Of course ordering something this large I was skeptical that it would arrive unharmed. It arrived in perfect condition. Assembly was fairly straightforward. The quality is very good, I look forward to years of use. I used Coolaroo crank to open sunshades.

This Arcadia 12x10 Gasebo is an awesome addition to my deck! I love it! It was really well packaged, arrived earlier than expected and in very good shape! You definitely need two or people to put it together, but Backyard did an excellent job with instruction, paper and bilt app. They have everything lined up with with very accurate pilot holes and excellent hardware. My deck is off the ground so I added additional support, just incase I would definitely recommend this item to a friend! Matter of fact one of my friends is offering one today, just from the pictures I sent him.

Everyone I know is very impressed so far. Looks beautiful and people are shocked I put it together. My grill table with my kamado fits in perfectly I got put it together myself with my 2 kids (7 and 10). Its very doable for anyone is basic knowledge of putting together furniture, but it did take me more than 4 hours. If I had to make another one, I could do it in less than that now that I know how it all works. Half the time is just making sure your pieces are facing the correct way and sorting all the pieces. It came well packed into 2 boxes. Everything is very well labeled. Each part is stamped, and all the screws are in their own bags, and extras were included in the event you need it. The instructions can be hard to read sometimes but if you take your time you can figure it out. The only thing I was confused about and may have messed up was the roof trim, I think my roof panels were likely misaligned and the trim didnt go on correct or I wasn't sure where it was supposed to go - so maybe plan out both of those steps in advance before you take out the drill

With prices of wood through the roof right now, a roof was out of my budget. With no protection over my charcoal grill, rain has been an issue. When I saw this at Sam's Club, I bought it immediately. The next day after assembling it, I was out there cooking some epic burgers during a very strong spring storm. Rain, thunder and lightning didn't affect my cookout at all. Assembly (for me) took 4 1/2 hours and I had to invoke the help of my wife and daughter a couple times, but it wasn't overly difficult. I would have given it 5 stars, but it didn't come with wood lag bolts for fastening to our aging deck. A trip to Lowe's remedied that. Plus, they only have 4 roof rafter brackets, and in my most humblest opinion, it should have had 6.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this in late spring in preparation for our annual Pig Roast to cover our cinder block pig spit. While it took us 2 days to put together, and we needed the help of a couple strapping neighbors to get the roof on, the quality of the build is EXCELLENT!!! SOLID construction, so no worries about wind or snow piling on the roof. It even has it's own cord block so we added an LED light string around the perimeter! We love it so much we are thinking about getting a bigger gazebo for our porch next season!!!

The Backyard Discovery Saxony XL Grill Gazebo exceeded my expectations. We chose the DIY option. It wasn't too difficult to assemble took 3 of us about 6 hours to complete. We ran into one hiccup, but a quick call to the customer service line had the issue resolved in no time at all. If I was to do it again I would probably pay the extra money to have someone else put it together, unless you truly enjoy building things I would recommend a installer. The Gazebo itself is high quality and looks amazing. They do recommend you weather seal it after you put it together, so make sure you plan to do that to keep it looking amazing for years to come. The plugs it comes with are great and a nice added touch. Overall, this gazebo is a home run and a great value. It is super durable and feels solid.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this grill gazebo and it took a little to put it together, but once we finished it looks amazing. You definitely need at least 2 people to assemble, but honestly it’s not bad and the instructions are superb. The quality of all the backyard discovery products are superb, and look amazing!!

The Arcadia gazebo is awesome! It was the perfect size for our needs. It ended up being a lot of work but we got it done in a weekend. There were a few issues I had and they are as follows: 1) I wish we didn’t have to spend so much time water sealing the wood. That was huge time suck. 2) I wish Backyard Discovery would offer some gazebos with a back wall. I ended up having to buy some tongue and groove planks and tack them up on the back end to really give us adequate shade and privacy the whole day long. 3) It was almost impossible to do the job with just two people. There were two times, when we were attaching the two side panels to the back panel when I needed to get my wife to help us because two people have to hold the panels together while one guy screws them together. All in all it looks great and the value was there. Now we just have to wait and see if it holds up over time.

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!

The gazebo came with all material required for assembly. My wife and I assembled it in a couple days without too much difficulty. The wood is very light and the posts are hollow, but the assembled product is sturdy. We already have some dark spots on the wood after 7 months, so it looks like sanding and staining will be an annual recurring maintenance at the very least. Overall we are satisfied with this product.
