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...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to cover two grills and a smoker and it did the job. It was very well labeled & directions were clear. It did take 5 of us to lift the roof on, but with the extra hands it went on seamlessly. Beautiful product that is now a focal point of my backyard.

Just bought this gazebo for our backyard - delivery was fast, the assembly looks reasonable, and the quality is AMAZING! I like the idea of the built-in PowerPort - it’s something I didn’t find on other gazebos - and I think it will definitely come in handy for our first grill date night! I can’t wait to use it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Acadia 20x9.5 gazebo early this year and am extremely pleased with it. All of the wood is perfectly cut and the instruction made building a breeze. This was definitely worth the money and I highly recommend this product!

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!

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.

What's not to like? Little bit of assembly required with your son and buddies.. What are the rewards? Quality time outdoors spent with family and friends for Years to come! Quality of product? I couldn't have made one any better myself.. Any Problems? Not a single complaint What a beautiful addition to my backyard and will be purchasing more from this company.

We bought this a few months back and were able to put it together and attach to our 12x16 Backyard Discovery Gazebo we bought last year. It took less than 8 hours to put together and has given us a lot of room to grill and lounge around in the back yard.

[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.

I absolutely love my gazebo. It wasn't too difficult to put it together. With the exception of standing it up and putting the roof on, I was able to do it all by myself. I had to reach out to customer support a couple of times and I can't speak highly enough of the excellent support I received. I had responses and resolutions within MINUTES!
