Pros
- Prints both clearances in its manual: 6 ft 2 7/16 in under the lowest beam, 73.3 in between the posts
- 5-year warranty from the maker, sold and shipped by Amazon
- PowerPort with 3 outlets and 3 USB ports
- 72 written reviews for this size, 13 of them critical — the tail is shipping damage and missing brackets, not failures
Cons
- The posts are cedar, and Backyard Discovery's own booklet says 'Wood is NOT flame retardant and will burn'
- A Weber Spirit E-325 is 48.3 in wide: in a 73.3 in opening that leaves about 12.5 in each side, against Weber's 24 in from combustible materials
- The 100 mph rating needs the anchoring in the manual, and the warranty excludes wind anyway
- More than twice the price of the steel-and-aluminum picks; the 4.6 is shared with other Backyard Discovery gazebos
Out of the box: damaged or warped wood, missing brackets and bolts, holes that had to be drilled out; one owner doubts the wood is cedar.
