Instructions were easy to follow once we got all pieces sorted out and separated. It took a total of 12 hours to complete. I did most of the work with my wife and daughter helping out when I needed an extra hand or two. Its been a little over a year now and the gazebo is still solid and looks great. I would recommend using an 8 to 10 foot ladder to attach roof and panels. I only had a 6 foot and found it very challenging to reach top to secure screws. We installed a shade curtain, a small ceiling fan and misters and boy they help on a hot day! I would totally recommend this product. I went through 3 cheaply made canvas top gazebos in 10 years. I feel this will last 20 years or longer. Well worth the extra money!
So we knew this was out of our league to put together and hired two handy men to install. It took them 6 hours and all went well. We use it daily right off of our back deck and could not be happier. It's great relief from the Summer Sun in Virginia to Winter Snow storms, Heavy Wind and Rain are no longer issues to be outside. Its has a great look and is so much sturdier then what we consider prior to the all metal supports. Handy men priced out building one for us when we showed them this online before purchasing but after crunching the numbers told us this was a better value and it came in under.
Not too hard to assemble with 2 people (4 people when attaching posts together to frame is helpful. Looks great and seems durable. Much nicer than a previous canvas gazebo we had.
