Extremely happy that we made this purchase after searching and searching in different websites. This gazebo is solid. You do need an extra helping hand to set this up. We installed a rolling sun shade for protection for days we bbq when the sun is scorching hot and it looks very nice. Great purchase and satisfied.
I was VERY IMPRESSED with the way the kit was packaged, designed, and assembled!!! When it arrived, I didn't think everything was in the 2 boxes. So, I was concerned. When we assembled it, I was surprised to see everything was accounted for. We hired 2 people to build it. They had it built and were leaving in 6 hours. The assembly was very accurate. Everything fit and went together just as the instructions suggested. At the time of this writing, the kit is not available. If it was, I would highly recommend it to anyone! If the rest of the Sunjoy Products are as easily assembled and of the quality that this Gazebo was, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!
We are very happy with the gazebo that completes our new outdoor oasis. It took my husband and I eight solid hours to put the gazebo together and required tools outside of the hand wrenches and Allen wrenches provided. Also, the instructions are 98% pictures with no word descriptions so that was trying at times. And having more than two people definitely has it’s advantages, but it is doable with two. The gazebo itself is well made and has withstood some very high winds without moving. We do not have it anchored to the patio. Aside from the instructions, the only other minor complaint I have is that the roof support timbers do not sit tightly into the vertical “W” in the pitch of the roof. So there is a slight gap between the roof support and the top pieces of the “W”. There are dowels between the vertical boards and roof supports so it is secure and is just aesthetically off from what it should be. I would recommend the gazebo and suggest that you ensure the space (patio or deck) is sufficient for the most desirable placement of the gazebo. We had our patio sized based on where we wanted the gazebo and outdoor fireplace (also purchased from Wayfair).
The Gazebo is gorgeous! My husband had help putting some of it together, ( the roof) the other parts I helped a Small bit, but he did the rest. The directions were amazing, all the screws/bolts were easy to identify and separated accordingly. It took one day to assemble. The delivery was right on time, and they even called me to see where I wanted them to put it in my driveway. It seems very sturdy and we love it!!
It was CRAZY to put up (that might be because my husband is the only one with any handyman skills and I helped), but we had help putting up the frame, it took us 6 hours to do the roof. It’s beautiful! Not everything lined up perfectly, but it looks great and it’s VERY sturdy. We put it up yesterday and it’s beautiful!
