Hardtop Gazebo 10x12FT

We bought this gazabo to set it up on our deck, and it Looks great there. We are using it every day.We received four boxes with all the hardware and the instruction book. The instructions were easy to follow because they were step-by-step diagrams with some close-ups to make it easy to put together in 10 hours.One of the features of this product that we love is that it has two different curtains. First is the screen mesh to keep the bugs, and the second blackout curtain is great for privacy or to keep the sun out of the pavilion. The factory paid attention to the details because each curtain can be used individually or zipped together, and all the pieces align perfectly. It is a 2–3-person job, with two ladders to facilitate reaching the top at any time, especially when installing the roof panels.The roof panels are the most difficult part because they are flexible, making it a challenge to fit into the side slots of the roof frames, and we learn from other users that the best way to install the panels is to lose all the roof screws. That helps to accommodate all the roof panels better. Also, we started from each side's center and moved to the sides. These actions make the installation easy. We recommend using a drill with torque control that makes this installation faster. There are many pieces, but follow the directions, and you should be fine.We recommend this gazebo that looks great, is easy to assemble, sturdy and well-engineered.

Nice gazebo but came with many missing parts and had to go purchase additional screws to finish

Several pieces did not fit well and adjustments were needed to fit properly.Not waterproof at all unless you buy and do the extra work to seal product.

After having a similar gazebo break in our strong South Dakota winds after 2 short years, we decided we'd take a chance on this unit. I enlisted the help of my neighbor and a couple teenage boys, and we got it assembled in a few hours (over a couple days). There are a TON of screws, but that made me think it's gonna be sturdy...and I was correct. We anchored it to our concrete patio and it seemed to be significantly more rigid that the one it replaced. I hung the curtains incorrectly 3 separate times, but finally got it figured out. Now we use it for shade on summer days, a respite from the bugs on summer nights (the hooks work great to hang some battery-powered lanterns), and a rain shelter throughout the year. We take the curtains and screens down in the winter, but it's held up through all the snow we get without any issues. I recently lost one of the zipper pulls, and the seller has been awesome to work with. We also purchased the 3-year extended warranty, so if anything does happen, we're ready to replace it with the same unit. However, we don't anticipate that happening, as this thing doesn't seem to move.If you're in the market for a gazebo, skip the $300 discount-store version and get this one. You won't regret it.

Took 3 men (engineer, lineman, and piddler) around 10 hours total to assemble. Definitely need two ladders and a battery drill for all the screws. On one of the corner posts, a factory rivet holding another piece in missed it's mark. Had to drill out the rivet and do a work around. Installed on a wood deck. Once assembled it looks great and is very sturdy. It does leak some in the center when it rains. Can't tell where in the roof the leak is coming from but will try spaying some clear Flex Seal in the area. Doubt that will eliminate the leaks though.

Beautiful gazebo. We needed a handyman to put it up because the parts were too heavy for us grey heads to handle. We were one screw short.

UPDATE: We just went through Hurricane Hellen and expected the new pergola to be gone when we went outside for the first time after the storm. But... It survived the storm! We had 100mph plus winds, and all it did was bend a support brace. To make it even better, when I contacted the seller (DAYE), they sent me brand-new bracing for no cost. I highly recommend buying this one if you are looking for a pergola!!Fast shipping. I got it in 3 days. Read the instructions! Take everything out and organize first. It took me 10 1/2 hours to complete, but half of that was by myself. If you have 2 people the whole time, the process will go a lot faster. Be prepared for bent pieces. All my big pieces of roof sheets were bent pretty bad on the end. They should pack those a different way. Overall, I would buy again, but not in the dead of summer!!
