Yardistry Meridian Grilling Pavilion

While a concrete pad is the most stable and recommended surface, you can install the pavilion on a deck or patio as long as the surface is level and structurally sound. You will need to ensure you have the appropriate hardware to anchor the 5-inch posts securely to your specific surface type.

The cedar components come finished in a natural cedar stain, so it is ready to assemble right out of the box. To maintain the wood's appearance and longevity against the elements, you should plan to re-apply a stain or sealant periodically, depending on your local climate.

The pavilion has an overall height of 8 feet 10 inches, providing generous overhead clearance for most standard grills and smokers. We recommend measuring the height of your specific equipment with the lid open to ensure you have comfortable working room.

This is a ready-to-assemble kit designed for DIYers, but it is definitely a two-person job due to the size and weight of the components. Expect to spend a full day on assembly, and having a second person to help hold parts in place during the framing process is essential for safety.

The coffee brown aluminum roof is designed to be durable and weather-resistant, providing excellent protection for your grill. However, like any outdoor structure, you should clear heavy snow accumulation from the roof periodically to prevent excess weight, and ensure the posts are properly anchored to withstand local wind loads.
