Bought this gazebo because of the size and shape for my back porch. It gets lots of sun and was too hot to sit out there, as well to have rain coverage. We flipped it where the high end is next the house so it drains way from the house. Took three of us to put together in about 5 hours and three of us to put the roof on. Best way is to put a ladder in the center and push it up, we had three people to push it. You will have to treat it with stain, but over all high quality, instructions are easy to follow. Looking forward to hanging out now in the backyard. The dogs are too!

This build went extremely easily. I did it by myself over 2 days. About 5 hours each day. I did go slightly out of order. After assembling the rafters, I secured the roof on the gazebo before installing the roof panels. This made it easier to lift the roof up. make sure you recheck for square before adding panels.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a few months ago to replace my old canvas BBQ cover. The installation was very straight forward with great step by step instructions. Everything about the gazebo is of the highest quality, I expect this to last a long time. I added a permanent back for privacy and weather protection and also added removable sides to protect from the cold and snow here in Colorado during the winter; these will be removed for the summer. Just a great product overall and now I can grill in any kind of weather and stay dry and warm.

The Saxony XL is a fantastic gazebo! The quality of the materials is incredible. The lumber is excellent quality, the fasteners are very strong, and all comes very efficiently and safely packaged. The instructions are exceptionally detailed. While rekatively easy to assemble, it does take 2 people, 3 is best when lifting the roof. We used a sealer on all wood components before assembling and allowed ample time to dry. I would have absolutely no hesitation recommending the Saxony XL Grill Gazebo!

We love our Backyard Discovery grill gazebo. It is the final touch our Backyard oasis needed. It houses our Reqtec grill, pizza oven and tables we lay out our food when we are entertaining. The beautiful wood color stands out adding style to our outdoor. It is sturdy and of excellent quality. We love it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this earlier this summer and I have been customizing it ever since. It is stout and so well designed. The wood is very clear and no knots really. It was very easy to put together. Honestly I could have made my own but it would have cost more, and would have taken forever to design and run back and forth to the hardware store for this and that. This was the way to go.

It is always nice to get a little more than you paid for. This gazebo looks excellent and is very functional. It is a lovely addition to our backyard and well worth the money spent. The wood and hardware are exceptional, and the instructions are easy to follow.

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!

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.
