We purchased this gazebo about two weeks ago, I’m very pleased with it. Installation was easy until we had to construct the roof. I think after framing the roof, the instruction should have you install that portion of the roof before you put on the roof panel, because it's so much added weight. I had to call a friend to help, because the roof was so heavy, and my small frame wife was no help. Anyway, we got the roof in position, and everything lined up perfectly.

Love it! Assembling for me consisted of using included instructions and BILT app. Assembled with a little help from my wife and daughter to place the roof frame. Despite the instructions it worked out better to complete the wooden roof frame. Making sure it was perfectly square then lifting and placing on the main frame. Then attaching the metal panels since I didn’t have the manpower to lift both on top fully assembled.

This gazebo is worth every penny! It was well made, all the holes were drilled currently for easy assembly, and all the items were included. Directions said it would take 3 people 5 hours and they were almost exact. You will need that third person for some of the steps.

We LOVE it. Great quality, and easy assembly. The customer service at Backyard Discovery is SUPERB! A simple text to let them know we were missing a piece (that we probably lost). Took approximately 8 hours to put together by my husband mostly on his own, I helped with the roof. We fudged the roof instructions and assembled the roof on the roof then attached the roof metal, rather than trying to lift the whole roof on top - it's VERY heavy - so you could do it by instructions if you had 2-3 full grown men to lift it up there. We use it as a gazebo on our deck. LOVE IT!

I bought and assembled my grill gazebo earlier this month. The kit was very well packed and came with all the necessary hardware including some extras! The directions were fairly easy to follow but you need to pay attention to the details in the pictures. I found it easier to build the roof structure and mount it before installing the roof panels. It was much lighter to lift with two people. Once installed, we added the roof panels one by one using two ladders. The gazebo looks great and is very functional. I have both my pellet grill/smoker and BBQ side by side under the gazebo!!

I purchased my Backyard Discovery Saxony XL grill gazebo to for our outdoor grill station. All of our parts were in great condition and install was pretty straightforward. It's great having a place to cook and serve hot off the griddle or smoker . Couldn't be happier with the purchase.

So far I like this unit. the hardware is well made. The wood is very light. imIt is supposedly cedar so we'll see how it lasts. The assembly instructions were actually pretty good. However, I recommend a couple of deviations. Place the roof frame on before the roof panels. It is otherwise much too heavy, especially if putting on a deck. Also, the rood trim slips under the panels and the have you leave out the outer row of screes. Do that on all 4 sides (picture doesn't imply that). Also the second to last row on the long side needs loosened to slide in the trim.

I missed out last year when they went on sale. But I got one this year for $799. I put it together in a weekend myself with help from our son to lift up the top panel. It took about 12 hours in all to complete. Very welcome shade as I live in the Phoenix area.

Excellent addition to our deck as a grill gazebo! First, the 3 boxes this came in were very heavy- going to need at least 2 people to move to the area of the build. Second, you will absolutely need at least 3 people to get the roof on. Highly recommend you sort all of the wood and hardware pieces BEFORE you begin the build. We set up 2 separate 6 foot tables for each. All of the hardware is easily listed via stickers on each bag so don't get overwhelmed with the amount of bags! The wood is all labeled on the ends with the corresponding part %23. We had to utilize both the paper booklet of instruction and the Built App recommended- and the app was definitely more useful at times. This is sold construction; all of the pre-drilled holes lined up perfectly. You even get extra pieces of hardware "just in case". We did not put the roof panels on until after the roof was put into place as other reviewers recommended same and we're glad we did! It took 3-4 people to get the roof frame into place safely. Side tables are nice and the power port allows for phone charging while grilling. This is worth every penny!

Assembly instructions are well written, plenty of pictures easy to follow.
