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.

Bought this to replace a 2 year old canopy top grill gazebo that was already damaged by sun and wind. Directions state 2-3 people to install but I actually installed everything myself in about 9 hours except putting the roof on (roof is first installed on the ground and is around 150 pounds). Me and my son put the roof on ourselves (we’re both 6’ 2” so that helped). It’s a perfect fit on our back 10’ x 12’ concrete slab patio so it’s functioning as both a patio and grill gazebo. Looks awesome and hopefully lasts for years to come.

This a great addition to our yard and outdoor space. It is a few feet from our pool, and provides terrific shade and electrical charging for our pool cleaning gadgets. The quality of the wood and the workmanship are top notch. I had a couple of issues, and the staff at Back Yard Discovery were awesome. Questions answered and concerns taken care of. Absolutely recommend their products!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love our saxony XL! Has made grilling out in less than ideal weather a snap! Threw on some solar powered lighting so cooking at night is just as easy. Well built and sturdy, it gets the job done. Has completely extended our cooking season to fulll year!

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.] 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.

This is an excellent product, we live on the east coast of Florida and we tend to have strong winds, this has a wind rating of 100 mph! the quality of the kit is above what i ever expected. the pre-drilled hole matched up precisely. the instructions were relatively easy to follow and the end result is wonderful!

I purchased this grill gazebo to put on an 8‘ x 8‘ concrete pad. After three years of replacing metal gazebos that just bent in the wind or rusted through the year it was time to make the bigger investment in a nice cedar gazebo. The construction recommends two adults, I took an entire day and did it by myself. I am 6 foot 2, 220 pounds and most of the construction was able to be completed safely with just myself. To place the roof on the top of the structure, You definitely need another adult of equal height and a ladder. For most of the process, you can get it done with just one person, but lifting the roof onto the top of the structure does require a second grown adult. I love the way it looks. I would purchase it all over again and recommend it to all my friends. It’s a wonderful addition to our yard!

Backyard Discovery includes superior quality components with good fit-and-finish. Saxony XL Grill Gazebo is a good size for our patio. Full sized gazebos are too large and other brand grill gazebos, too small. Also, cheaper gazebos from some other brands have parts that appear inferior in quality - a few extra bucks spent here was well worth it. Flipped one countertop to the inside to better suit our needs. Added LED lights under the roof and finished it in an Olympic stain to preserve the wood and it looks great!

Great gazebo! Looks good and fits our space beautifully. Wife is extremely happy. Will watch to see how it weathers over time. Lessons learned: The instructions provide many opportunities to make mistakes that require disassembly and reassembly. Specifically, the instructions fail to provide accurate indications of top/bottom, front/back, left/right WITHIN in each step. It also doesn’t tell you that you will need two, three, and four people to perform some steps. The online and paper instructions are not the same. Backyard Discovery should assemble the gazebo and validate their instructions every step and sub-step of the way, and update both online and paper instructions. 12 hours is a pretty good estimate for assembly. Customers should be cautioned that the stained wood will most likely be scratched up during assembly. It would be helpful to include a small container of the stain used or at least the brand name and color.
