domi outdoor living10’ X 12’ Hardtop Gazebo, Outdoor Aluminum Frame Canopy with Galvanized Steel Double Roof, Outdoor Permanent Metal Pavilion with Curtains and Netting for Patio, Backyard and Lawn

The cedar post 12x16 gazebo came in 6 heavy boxes. The total build time took 3 days. It was a long weekend of a lot of work between my husband and I. We had our 10 year old son help in a few sticky spots. It was exhausting and had us scratching our heads a time or two, but overall it was worth it. Everything arrived undamaged and was good quality. The finished product is better than we could have hoped. It’s been raining since we finished building it, but finally our patio furniture is staying dry and usable.We did a lot of research before ordering to get the best deal/quality/sized gazebo to be used permanently and I think we found it in this one!

I installed this pergola by myself and the only trouble I had was getting all the lower roof to align correctly. Make sure to not tighten the lower roof support brackets tight. I didn’t and still had a bit of difficulty with alignment of the roof panel holes. I’ll admit two people would have been ideal but you gotta go with what you’ve got.Over all it’s a very nice pergola that is sturdy and well manufactured. All parts were there with no damage and instructions were fairly clear. It’s a good product and I’d recommend getting it.

Came in earlier than promised, no damage or missing parts and looks Amazing for a 18 1/2 x 10 1/2 Gazebo. Problem is, it’s supposed to be a 12x20. I bought it to protect my Ford 150 Super Crew Cab from the elements. Not a DIY project, unless you’re retired and have friends. Still, very happy with it, but disappointed that it didn’t measure up for 5 Stars

FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. Read tru the directions throughly BEFORE assembly. Lay out all parts and check them off before starting.Only fully tighten the leg bases to the legs.As the directions say, DO NOT fully tighten any screw after that UNTIL it says. Any lower roof support or curtain bracket, do not tighten until the end.K and K1 can be aggravating with the Z strips for the roof bc they keep popping off. Loosen K1 almost completely and it'll give more room for the upper panels.With all that being said.....the packaging is spot on. Zero damaged parts in any way, zero missing parts. Labeled parts are good. Allen wrench is a pain, use a drill head attachment instead, trust me.This gazebo is amazing. It took 2 days. Most can be assembled by urself, but it's best to have to ppl. No leaks, appears high quality material, and customer service is good. Hopefully this lasts 10+ years. Would definitely buy again

For starters the build is somewhat difficult but I was able to completely constructed it by myself with the exception of 2 minutes of help holding up the third leg. As I was building on a slope so having three different sized ladders helped considerably. As others have noted it came very well packed. My 12x18 gazebo came in five roughly 90 lb boxes. Before starting build I recommend you do a check off on inventory on the part list on enclosed instructions. While you might not want to completely unwrap the longer braces and legs you will want to give them the feel test for hidden dents and dings. One of my main leg upright braces had a sizable ding and the leg nestled with it had a smaller one. Customer support wanted to send replacements out immediately but as I was well into build and had time constraints I decided to merely fix it and go with it and it works fine no leaks. I placed that brace on back side of gazebo. The instructions are picture graphs with numbered steps to be taken with virtually no fine detail put a very doable with a little bit of thought. Best to leave all bolts and nuts loose during construction with the exception of the legs and upright leg bracing bolting to the top plate which would be the only bolts you will not be able to reach after everything is finished. Unless of course you take a hacksaw to an Allen key and radius the edges of it and attempt to tighten through a very tight space with very limited turn. Ask me how I know that. I also recommend you tighten the steel roofing panels behind you as you go leaving the trailing edge loose until you reach a corner as they are hard to reach with a ladder afterwards. Every other nut and bolt is reachable and should be snug down only after construction. The kit includes a tube of what seems to be a high quality silicone which is a caulk - sealer not a adhesive. Use it. As you are assembling the steel roof panels I would get underneath and look for any hints of daylight in which case use the silicone there and possibly where they meet the top section cross members even if you cannot see daylight there. As I had to construct a deck platform for gazebo I recommend that you keep it to the exact size of the gazebo if possible as mine extends a few inches out on all four sides and has got a tendency to catch rain water and flow it into the gazebo floor . I intend to make an eighth of an inch caulk ridge on gazebo floor about 6 in from curtains on all four sides to act as a water dam. On my 18x12 gazebo the curtains are easy to set up as they are all zipped together there are four long pieces and two short pieces The short pieces attached to the center side legs. The main curtains go over the outside track mosquito netting on the inside trackUp a week or so rode through a week of monsoon like weather with flying colors. A 5***** Purchase.

We live in an area where we get 3 to 4 ft of snow on average come winter time.. if putting this gazebo up, be sure not to install the trim work that goes around the edges as the snow will just rip those off. Other than that, it's a great gazebo!

We purchased the summer and put up immediately. It was 2 days of the two of us basically doing nothing but assembling. Probably about 12 hours total because there were some slowdowns in putting together the roof etc. But we figured it out and took other people's advice from YouTube videos because the directions are not the greatest. Keep good track of your screws because we had just enough.Assembly aside, we have loved it. It is beautiful and seems to be well made. We love the mosquito net and the curtains. And we have several friends who have said that they want to get the same or something similar. We hope it lasts for a very long time.
