We received the Gazebo as schedu, actually one day early. My husband and I assemb it in about 3/4 hours. We noticed that one of the upright posts was dented a bit when we took it out of the box. My husband was able to correct this himself. We made a mistake during installation that took extra time to correct. We instal 2 of the side beams upside down and didnt realize it until we were screwing down the top beams. The photo/only instructions are nice but lack a few details so be mindful. We love that drainage grommets were added by the manufacturer to prevent rain water from pooling on the awning. This seems to be a change in design based on previous reviews that weve read. We had to raise the structure about 4/5 inches on concrete blocks and secure one side awning flap up so that it would clear the back door on our house. My husband also attached tie down ropes (not included) using parachute cord and secured the structure to our existing deck. We chose not to add the screen and privacy that come with this particular product but like that its an option. Well store those for future use if necessary. We live in south central Pennsylvania and can get some strong 40+ mph wind gusts with summer storms, so well see how the structure holds up. We also like to keep the structure in place from April thru October, so hopefully the awning cover doesnt weather poorly. So far, so good!
Assemb the Gazebo in about 3 hours by myself. The screw nuts were all imbedded in the frame and the screws themselves had handles requiring no tools to tighten. Hardest part was getting all the pieces in order. Gazebo positioned on a gravel sand base, so I tied down with corkscrew anchors purchased separately. The anchors included would not hold it down in a high wind. The cloth roof seems a little light, so it will take some time to see how that holds up.
I love it but I was sent the wrong size bar and I cant connect it to the frame. I of course tossed all the packaging as soon as I got them because it was trash day. I dont know how to contact the vendor. It was a pain to get it together and I wouldnt know how to easily take it down for a storm or winter weather.

Great purchase
Easy to put together, but you will need a few people for assembly. Love that it gives you both panels for screen and/or a privacy curtain.
Not as strong as they said
Not as described
Great for the price
Just know its time consuming! It took 5 people and around 4 hours. Instructions arent great either! Otherwise its fantastic!
Damaged product
Alot of the bars and part were damaged and bent.
We love it so far!

Easy assembly.
Easy to assemble and has withstood our 50 mph wind gusts so far and we have not screwed it to the deck yet!
Good

To assemble directions could be better
Assembly directions could be clearer. Has held up to the storms and winds well
Basic
With 200lbs of weight on bottom in 35 mph to 40mph the frame bent and bars tore. I only had it up 2 weeks. I tied top to make it stronger
