I couldn’t be happier with this gazebo. The 14x12 Arcadia is the perfect fit for our patio, providing both shade and a beautiful focal point in the backyard. The cedar wood is rich in color, sturdy, and really elevates the whole space. Assembly does take some time (a solid weekend project for two people), but every piece is well-labeled and precision cut, which made the process straightforward and satisfying. Once assembled, the structure feels rock-solid and has handled both wind and heavy Nebraska summer storms without issue. The modern, lean-to roof design complements the house perfectly and gives just the right amount of height and openness. We added string lights, and now it feels like a true outdoor living room. What I especially appreciate is that it’s functional year-round: it keeps the grill and dining set covered, while still letting in plenty of natural light. For the price, you’re getting something that looks custom-built, but at a fraction of the cost. If you’re on the fence—don’t hesitate. This gazebo is a fantastic investment in both your home’s value and your outdoor lifestyle.

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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’re so incredibly fortunate to have found the Saxony XL grill gazebo from Backyard Discovery. The finished product is simply stellar. We love the cedar and metal stylings and the Saxony XL is ample enough to accommodate our Kamado Joe smoker plus our Napoleon Phantom grill. We opted for the professional installation from Backyard Discovery, which was totally awesome. Within a few hours we were able to enjoy this new addition to our home’s entertainment area. We added shatterproof Edison bulbs to the gazebo adding a fun party vibe. Truly, we could not be more pleased. Well done Backyard Discovery. This is an A+ for us.

We selected the Arcadia gazebo to replace a 5 yr old metal gazebo that needed repairs. We are extremely happy with the Arcadia. So well built, and easy to put together with the instructions and on line 3 D videos you supply…our third gazebo, and easily the best. We are using it for a different purpose, hosting backyard concerts, and also for showing movies to the grandchildren and neighborhood kids (we have a big screen setup). People love the “stage”…”where did you get it? We’ve attached a photo of our July 5th concert.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Arcadia gazebo was the perfect solution to cover my existing outdoor deck. The quality is fantastic, it looks beautiful and the customer service was outstanding, they answered all my questions prior to purchasing. I highly recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have had this assembled for about a month now. Assembly was not bad for 2 people. We got it up in an afternoon. I've grilled a few times under it so far and it's nice to not have the sun beating down on me the whole time I'm grilling. It also protects my grill from the elements. It was a great purchase!

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had already purchased a pergola from this company and loved it and my husband was already talking about building a grilling station/area on our patio area with covered roof and this product was the perfect solution! It looks amazing.

This gazebo looks great! Easy to assemble and functions well. The only issue is the top front header doesn’t align well on the right side. One of the black brackets there would add the the strength and aesthetics of the gazebo. This is my second gazebo ( the other in another location) and they both look awesome!

I needed a gazebo no taller than 8 feet or so, since I wanted to keep my tress without much trimming. This gazebo fits our space perfectly. I know it's called the 'XL Grill Gazebo', but for us it's the pool tools and shade gazebo. The power box and shelves are perfect for pool items and other backyard tools. The shade space is great. I would have loved a bigger one, but don't have the space in the area I had designated. Installation was professional and my dealings with the BYD service folk was outstanding. The quality of the solid cedar wood parts is exceptional. I would definitely recommend BYD with no reservations.
