Easy to follow directions. Came with everything needed except for a drill. Impact driver would be preferrable. Would suggest putting metal on the roof panels after it is up rather than before as the instructions suggest, It is quite heavy without the metal and 2 people would not be enough to get it up on top with the metal attached

Excellent materials used for the gazebo and expect many years of use. However, assembly instructions (initially missing from kit but quickly provided by Backyard Discovery) were extremely poor - part numbers for each step are shown but few descriptions as to how actual construction should be done. Plenty of hardware included but 2 boards missing for last step of roof assembly - didn't have time to wait for BD to ship parts, so purchased 1"x4"x12' cedar board at local DIY company and made it work). Even with lots of previous "some assembly required" experience, construction was definitely NOT "easy" as stated in on-line product description due to the lack of detailed instructions - too much time spent trying to interpret what the diagram was trying to show and actual actions needed. No mention on-line or in instruction manual in last step that manufacturer recommends that gazebo be attached to concrete slab or wooden deck that can handle the 410-lb weight of structure. Also, no mention in on-line description that roof assembly must be done on flat ground and that 3+ tall and strong people are then needed to raise the 150-180 lb roof onto frame assembly. It seems that with a few tweaks to the instructions, the roof assembly could be built on top of the frame assembly in a more traditional way of roofing a structure; had to hire 3 people to get the roof up onto the frame. As previously mentioned, expect many years of use from this gazebo and looking forward to getting started doing so.

My wife and I was able to put this together in about 7 hrs. That's included taking breaks and lunch. The directions are step by step and very simple. Please don't be afraid to tackle this project! I bought this one and the 12×14 at the same time. That one took 2-3 because of the rain!

This BBQ gazebo is perfect in so many ways. We purchased with online pickup. Everything is encased within two boxes. Instruction booklet or online website app made it easy to put together. It did take two days to put together, and you need 3 or 4 people to put the roof on after it's built. But it makes a great addition to our pool deck. Highly recommend if you want a classy BBQ gazebo.

So the build of the gazebo went well until the instructions for the attachment of the metal roofing. From that point on everything was off, the roof framing was checked for squareness, which it was the roof metal attachment. Instructions were followed, using the quarter inch reveal on the left side. When the metal roofing got to the right side, there was a 3 inch gap to the edge of the framing had to adjust the metal roofing by taking the measurement from one side and dividing it and a half, so that I could get the metal roofing centered up on the framing, and then put the drip edges on. Other than that, the gazebo went together as the instructions stated and appears to be very sturdy.

I had been watching this for a while and finally decided to pull the trigger. After I got it home I took all the pieces out of the box and organized them. I then applied a sealer/natural color stain to every piece and let them dry. Take your time following directions and you'll be just fine. Now that it's all assembled and up, it is seriously a solid piece and I'm so glad I did it!

Placed order online, drove 60 miles to pick up the gazebo, but when I got home, I noticed that Box 1 of 2 had multiple hand written messages " do not sell" and when I open the box I noticed that 1 of the main boards that sustain the roof was cracked. It is probably easier to duplicate the board with 2x4, than driving 60 miles to return it but I'm very disappointed that Sam's gave me a bad known box.

The grill gazebo itself is a solid product, given the low cost. It’s stable and looks good but they claim it withstands 100mph winds. Problem with that is the cheap concrete anchors they provide - you need 16 total to anchor it to concrete and the first 4 I tried all sheared off. Cheap TEMU Tapcon knockoffs. I’ve used closed to a thousand Tapcons over the past decade building many structures and broke maybe a dozen. Simple process: drill perpendicular to the surface, vacuum out the hole, and drive evenly. The gazebo is good, the anchors are terrible. Do yourself a favor and buy legit anchors so you don’t have to move the gazebo and patch like I did!

Nice gazebo, takes some time to put together and you will need 3 people to lift roof on. Wood post split when attaching anchor hardware. Really only issue I had.

I bought this for my husband and son to go over their BBQ and Oklahoma Joe Smoker. I'm 66 years old (women) and I was able to build the Gazebo by myself—up to the point of putting on the roof. I can truly say that the instructions we pretty easy to follow and putting it to together was rewarding. The finished product is beautiful! And it makes a great addition to our backyard. I definitely recommend this product, you can't beat the price!
