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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Directions were clear, and very easy to put together (considering the massive size). A drill is needed and it comes with all other needed tools and drill bits. Extra screws and nuts etc. come too! I’ve recommended this style and company to my neighbors and family. It’s such a beautiful and very sturdy piece. If you’re on the fence… JUST BUY IT! It will not disappoint!

Great addition, with a few nit picks: The cord for the power strip was too short. The roof trim is easily “tweaked”, making it hard to lay flat. A few of the barrel nuts had threads that needed cleaned up. The finish is much darker than I expected, but it works on my deck. Overall very pleased and happy to get my grill out of the Western Washington weather!

Had this Arcadia Gazebo installed September 2024 to cover our jacuzzi and patio table! It is beautiful and the perfect size. The gazebo is exactly what I wanted for our recently purchased home. We've already installed a fan and beautiful lights on it. I couldn't have been more pleased! I absolutely love my gazebo!  It is exactly what I envisioned to cover my patio and keep the rain away from the house! 

This is the 2nd Backyard discovery structure (1st was the 12 X 20 cedar unit) I have bought and built. Amazing structures with beautiful wood and top-grade hardware. They are very tedious to put up but if you follow the detailed instructions page by page, the end result is very nice and worth the time. I put up this by myself using my tractor with forks to hold the leg assemblies up while I attached the side pieces. Very happy with the final product.

I wasn't sure if it would be too big for our relatively small yard, but it has changed the whole look of our backyard. We used to have the grill pressed up against the house, but we actually moved it out into the middle of the patio with the gazebo over it, hung some lights, and have the table a bit further out... and it looks like the back of a restaurant now. I thought it was neat but I actually really didn't expect it to so dramatically change the look of our yard. People comment on it every time they come over.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My New Gasebo from BYD is awesome!! Looks great, very well made and easy to put together! My back deck was so hot and I very rarely went out there, but now it's my new hangout! I've added a fan and Bluetooth speakers... Awesome!

Purchased one day and sorted one day, completed assembly the next, grilled the next. My neighbors were astounded. Incredibly simple and thoughtful instructions. Well laid out. Well labled, and thoughtfully designed. Every step, every part obviously well engineered. Was a pleasure to assemble.

Backyard landscaping is finally done and the gazebo could not have turned out better. Took a couple days to assemble but turned out great. I didn't way to use string lights, I grill and bbq quite a bit and there is just not enough light. I work in the lighting/electrical engineerimg industry and installed (3) LED strips with black finish to match the ceiling with all of the pipe ran on top of the cover, so it looks pretty clean and very bright.

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.
