I recently completed erecting this gazebo and I found it to be more difficult to assemble than I thought it would be. I felt that the hardware could have been more simplified being too many different parts and assembling the wood to coincide with it became a chore. I would highly recommend the lay person not attempting to do it yourself.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased this gazebo that has unquestionably earned a 5-star rating from me. The sheer beauty of this gazebo is the first thing that catches your eye. Crafted from high-quality materials, it stands out as a stylish addition to my outdoor space. The construction process was a breeze, thanks to clear instructions and the inclusion of all necessary, high-quality parts. Durability is a key feature of this gazebo. It has admirably withstood high winds, a testament to its sturdy design and construction. Living in Michigan, I'm optimistic about its ability to handle the heavy snowfalls we often experience. Though it's yet to face this challenge, its performance so far gives me confidence in its resilience. The gazebo has become an essential part of our outdoor experience, particularly when enjoying our hot tub. It offers excellent protection from the elements, allowing us to relax and unwind without worrying about the weather. Its robust construction doesn't compromise on aesthetics, making it a delightful addition that enhances the overall ambience. If you're looking for a gazebo that combines beauty, durability, and functionality, this is the one to go for. It's a fantastic investment for anyone wanting to add a touch of elegance and practicality to their outdoor living space.

I’m so glad we purchased the Arcadia Gazebo, I have xeroderma pigmentosum , which means I'm extremely sensitive to UV rays but I’m also an avid bird watcher. I waited until night to avoid the sun, set up multiple flood lights to my neighbors displeasure and finished construction before sunrise. The Pergola is a perfect addition to my backyard , I’m able to venture outside during the daylight hours with my Bird watching binoculars and feel safe. I’ve even caught a glimpse of the elusive spotted redshank in the trees behind my house. Prior to having the pergola I was only able to do nocturnal bird watching and even owl sighting can get boring after a while.

I bought this gazebo at the end of summer for the purpose of making pizza with my Gozney Roccbox throughout the winter, weather permitting. I am extremely happy with it and is my new getta away place to throw some dough and make Artisan Pies. I bought some snap tarps to enclose it. I couldn’t be happier with this Pizza Gazebo. TY

This was my mothers day present and honest has been the best addition to our backyard. We used it all summer and now into fall. I’m beyond obsessed. It’s so durable but also its so lovely when it rains or drizzles hearing it hit the roof. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking. It took quite a while to put together but the whole family loves it.

I purchased the saxony XL last summer and built it on a deck I built specifically for this gazebo. I absolutely love the functionality of the gazebo from keeping my grills protected, providing sun cover for me, to adding a beautiful conversation piece to the back yard. I added LED rope lights, a menu board and a hook for my apron. I plan to gutter the back this week. the assembly was straight forward and took a day or two working mostly alone. The roof was a four person job. I have recommended this to friends without hesitation. I just stained the whole structure this summer with Cabot semitransparent cedar wood stain. It looks great!

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...

We bought this gazebo a few months ago and absolutely love it! It was relatively easy to assemble and is made of high quality, durable material. It was the perfect addition to the backyard. We spend almost every evening out back enjoying the gazebo! It's also very easy to accessorize. We love it and highly recommend it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a couple of months ago. We were looking for something big enough to hold our grill and smoker. It was easier to assemble than I thought it would be, but definitely need at least 2 people. It is very sturdy and looks beautiful. Great product and well worth the price

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!
