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 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.] We wanted a lean-to style gazebo to protect our cob oven and have extra room for other outdoor cooking. After pricing out materials to build one from scratch, we found it would have cost close to what we'd spend on the Saxony XL, not to mention take us longer to build without a kit, so we decided to go with this one from Backyard Discovery. We're really happy with the results. We did find out the hard way that it's best to actually follow the instructions to a T rather than assume things and "freelance," so we had to undo things a couple of times and read the instructions more carefully, but all worked out in the end. My husband and I were able to build the gazebo, including lifting the roof into place, without additional help. One roof panel was missing -- which we didn't discover until we actually opened that box when we were ready to put the panels on -- but the missing piece was shipped out to us at no cost and arrived within a few days. The only downside was that the single sheet of metal roofing wasn't braced or padded in the box, and it arrived bent. But we used it as it was, and you can't really see the bend. Overall, we're really happy with the gazebo and the customer service.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually bought this cover for a side porch and it is a great fit! This is my second Backyard Discovery purchase. I loved the quality of my 20x12 Norwood gazebo so much that I purchased this one while my other was being assembled. A neighbor saw both while passing and stopped to say how nice they looked. I've received quite a few compliments on both! And they really do cut out some of the summer heat, a definite plus! No regrets on this purchase! I have one more area to cover and it will definitely be one from Backyard Discovery.

I recently completed erecting this gazebo and I found it to be more difficult to assemble than I thought it would be. I felt that the hardware could have been more simplified being too many different parts and assembling the wood to coincide with it became a chore. I would highly recommend the lay person not attempting to do it yourself.

We are building an outdoor kitchen in Miami, and were looking for a gazebo-type structure to cover and protect the grill island. My wife found the Grill Gazebo, which perfectly fit our needs, and is the right size for our island and needs. My brother, son, and I assembled it yesterday (it is a 3-4 person job) which took about six hours. As you can see from the photos, it fits exactly as we needed. The side shelving is missing as I am waiting for the granite counter to be installed to leave installation/work space to maneuver, but it looks great and matches our cedar fence. I called and ordered a couple of extra truss tie-down "Rafter-Clips, and two L-Brackets to further secure the roof (we live in a hurricane area-you understand) and I wasn't charged for the extra hardware due to recently purchased, which was very kind of Backyard Discovery, thank you. Good product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have really the gazebo for several reasons. It is sturdy & provides shelter from the weather when grilling in the rain or in the hot sun. There is plenty of room for a large grill & still have room to move around. I have added lights & enjoy the ambiance as well. It truly adds so much to the backyard space.

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!!!

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.

We finally got the gazebo installed in the backyard and I absolutely love it. It’s a beautiful structure and the only complaint I have is that with our hot weather here and the tin roof, it is a little on the warm side underneath. But we need to shade.
