I opted for this size gazebo because it is just small enough to not require a permit in our municipality. The quality of construction is outstanding and it very, very solid. We paid for the installation at the time of ordering. The guys were quick and efficient and did in 2-3 hours what would have likely taken me 2-3 days! The only thing to be aware of is that the packages where delivered to our driveway and where EXTREMELY heavy to move to a more secure location while we waited for our install appointment. Plan on having some very strong people around to move them!

I paid for assembly with my purchase thru Sam's Club. They use a company called Out of the Box Installation and that was the beginning of my nightmare. Twice, their tech did not show up for the appointment because he said they sent him to another "job" instead. The tech finally came out after a whole bunch of back & forth with me and Out of the Box. It was so much trouble that I don't have the time to list here. Bottom line - the Arcadia 9.5x12 gazebo looks great once up. I do wish it had a drip edge or gutter for the rain. If you pay for assembly thru Sam's, please ask for a different company to assemble. The reviews for Out of the Box Assembly are terrible & you better believe every single word!! If I could give them a thousand negative stars, I would. I wouldn't even want them to tie my shoe! Sam's Club & Backyard Discovery needs to stop using them immediately!!!

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.

Bought this gazebo on sale and we absolutely love it! Assembly was easy with 2 people and now my neighbor looks across our fence line with envy. Last steps are to install the power box, attach it to the patio and start buying patio furniture! This has more than enough room for an 8 person square table on one side and a sectional on the other. Between the two we are going to have a propane heater for the winter. Very excited!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This grill gazebo is beautiful and great quality. Assembly wasn't bad... 2 guys had it done in about 5 hours. My husband will be able to grill in the shade now which helps a lot in Florida. We also ordered a large gazebo from Backyard Discovery to have some shade sitting on our patio furniture. I can't wait to get that assembled. If you are on the fence, order it! You won't regret it.

I am very disappointed in regards to the front top board is three pieces. Depsite us properly torqing the bolts in a circular pattern a little at a time the board is still not perfectly straight. This is the most important board in the structure. Overall I am happy but this is a disappointment.

We purchased this grill gazebo in October. We decided to pour a concrete pad to put it on, so we didn't compete the assembly until the end of November. The instructions were simple to follow and my husband and I were able to assemble by ourselves, and we are in our 60's! The quality of everything was top notch and we are thrilled with how it looks. We are anxious to move our grill and new smoker under roof, but think we'll wait until the temperatures get a little warmer than 30 degrees!

This is a quality product with all included hardware. I deviated from some chronological assembly steps for a few reasons. 1. I bolted the four posts to the concrete before attaching the roof because I did not want a gust of wind to blow it over. 2. I assembled the roof truss framing and installed it before adding sheetmetal. It was easier to lift into place and secure first. I then installed the sheetmetal. The directions called for the perimeter roof trim to be placed 360° on top of the sheetmetal ribs. The problem is that the design does not take into consideration the need for a rear drip edge. I did not want water to flow under the trim and down the wood. I, therefore, placed the tear trim under the ribs. Water will now be directed 1/2 inch away from the wood and will then drop straight down. It will also alleviate pine needles from getting trapped under the trim.

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.

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.
