[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This grill gazebo is beautiful and great quality. Assembly wasn't bad... 2 guys had it done in about 5 hours. My husband will be able to grill in the shade now which helps a lot in Florida. We also ordered a large gazebo from Backyard Discovery to have some shade sitting on our patio furniture. I can't wait to get that assembled. If you are on the fence, order it! You won't regret it.

We bought 2 of these gazebos to cover the back patio of our new home. They are a little longer than advertised, about 6 inches. I had to cut some length off the second one to fit with the house, but, wow, did it turn out great! The fit of all the pieces and the quality of the materials and hardware are wonderful! We’ve really enhanced our outdoor space in a beautiful way. Construction went pretty well. Some steps really need at least 1 people, but not for very long. I highly recommend these!

I opted for this size gazebo because it is just small enough to not require a permit in our municipality. The quality of construction is outstanding and it very, very solid. We paid for the installation at the time of ordering. The guys were quick and efficient and did in 2-3 hours what would have likely taken me 2-3 days! The only thing to be aware of is that the packages where delivered to our driveway and where EXTREMELY heavy to move to a more secure location while we waited for our install appointment. Plan on having some very strong people around to move them!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We are loving our grill gazebo! It has plenty of space. It is sturdy and was easy to set up. Ours is actually set up backwards so that water drains away from the house but it still looks great! We get so many compliments when we have cookouts.

The Arcadia gazebo is awesome! It was the perfect size for our needs. It ended up being a lot of work but we got it done in a weekend. There were a few issues I had and they are as follows: 1) I wish we didn’t have to spend so much time water sealing the wood. That was huge time suck. 2) I wish Backyard Discovery would offer some gazebos with a back wall. I ended up having to buy some tongue and groove planks and tack them up on the back end to really give us adequate shade and privacy the whole day long. 3) It was almost impossible to do the job with just two people. There were two times, when we were attaching the two side panels to the back panel when I needed to get my wife to help us because two people have to hold the panels together while one guy screws them together. All in all it looks great and the value was there. Now we just have to wait and see if it holds up over time.

Purchased this unit on a Saturday morning, by Sunday afternoon I had been notified it was already in transit, Monday morning I was notified it was in town, and by Wednesday afternoon it was in my driveway. Never got notified it was being delivered, it just showed up. I was able to assemble and get it completed in 20 hrs. including staining and protecting the woodwork, I would highly recommend sorting, inventorying, staining and waterproofing before you start assembly, assembly was not difficult, however it requires you to VERY CLOSELY look and follow the instructions or you're going to screw up. The quality of the wood was very good, all the holes and hardware lined up and went smooth, you're going to need at least 3 people to stand it up (will need them for a couple hours). My only complaints are the crappy anchors they send for the concrete are terrible (I opted to get some real red head concrete anchors instead) and the metal roofing doesn't extend past the drip edge far enough to work very well (1/4" as per instructions). I already have a spot developing on one of the main posts where the wood split a little due to an imperfection in the grain and is starting to swell up some after a good rain, it was stained and water sealed with 2 coats prior, we will see how it goes and maybe need to warranty that post down the road if it continues to get worse. I am likely to purchase another one to build an outdoor kitchen under if this proves to hold up well

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.

My partner and I built this grillzebo over a couple of weekends. The video directions and the booklet made the assembly process very clear given the complexity of the design. My husband originally wanted to build something from scratch, but I’m glad we went with this tried and true design. It is worth the added cost. The individual pieces are cut in such a way to make them not so heavy or unwieldy. The only difficult part was getting the roof on but my partner who is over 6 ft was able to do it with the help of 2 friends. There were a few boards that arrived with small cracks in them, but they didn’t compromise the integrity of the structure and is not that noticeable. I’m interested to see how soon the cedar starts to gray and needs to be stained, but hoping we can get away with doing that next season.

Love this thing. We were able to put it up in about 14 hours. Super easy instructions. Measurements were great do we could assemble exactly where we wanted it. A few days after it was up we had rain early in the morning. The sound of the tin roof brought me back to camping with my parents. Looks great, feels super sturdy. One of the best improvement to our home so far. And the chat feature on the site is truly great. Fast and straight to the point answers. Already contemplating a smaller one to replace our old cloth covered pergola for my grills.

As a man with pale skin, this coverage has saved my life. It prevents those nasty UV rays from raging war on my skin. The aesthetics are great as well. My boyfriend loves how it matches our home. He is able to freely decorate it as he pleases. It’s a winning combo!
