The perfect home for my array of grills and outdoor cooking gear. I even added the brand new Argentine style grill from backyard Discovery (another great purchase). Running power was a snap and assembly was smooth and very reasonable. We customized ours with some lighting and a high-end outdoor sound system and now everybody loves hanging out there. Highly recommend

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).

This 20x20 carport kit arrived in 11 boxes. When we opened them, there was hundreds of boards and several hundred bolts, nuts, screws, washers and brackets. This could all be intimidating! But, my wife (age 71) and I (age 75), sorted out the lumber and applied an outdoor stain to all of the pieces. We also sorted out the hardware. Luckily, my 75th birthday party coincided with the need to erect the nine vertical posts, so we had help. You really do need extra people for this step. After that, it was all on my wife and I. Took us about three days to finish, working short days because of the heat. A few things to note: Every drilled hole was exactly in the right place. However, on some occasions, boards had to be flopped to align the holes, otherwise you'd think the holes were drilled in the wrong spots. Try not to leave the untreated boards out in the blazing sun. They will twist. Be careful on opening the bags of hardware to keep all of the pieces in their bags, and to be able to read the numbers on the ripped-open bags. You cannot spend too much time squaring the roof. We must have measured it 20-25 times as we went along, before putting up the metal panels, as each time we worked on plumbing the posts and installing the rafters required a slight adjustment. As it was, we were 1/4 inch off, and that 1/4 inch did show up when we put on the metal panels. We installed this carport onto a concrete barn floor laid about 100 years ago. They made concrete tough in those days. Several of the screws we drilled into the concrete snapped off just as they were getting tight. (This also happened with concrete screws we bought at Home Depot, so not necessarily the result of low quality screws by the company.) While the instructions say not to get on the roof, unless you have long, long arms, you do have to either sit on the roof beams or lean way over to screw in the metal roofing panels. But I never felt any weakness from the structure when doing so. Oh, I was lucky and had a dental procedure this summer which has limited my eating. Consequently, I lost about 20 pounds. You need to be lean to fit through the holes between rafters in order screw in the panels from above. By following the instructions (and reading ahead a few pages) this project was very do-able for us. It turned out so beautiful that even our neighbor, who is a building contractor and perfectionist, has complimented us. It does the job of keeping our car and other vehicles dry and is a wonderful addition. We would recommend this carport.

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.] 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 bought this over the summer and built it after the concrete slab was poured. Super quality. We are 68 and 75 and only needed help lifting the roof on. We sealed all the wood before construction and plan to reseal every year. I would not hesitate to buy - what a great addition to our home.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this because we need to get my husbands smoker off the main deck and this design was what we were looking for. It looks great at the end of our pool and the color matches our deck color perfectly. It was just my husband and me assembling it and it took the two of us 3 days, during the hot summer days of July. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. Just lay out all of your parts/pieces in number order and the process is faster. We made a few changes to ours by moving one of the end tables to the front and adding some additional wood siding for privacy. It's a very sturdy gazebo and definitely worth the investment.

We bought 2 of these gazebos to cover the back patio of our new home. They are a little longer than advertised, about 6 inches. I had to cut some length off the second one to fit with the house, but, wow, did it turn out great! The fit of all the pieces and the quality of the materials and hardware are wonderful! We’ve really enhanced our outdoor space in a beautiful way. Construction went pretty well. Some steps really need at least 1 people, but not for very long. I highly recommend these!

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.

[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.
