Grand Double-Tier Wooden Gazebo

My wife and I built the wood frame one day, and then I built the rest myself over the course of a couple more afternoons. If you can build IKEA, you can build a SunJoy gazebo! No special tools or skills are needed. The gazebo looks sharp, and when decked out with lights, plants and furniture, it's a true backyard oasis. Overall, a great product - especially for those not inclined or skilled enough to tackle a full DIY pergola or gazebo build.

Modern Adjustable Canopy Pergola with Privacy Wall

I wanted to finish out one side of our back yard with a pergola for some added shade. When I found this one while searching online, I fell in love with the modern, sleek look! I love the clean lines and the black and white color. It’s so nice to be able to adjust the canopy to either side for added shade and privacy depending on where the sun is. It will be so nice to have and use throughout the years when we entertain our friends and family!

Aquasis Floating Pool Gazebo

Couldn't live without it! I bought this tent last month and loved it so much that I bought a second one. Most of our pool is now covered, and it looks very nice in the backyard. My wife especially loves that she does not have to worry as much about the dangers of harsh sun rays anymore. It was easy to set up, feels sturdy on the water, and has made our pool much more comfortable. We highly recommend this tent.

Grill Gazebo with Shelves and Hooks

I couldn't be happier with my Sunjoy Grill Gazebo! This gazebo has truly transformed my outdoor cooking experience. Having shade and protection from the elements for my pizza oven and BBQ is an absolute game-changer. I love the additional accessories, especially the hooks for hanging towels or oven mitts, and the three shelves are perfect for placing spices or even hanging a plant. Now, I can comfortably cook and entertain guests without worrying about the weather. Highly recommend this grill gazebo for any outdoor cooking enthusiast!

Propane Gas Fire Pit Table

Absolutely love my new outdoor fire pit purchase. It's perfect for cozy nights with friends and family, we enjoyed s’mores on our very first night. It fits beautifully under our gazebo, and when it's not lit, we use it as a table for drinks and snacks. We just love sitting around it in the evenings. The easy-start ignition and adjustable flame controls are great, and the sturdy design with the gorgeous stone top makes it even better.

Backyard Staycation FAQs

Gazebo vs. pergola: Which is right for me?

Gazebo: Features a solid, fully covered roof that blocks rain, snow, and sun 100% of the time. Best for full all-weather protection and outdoor dining.

Pergola: Features an open-slat or retractable fabric roof for adjustable sunlight. Ideal for flexible shade over lounges, pools, or garden paths.

What furniture is best for outdoor spaces?

Choose weather-resistant materials like powder-coated aluminum, rust-resistant steel, cedar, or all-weather PE wicker. Match soft furniture (like upholstered sofas) with covered gazebos, and use quick-drying, removable cushioned sets for open pergolas or exposed decks.

How can I keep my backyard cool in summer?

Combine solid overhead shade (hardtop gazebo or closed pergola) with active cooling. Use built-in ceiling hooks to mount outdoor fans, hang privacy curtains to block afternoon side-sun, or use portable spot-cooling units for seating areas.

Are Sunjoy outdoor products weather-resistant?

Yes. They feature rust-resistant powder-coated steel or aluminum frames, rot-resistant FSC-certified cedar wood, and heavy-duty galvanized steel hardtops built for rain, wind, and snow. Canopies and netting use fade- and water-resistant UV fabrics.

How do I handle assembly if I'm not a DIY expert?

All kits come pre-cut and pre-drilled. For easy setup, follow the BILT App for 3D step-by-step interactive instructions. Alternatively, you can book professional assembly directly through Sunjoy’s partnership with Assembly Help.
