All parts acounted for. You can build it with one person if you have 2 ladders otherwise at least 2 people are required for some of the roofing assembly. Instructions are pretty simple to understand with only pictures & labels to follow along with. All wood is labeled. All parts are labbled & you just match the photos to the pieces. The cedar planks & beams smell amazing. The washers are on the cheap side & dig into the wood if you overtighten so be careful. Cant wait to sit under this in a rain storm. Has dual curtain/fly netting rails built inside of the unit. It has a ceiling hook for lights or flowers & a translucent skylight that lets some light in during the day. Use some thread locker for the metal roof beams so they dont come loose from constant wind. Way easier & way cheaper than building from scratch or hiring a contractor. You can laquer the wood to keep it protected & last even longer.
Arrived via FEDEX undamaged and driver took pallet with him. Wood and metal parts are of high quality with a very smooth finish. Assembly was easy and everything fit exactly as described. I assembled all of the wood parts and this plus the orderly lay-out of parts took me about 6 hours. My nephew and son helped me erect the wooden frame and building the roof for about 4 hours. looks beautiful and is everything as advertised. A couple of suggestions to make and excellent product even better: 1. Label the wooden parts like the metal ones 2. Screws EE are too small to fasten connectors H-2 to the posts. A couple pulled out during placement of the roof structure. Replaced with larger screws and all is fine. Now if could just find a mosquito netting that fits this thing (the pipes to hang it came with the kit) I would be very happy
We are absolutely in love with our gazebo. It was a bit of a challenge to erect, but it was so worth every second. It is absolutely solid. We do have it bolted to the deck, and there is absolutely no wiggle or shift from it. We have enjoyed it during rain and were completely protected, and with the rods we were able to hang screens to protect us from the bugs, and curtains to block the sun. Absolutely worth the purchase!!
This gazebo is gorgeous and well made. I took 2 people for parts of it but overall it can be a one man job if youre pretty handy. Hopefully it holds up to heat I live in Las vegas 110. Wouod update if anything changes
All parts went together without difficulty. Instructions were well presented in pictures. You need to make sure you look at the pictures and your part orientation is correct. The parts are neatly packaged and labeled. A great looking product when you are done. Totally took 7 hours to build. One person to do preassembly for 4 hours to stage the parts. Two people on a scaffold to assemble the roof. One person to hand parts up. One person to pull the right components and hardware. Very efficient crew.

This gazebo is very beautiful and sturdy. However, it needs some work to assemble. Instructions were clear. Nice part is it has a hook which can hold lights.
