it should have had 6.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually bought this cover for a side porch and it is a great fit! This is my second Backyard Discovery purchase. I loved the quality of my 20x12 Norwood gazebo so much that I purchased this one while my other was being assembled. A neighbor saw both while passing and stopped to say how nice they looked. I've received quite a few compliments on both! And they really do cut out some of the summer heat, a definite plus! No regrets on this purchase! I have one more area to cover and it will definitely be one from Backyard Discovery.

My partner and I built this grillzebo over a couple of weekends. The video directions and the booklet made the assembly process very clear given the complexity of the design. My husband originally wanted to build something from scratch, but I’m glad we went with this tried and true design. It is worth the added cost. The individual pieces are cut in such a way to make them not so heavy or unwieldy. The only difficult part was getting the roof on but my partner who is over 6 ft was able to do it with the help of 2 friends. There were a few boards that arrived with small cracks in them, but they didn’t compromise the integrity of the structure and is not that noticeable. I’m interested to see how soon the cedar starts to gray and needs to be stained, but hoping we can get away with doing that next season.

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.

Our Backyard Discovery Grill Gazebo XL is perfect for covering our pellet grill and soon to be added retro ice chest. It's sturdy and is screwed into the concrete which is important since we live at the top of a hill where we get high wind gusts. My husband added lighting to it which I love. Unfortunately, because of the location, we did not have room to include the side panels for seating. It's perfect for what we needed for a small outdoor kitchen area, providing shade and shelter from the rain. We were even able to stain to match the posts on our house.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this in June to cover part of my backyard patio as we have no shade in our backyard. Assembly was simple, the quality is fantastic and it completely changed how my backyard looks and feels! I recommend this product to everyone that sees it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so happy with the first one I had to buy another for a different residence. Used one for grill cover another for a seating area. Nice looking and I love the cedar wood. Would highly recommend.

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 gazebo looks good, the space is nice, and I am happy with the purchase until probably we get some high-speed wind... some screw broke while anchoring them to the concrete, and some wood were not fully glued or a little bit broken. To get replacement pieces, you must pay for it, so it's not worth it.

Backyard Discovery includes superior quality components with good fit-and-finish. Saxony XL Grill Gazebo is a good size for our patio. Full sized gazebos are too large and other brand grill gazebos, too small. Also, cheaper gazebos from some other brands have parts that appear inferior in quality - a few extra bucks spent here was well worth it. Flipped one countertop to the inside to better suit our needs. Added LED lights under the roof and finished it in an Olympic stain to preserve the wood and it looks great!
