It’s a great product and fairly simple to build. I put it together myself which I wouldn’t recommend but I am a contractor and I’ve done similar projects. Me doing it by myself moving at my own pace it took me a roughly a day and a half to build. Had I known it was metric I would’ve had an impact gun with metric sockets which would’ve made my job 20 times simpler. Overall I’m highly satisfied with the quality everything is straight and true. I would definitely buy this product again
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!
