Totally agree with the adaptation of the instructions and using duct tape, in our opinion tjis is the only way of assembeling the roof. We are pleased with the gazebo now its up but find the quality of the curtains a little poor.
We had been looking for a Gazebo for a long time and eventually found this company. We absolutely love the product and think it is great value. The only problem we encountered was putting the roof together that drove us mad, however with help from our son and daughter and a few choice words it went together, you need to adapt the instructions. And make sure you have at least two step ladders for this job, well worth it though.
Think this company and there customer service is excellent
So far so good! It's beautiful! It took 3 of us to put it together and we had a couple of challenges but finally got it done. We have it near the pool as a shaded area to enjoy. After three canvas gazebo s ( and fighting mold and mildew) I'm hopeful this is the right fit!
Bought one with a canvas top 2 years ago and after 1.5 years of the sun it didn't withstand the winds of a tropical storm. This one Looks great. Took a 4 - 5 hours to put together but got it done. And providing the shade we need here in FL.
The roof panels and gazebo frame are made from high quality coated steel and once anchored to concrete it seems very strong and secure. Basic instruction sheet but no issues until we came to fitting the roof! Following the instructions was impossible and we had to call Aosom customer services for help. Although very helpful, the only advice was to follow the instrucions given which was no help! After a break, husband decided to use duck tape and on the ground tape both panels together and with a lot of patience, pushing and up/down we eventually managed to get all panels up. Probably took us a couple of days to complete the whole gazebo. Once up, it is fantastic and our furniture looks great. Would really recommend. Unable to provide photos as size too large to download!
The roof was difficult to assemble. The gazebo seems somewhat upmarket. I live in Texas and we'll see if it blows down in our wintertime 60 mph winds. Do like the appearance very much. It is very good size for back yard.
