The barbecue gazebo is ab attractive addition to our backyard patio. The gazebo came in two boxes. The assembly is quite lengthy. The parts are well labeled and correspond well with the installation manual. The manual says 3 hours to assemble but that wasn't the case for me. It took about 12 hours but we went slow taking care to double check our work. Three people will be needed for the roof but if you can get a fourth person it will help. Don't skip steps. If you do you may regret it. I must commend Backyard Discovery for the precise layout for the assembly points for this gazebo. Everything lined up precisley which was quite impressive considering all the connections that needed to be made and the nature of wood (contraction, expansion, warping etc.). We were missing poles so we called the manufacturer and they shipped out the missing poles the same day we called. If you are good at putting things together then go for it. For those who may find this challenging I would reccomend hiring someone to put it together. Great product. I would highly recommend it.

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 review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this gazebo as a Mother's Day gift for my wife. I needed help and of course our kids are all adults and couldn't help me assemble, so my wife aided me. For the very first time, we were able to complete a project with no bickering, hurt feelings or bad words. Easy to follow directions and simple 2 person assembly made this a perfect addition to our pool area. I used the table to aid in assembly also.

We bought the gazebo last fall since it was out of stock everywhere last summer, but with such solid reviews we wanted to wait…..and it was well worth the wait!! What a well built gazebo for the money and the design is so convenient having the two shelves while cooking! I can’t say enough good things! We even added our own panels on the back for additional shade and protection. If on the fence, press “buy” today.

I put this together in one weeekend mostly by myself. The Instructions are really good. I am 5 foot tall so I needed a pretty tall ladder for some of the roof parts but it worked. Did need help lifting the sides up but if you can get a friend to help for an hour doing that, otherwise you are good to go solo. I love it so much!

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.] We bought this in late spring in preparation for our annual Pig Roast to cover our cinder block pig spit. While it took us 2 days to put together, and we needed the help of a couple strapping neighbors to get the roof on, the quality of the build is EXCELLENT!!! SOLID construction, so no worries about wind or snow piling on the roof. It even has it's own cord block so we added an LED light string around the perimeter! We love it so much we are thinking about getting a bigger gazebo for our porch next season!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this because we need to get my husbands smoker off the main deck and this design was what we were looking for. It looks great at the end of our pool and the color matches our deck color perfectly. It was just my husband and me assembling it and it took the two of us 3 days, during the hot summer days of July. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. Just lay out all of your parts/pieces in number order and the process is faster. We made a few changes to ours by moving one of the end tables to the front and adding some additional wood siding for privacy. It's a very sturdy gazebo and definitely worth the investment.

I was planning on designing and building my own covered grilling / smoking area, but I have been "planning" for 4 years now, and somehow never got around to it. Then I saw an ad for the Saxony XL Gazebo and it was exactly what I wanted to build. I finally decided to go ahead and buy this kit and am very happy that I did! The hardest part of this project for me was the site preparation. I had to clear out old landscaping and run electrical wiring for a smoker and lights. Then I installed pavers and was finally ready to assemble the gazebo. After staining all the parts, assembly was a breeze. I was very impressed with how well laid out everything was and all pilot holes and whatnot were right on. I was having a bit of a hard time attaching the roof panels but found that setting the front edge on some scrap 2x4's made it much easier. You can see that in the first photo. The next hardest part was putting the roof on, but luckily three of my son's friends came over to help. They are all over 6' so we didn't even need a ladder! :) Now I just need to get my grill and smoker in place and do some landscaping around the gazebo. But somehow it got to be December and in the Pacific Northwest, that is not a great time for yardwork...

Had this Arcadia Gazebo installed September 2024 to cover our jacuzzi and patio table! It is beautiful and the perfect size. The gazebo is exactly what I wanted for our recently purchased home. We've already installed a fan and beautiful lights on it. I couldn't have been more pleased! I absolutely love my gazebo!  It is exactly what I envisioned to cover my patio and keep the rain away from the house!
