We bought this to give an outdoor kitchen feel. Exceeded our expectations! Directions were spot on. Took 2 of us a full day to build and got some extra hands to lift the roof on. What an amazing quality product. Even watched it go through a summer Florida storm with no issues!!! Highly recommend!!

The gazebo looks good, the space is nice, and I am happy with the purchase until probably we get some high-speed wind... some screw broke while anchoring them to the concrete, and some wood were not fully glued or a little bit broken. To get replacement pieces, you must pay for it, so it's not worth it.

Our Backyard Discovery Grill Gazebo XL is perfect for covering our pellet grill and soon to be added retro ice chest. It's sturdy and is screwed into the concrete which is important since we live at the top of a hill where we get high wind gusts. My husband added lighting to it which I love. Unfortunately, because of the location, we did not have room to include the side panels for seating. It's perfect for what we needed for a small outdoor kitchen area, providing shade and shelter from the rain. We were even able to stain to match the posts on our house.

This product is great. The gazebo was very easy to assemble with 2 people, with the exception of 2 steps where we did need a third person to help. My husband describes it as putting together a giant lego set. We sealed all the wood prior to assembly which I would recommend. We love this gazebo. It was a great purchase.

This build went extremely easily. I did it by myself over 2 days. About 5 hours each day. I did go slightly out of order. After assembling the rafters, I secured the roof on the gazebo before installing the roof panels. This made it easier to lift the roof up. make sure you recheck for square before adding panels.

We just put our new Gazebo up. We waterproofed the wood which should help it long term. So far i love the way it looks and fits perfect where we put it. The instructions were easy to follow and went together just about how long they tell you about 4 hours by the time you sort and look through all the parts.

This is one of the best investments we have ever made. Quality all the way thru, beautiful structure. This is an extremely well thought out product from manufacturing to end product. I am an engineer and was blown away by the sturdiness of this gazebo. Money well spent.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This fits perfectly on the side of our house. The installers did a great and efficient job. I would give it 5 stars but a couple of the boards don’t line up perfectly preventing the screws from sitting flush. I hope that doesn’t lead to issues down the road. For now, we are very happy with this purchase!!!

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.

I purchased this grill gazebo to put on an 8‘ x 8‘ concrete pad. After three years of replacing metal gazebos that just bent in the wind or rusted through the year it was time to make the bigger investment in a nice cedar gazebo. The construction recommends two adults, I took an entire day and did it by myself. I am 6 foot 2, 220 pounds and most of the construction was able to be completed safely with just myself. To place the roof on the top of the structure, You definitely need another adult of equal height and a ladder. For most of the process, you can get it done with just one person, but lifting the roof onto the top of the structure does require a second grown adult. I love the way it looks. I would purchase it all over again and recommend it to all my friends. It’s a wonderful addition to our yard!
