Sunjoy L-GG032PST-C

Another high-grade premium grill gazebo, the Sunjoy L-GG032PST-C balances a unique aesthetic appeal with long-lasting durability in order to provide the future centerpiece of your patio or pool deck (alongside your grill, of course).

The Sunjoy L-GG032PST-C’s peak barn-style roof is one of its most attractive qualities. Visually, this feature replicates the aesthetic appeal of a permanent gazebo. Functionally, though, this peaked roof incorporates a double tiered vent system that allows smoke from your grill to easily escape upward.

The Sunjoy L-GG032PST-C can also stand up to nearly anything Mother Nature can throw at it, thanks in large part to its considerably durable full steel construction. Though this makes the model overall heavier than others, this heft can also bring a degree a permeance to this structure and the focal point grill beneath it.

Sunjoy L-GG032PST-C’s owners support this model’s exceptional claims of lasting durability. You too will get to experience the Sunjoy L-GG032PST-C’s durability first hand if you invest in it and use it as protection when your grilling party runs into a bit of adverse weather.

Sunjoy Sylvan Soft L-GZ238PST-11C

For those looking to add a pop of color to their patio while still providing solid weather protection around their grill, the Sunjoy Sylvan provides the kind of aesthetic variety other grill gazebos simply do not offer.

With a lightweight aluminum frame, the Sunjoy Sylvan is also versatile when it comes to placement. When entertaining in your back yard, this grill gazebo can easily be moved to wherever you need the center of attention to be. However, this versatility may be a double-edge sword, as this model is also prone to unintentional shifting in windy conditions if improperly weighted down.

Some grillers are hesitant to take a live flame grill beneath a cloth-like awning. The Sunjoy Sylvan is safe from these concerns, though, thanks to its flame-retardant canopy. Owners of the Sunjoy Sylvan really appreciate this degree of safety, noting that it makes this model an easy repeat purchase. Even if it is your first grill gazebo, you’ll find that the Sunjoy Sylvan provides nearly everything you could hope for given its reasonable price tag.
