I was able to build this alone in about 7 days. This included staining the wood. You must stain / seal the wood before building or it will last 1/2 as long. I modified 2 of the leg positions so it fit my patio better with out having to buy a smaller one. I also lined the underside so it looks more finished and it radiates less heat from the sun.
This Gazebo's roof framing is all steel and that lets you build it by yourself. You are only working with one piece at a time. Not large roof sections that are heavy. The wood framing type of designs require 2 extra Buddys on the roof lifting days.
Every hole is predrilled. And the holes are in the exact spot needed. No re-drilling any of them!
P.S. I added a Cosmetic liner under to make it look more finished. Its "Bamboo Tatami" material from "Forever Bamboo". One roll was plenty.

When finished, this gazebo looks exactly like the pictures. 90 % I did myself. Mainly needed a little help setting up the tie in beams. I was fortunate to read all the reviews before I started. That gave me a heads-up on what to look for. Look at the picture details. Part orientation is everything!

Overall, This is a very nice gazebo that seems very sturdy and should last a long time. The quality of the parts and hardware provided were pretty good and I did not have issues with it. It looks great and was exactly what I was expecting. After completion, I used concrete anchors in the four corners and added a pair of 120 inch coolaroo roll down shades screwed into the wood. To me, one of the benefits of a wood structure vs. a metal is structure is that it is easier to add hooks or other accessories. Assembly: Assembly took about 12 hours (with breaks) for 2 people. The instructions are actually pretty good and I recommend taking your time and following each step exactly. If you do not assemble things in the order mentioned in the instructions, you may run into issues. Here are a few tips I can give on assembly: 1. Take your time and follow each step exactly 2. It will help to have 1 or 2 extra people when you go to stand up the main structure (this was the hardest part of the entire assembly). Having the extra hands will allow you get have a person on each corner to stabilize the structure while one person gets the lag bolts through. 3. When you lay out the 4 main post, look at the position of the pre-drilled holes for the support brackets. This will help you lay them out in the correct way. I didn't realize this until after I had the structure standing and had to drill new holes in the post for supports (instead of taking the structure back down) 4. Very important: make sure that the structure is square before starting the roof assembly. if the structure is not square (even and inch off), It will make the roof assembly much more difficult as things will not line up as nicely. 5. Use a drill with the correct sized allen head and socket where needed instead of using the supplied allen tool. Your fingers and arms will thank you later. I would definitely recommend this gazebo to others!

My hubby and I were able to put it up by ourselves. We are very happy with this gazebo. Only can not find curtains and screen as of yet. Delivery was prompt and protected nothing was missing. Very satisfied

It is well made. Sturdy when finished. You need some to help with frame, otherwise it’s a one man job. Just follow instructions step by step and you won’t have any problems. Keeps out rain and sun. Added gutters to stop rain from falling on my deck. Very satisfied with quality of product for the price.
