We purchased and built this gazebo last summer and couldn't be happier. All the pieces arrived as scheduled and undamaged. I built the gazebo primarily by myself and only needed a couple extra hands when putting up the 2 roof sections. It held the heavy snow load over the winter and the gazebo looks as good as it did a year ago when I put it up. I would highly recommend this product and we couldn't be happier with our purchase.

The Gazabo is an ideal addition to our new backyard. It fits nicely and is both funtional and offers a classic setting. Set up was through step-by-step exercise. Placing roof on was a surprisingly easy exercise. Despite our windly weather the shelter has been sound. Wonderful addition to any patio.

This gazebo is very sturdy HOWEVER it will definatley take more than 2 people to construct. The roof panels are very heavy to raise above your head. The bolts are very difficult to thread and get lined up. We ended up switching to carriage bolts and painting them black. Wish we would have done that from the beginning. It would have saved a lot of time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a beautiful gazebo and looks great out on the concrete pad we had poured. Well built structure and we had this assembled by the contractor who poured the pad. Although it came with an electric hookup I wired the gazebo and included additional plug receptacles and USB ports for outside use. The kit does come with a link for building the structure and a nice instruction manual and 800 number for any questions. We are very pleased with this structure and it was worth the cost and fits our needs. It is solid, has protection on the footings but you will have to purchase anchors for the feet of you plan to secure it to a concrete pad, which isn’t a big deal. Some helpful tips - the roof section or ladder piece will require two people to push it up into place and one man up on a ladder to secure it into position. The metal roof pieces come with a plastic protective film, so keep this box cool and out if the sun so that the plastic doesn’t bake onto the metal surface. Electric - the electric is basically a plug & use system. In other words, if you do not have an outlet nearby you will need to run an extension cord to the gazebo and plug it in to the wiring that is provided with the kit. I opted to run electric underground through half inch conduit to power the lights and receptacles that I installed. The lower portion of the support columns on the gazebo are hollow. This will allow you to run the conduit up into the leg and conceal it completely. You will have to drill an access hole for a receptacle. The columns are at least 2 inches thick and there is a built-in solid portion at the top for the structural integrity of the gazebo. This is a beautiful gazebo, structurally sound and you won’t be disappointed by purchasing it!

Took longer to put together than the directions said but was still not bad. Was able to put a lot of sections together by myself and then got help to attach it all together. Was actually pretty easy. Hardest part was making sure the roof sections were square. It is up and beautiful. The wife is really happy and we will get many years of family use of the gazebo. Neighbors all love it and think it is awesome

Purchased it to help protect our hottub. Kit wen together well and each piece seemed to make it a litte more solid. Wish some of the pieces were single (instead of double), but understandable beacuse of shipping. Overall a good deal. Only drawback is that the power cord is way to short (it's only a couple feet long), so to use it you have an extention cord running up the side of the gazebo leg.

the phone so for the assembly makes this positive review. No chinese instruction manual to decipher. Using the enclosed instructions is doable. but not nearly as quick. The only issue with the AP is that it really sucks the battery down. The only thing I would change about the structure is the Two Post Anchor plates and two apparently cosmetic flat plates. The cost to make them all anchor plates would have been negligible, and the whole structured depends on these not failing in a high wind. They expect you to mount this on concrete apparently. Really? Does anyone? Ours is on the end of a pier on our lake, so I would have preferred more split anchor options for wood.

We were going to roof over our Backyard Deck when we found this perfect Gazebo Addition. It's cost was a third of constructing a Roof and it looks beautiful. The electrical plug feature makes outdoor charging of phones and iPads cool. It took a couple of days to put together. We anchored it to the deck and it sustained through a wind storm with ease.

On the out side of the box, it indicated the measurement is10x12. I had Contrators lay a 10x12 concrete foundation. It took 2 service guys and 6 hours to put the gazebo together. Finally , after all said and done. It measured 8x10. It’s smaller than the concrete. But! It looks very nice in my backyard.

I bought my gazebo almost a year ago. As a family we never went in the backyard, since we've purchased the gazebo the whole hangs out under the shade. From bbq,to listening to music, to my daughter doing her homework. The already installed electric power source comes in handy I've added lights to the gazebo and I am getting ready to install a TV for more backdoor fun. I recommend the gazebo and give it 5 stars.
