This review is actually of our XL Saxony Grill pergola…just finally finished installing last week. The pergola was easy to put together. Instructions were very clear, and 3d view was very helpful. My wife and I put as much as possible together in preparation for our sons joining us to connect the four posts and add the roof…it now houses our original outdoor kitchen. It is our 2nd Backyard Discovery pergola (you can see in the picture, behind the Saxony XL, our Arcadia Pergola, which we use primarily for concerts and movies). Next week we are putting together the smaller Saxony pergola to house a smoker and pizza oven. We LUV Backyard Discovery products!,

Love our new gazebo! Great quality and it looks so nice! Also very impressed with Backyard Discovery! Great customer service. The first one we ordered was going to be a few inches too big. The boxes were unopened so they had it picked up and returned at no charge, and processed our refund promptly! Their installation cost is also very reasonable, after getting other quotes. Very impressed with the company and the product, which is difficult to find these days. Great experience all around!

Purchased the 20x12 kingsport carport and ended up enjoying it so much that two years later I purchased the 24x12 arcadia gazebo. Besides the enjoyment in general they are actually sturdy enough for the Pennsylvania mountains wind and snow…and look cool in the process lol.

I bought a month ago. Spent three days putting the sealant and stain on every square inch of cedar wood. Had two guys put together with me assisting on lifting sections. Took about 20 hrs to put completely up. Went together great and looks awesome and very solid. Only thing I did was buy my own concrete bolts. I used 1/2 bolts . It never going anywhere.

I bought this because living in the Pacific Northwest it rains (a lot!) and I wanted an outdoor kitchen that wasn’t weather dependent. I’m really happy with how this turned out! The instructions were easy to follow and I put this together by myself in a weekend. The hardware was all good quality and there were plenty of extras, even though I didn’t need any, and I love that is made from real cedar. It seems durable and I think it’ll last me a long time! And it saved me thousands over my first plan of building my own shelter from cedar. This was a much better decision.

This gazebo is very strong and easy to build. My husband and cousin built this over the course of two days. The instructions were easy to read and understand but they could use some extra stamping on the pieces for which way is up. They did struggle with the trusses but eventually figured it out. Overall a wonderful gazebo and we couldn’t be more happy with it.

Overall this was an ok install. Much easier to do than if I would have bought all the materials and built it myself. The steps were clear, BUT there were occasions where I did some things incorrectly that I then needed to redo. My list of things I would call out for someone else putting this together: 1. The instructions are written with the front being the taller end. In my case I wanted to have the front be the shorter end. With smaller things, pivoting the item works well, but something of this size and weight I needed to build right to left and reverse terms like "FRONT" and "BACK" 2. When putting the rafters in, some pieces have angled ends and needed to go in a certain direction to fit. 3. There are extra screws, bolts, nuts, etc.. in case you mess something up. 4. If you're anchoring into concrete, a hammer drill is your friend. 5. If you're placing it next to something, account for space to use a drill. It was tight at times to fit a drill in and to access the back of the roof for the edging where we placed it. 6. It comes in a lot of boxes that are heavy, especially the roofing. It took me and one other person about 4 half days to build, and 15 minutes or so at night organizing what bolts we would need for the next day so we could move quicker.

It went together well- follow directions. Took longer than described us well made. Top was heavy but again not unyielding. Love it

Arrived in 2 boxes; took about 4 hours to assemble with 2 people; some minor scratches on posts but looks great on our patio

The installation instructions were easy to follow and the quality of materials is very good. I built a 8x6 deck and the grill gazebo fits perfectly on top on it. With the addition of the grill gazebo I'm able to grill outside in any weather.
