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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best quality material as wood, roof, etc as I expected and match with the price. Variety size of products, so I can choose the right one for my needs. The assembler also finished it professionally.

Very nice piece for your property! Website offers someone to put it together for you for an expensive price. Honestly this project was over whelming coming out of the box.. full table of hardware (nuts, washers and bolts) 2 tarps full of pieces to assemble. Having it together and knowing what I know now I’d pay to have it put together unless you have a solid week of nothing to do… us 2 men got it put together in 4 sun up to sun down days… The app to use to build this is absolutely awesome. 360 view and you can tap every item to see what it is (down to a washer) and rotate it any way you want. I wish every assemble project was on that app. Although we did run into some part number issues and had to refer back to the hard copy Manuel as bolts 999 do not exist in the package and the app calls for them. A few things where off from the app to book but it was easy to figure out once we looked at the book. Still very worth using the app for assembly. 10/10 recommend staining before putting together. Each section and center beams where 4 boards that had to be bolted together to make one board, that seemed like it could have just been one board cut to spec for each section and would have saved about a days labor but I’m not an engineer so take that for what it’s worth. Also the sheet metal roof, each section of the roof (3) sections came with one little small strip of sheet metal to put at the end of each section. The sheet metal could have been cut wider to fit 8 sheets per section instead of 8 and adding the little strip.. that added extra time to the build. Once all together it’s super heavy, very sturdy and beautiful. We used this to cover our concrete pad at the back door to turn it into a covered patio instead of using it as a carport. It worked great and fits right under the gutters almost against the house. All in all PAY someone to put it together for you!

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.

I needed a gazebo no taller than 8 feet or so, since I wanted to keep my tress without much trimming. This gazebo fits our space perfectly. I know it's called the 'XL Grill Gazebo', but for us it's the pool tools and shade gazebo. The power box and shelves are perfect for pool items and other backyard tools. The shade space is great. I would have loved a bigger one, but don't have the space in the area I had designated. Installation was professional and my dealings with the BYD service folk was outstanding. The quality of the solid cedar wood parts is exceptional. I would definitely recommend BYD with no reservations.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this for my husband about 6 months ago. He loves that he he can grill in any kind of weather. It holds many of his toys and is loved by many men in the neighborhood. It is probably the best gift I ever bought for him.

[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.

I bought this back in October and it took me 2 days to complete. Pretty straightforward instructions just keep all your fasteners separated. Definitely solicit the help from two or three friends to put the roof portion on hasn't made it very easy. I purchased corrugated galvanized Barn Roofing from the local hardware store and covered in the back which is very helpful when it snows as you can see from the pictures. Miss gazebo is well worth the price and a bargain compared to others.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased my gazebo to try and make my grilling experience more enjoyable. Until I got it I was grilling outside and at the mercy of the weather. Now I can grill whenever I please. The convenience of the electrical outlets and the hangers for your accessories is great. It looks wonderful and so far it has been a wonderful addition to our outdoor space. Assembly took me approximately 8 hours alone with the exception of the roof where my wife assisted me. The directions are good but do not emphasize a couple things. Lay out your roof before you begin fastening it. It does not reach edge to edge. Lay out your roof trim also. It can be a little tricky. And most importantly, assemble it in the location you want it to be. It’s very heavy. Overall I am very satisfied and would recommend this grill gazebo.

[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.
