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
Super easy to assemble. Did it all by myself. Solid wood, very high quality. Instructions were super easy to follow and easy to put together. Looks very sturdy and beautiful.
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.
