We bought this over the summer and built it after the concrete slab was poured. Super quality. We are 68 and 75 and only needed help lifting the roof on. We sealed all the wood before construction and plan to reseal every year. I would not hesitate to buy - what a great addition to our home.

From ordering to delivery to setup this is a great product. The material was high quality. The directions were actually decent. I do recommend that you read them through once, lay out parts and tools, and also when doing some of the middle steps look ahead then go back and do the step. I found this to help support what the end result would be on the current step. I would challenge the takes three hours! And having 3 friends is helpful. 4 to lift the roof. Lastly once assembled it is heavy and hard to move so be prepared. A great buy and product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a few months ago and looks amazing and fits the need perfectly. Assembly directions where so simple to follow and went togther as directed. Was able to do 90 percent solo and then with an extra person came togther quickly. Only thing I needed to add afterwords was so drip edge to the backside to further keep the rain off the back end.

As a man with pale skin, this coverage has saved my life. It prevents those nasty UV rays from raging war on my skin. The aesthetics are great as well. My boyfriend loves how it matches our home. He is able to freely decorate it as he pleases. It’s a winning combo!

I purchased this gazebo to add necessary shaded area in my backyard. I had my handyman put it together; he thought it was well made. I'm happy with the quality and all pieces, bolts, etc were included. I wished the back opening was more private so we added cedar boards/slats & it worked out great! Would recommend this gazebo to others looking for a quality product.

I couldn’t be happier with this gazebo. The 14x12 Arcadia is the perfect fit for our patio, providing both shade and a beautiful focal point in the backyard. The cedar wood is rich in color, sturdy, and really elevates the whole space. Assembly does take some time (a solid weekend project for two people), but every piece is well-labeled and precision cut, which made the process straightforward and satisfying. Once assembled, the structure feels rock-solid and has handled both wind and heavy Nebraska summer storms without issue. The modern, lean-to roof design complements the house perfectly and gives just the right amount of height and openness. We added string lights, and now it feels like a true outdoor living room. What I especially appreciate is that it’s functional year-round: it keeps the grill and dining set covered, while still letting in plenty of natural light. For the price, you’re getting something that looks custom-built, but at a fraction of the cost. If you’re on the fence—don’t hesitate. This gazebo is a fantastic investment in both your home’s value and your outdoor lifestyle.

We bought this gazebo to replace a cloth topped unit we have had for 3 years. The packaging was great, the boxes sat covered on my trailer for 2 months while we refurbished our deck prior to setting up the gazebo. I was pleased to see everything was in good shape when we unpacked everything. We did not have a chance to inspect the boxes at delivery, so we inspected after they had left, and where pleased to see all looked good. The metal roof installation can be tricky since you can't walk it, but it turned out good. I added a black drip edge to low end, and will have a 5" gutter installed as well. My only criticism of the unit is the front and rear ends are not solid pieces. The sandwiching at the ends of them are not ideal in my opinion. But overall a very nice unit and I would recommend highly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wife bought this for my birthday. Really good to have some shade on a summer day. Remember to anchor down as mine was caught by the wind and blew over onto our fence..... Didn't hurt the gazebo but hard on the fence. Well built!

[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.
