I am always cautions with the installation of large items. This was definitely a large item to assemble. So many times you have problems. BUT NOT HERE. This Gazebo is great. Quality parts, solid oiled cedar wood, powder coated steel roof, all protected from shipping mishaps. Directions were excellent, easy to understand. They include a bag of spare parts just in case, we didn't need many. I love it. Very sturdy. My old Gazebo would get blown around, had to weigh it down. I don't think this one is going anywhere. 500 lbs and vented roof to let wind escape. Installation: Other reviews report taking days to assemble. There were 3 of us, 3 ladders and good tools. You need a power screwdriver/nutdriver! We began unpacking and sorting parts at 7am. Sitting in chairs enjoying the shade under the Gazebo at 3pm! Have already recommended this highly to others. I am very impressed with this Sunjoy product.
The instructions could use more words instead of just pictures. Some are not very clear. Also the upper roof doesn't sit quite right. Both of these things I've seen as comments from other people. The packaging of the nuts and bolts could not have been better. No parts missing. The gazebo arrived in a very short time, that was great.
EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED! Incredibly engineered and executed design. This product was very planned and well executed by manufacturer. They did an excellent job with fabrication, tagging, wrapped, sorted, stacked, and boxing. Arrives in TWO (2) Cartons. FYI, if they call prior to delivery, confirm a lift gate – Bill of Lading said it was Authorized by shipper – Sometimes they try to avoid transferring to a truck with the gate. Two people can barely move, push, slide the cartons on their own. Probably the heaviest cartons I have ever tried to move without a forklift. LOL Opened cartons on floor of shop. DO NOT UNLOAD. These cartons have been packaged with the items you need first on top with following items under them. Quite convenient. Find the two containers of miscellaneous hardware and the instructions. Yes, the instructions can be initially a bit challenging, however they are clear if you read them first front to back, then study the steps using the Tagged Items from cartons shown in the top right of each page. Honestly, it is quite easy as there are not many unique parts. Does include a few disposable tools but never used.
All things considered, it was not outrageously difficult to put together. The only issue I have is putting on the roof where the ribs did not line up and putting on the top cap, something was not right. The end result is a beautiful gazebo which I absolutely love.
My family and I love this new addition to our back yard getaway. I put this together by myself in about 14 hrs., the directions were pretty good, but could use a little verbiage besides just pictures. I highly recommend this sturdy pavilion
We are so pleased with our new Gazebo. Everything was properly packaged and delivered on time. We highly recommend it to anyone interested in buying one.
