YITAHOME 10x12FT Hard-Top Gazebo Double Roof Canopy Outdoor with Netting and Shaded Curtains, Aluminum Frame Polycarbonate Hardtop Garden Tent for Patio, Backyard, Deck and Lawns, Gray

Got ours this week and my wife and I put it up in about 6 hours. Looks like she will get it in the divorce. Just kidding! It went well. Was impressed by the engineering, the fit and finish. And the overall sturdiness of the completed structure. The instructions were good but somewhat out of sequence as noted in other comments. I would advise completing each section of the roof, top to bottom. When placing the panels, secure them with something, otherwise they will fall out. We used painters tape, keeping it in place until the finish trim piece was ready to be installed. We also used the tape to distinguish the inside (or outside, just be consistent) of the roof panels, placing a small piece on as the film was removed.We had to go out of town about as soon as we completed this task so have no other experience including if it keeps the rain out. But we are happy with the purchase upon construction completion and feel it will add greatly to our outdoor living for years to come, spring, summer and fall.

This unit is not easy to install and needs several knowledgeable grown adults involved in the set up. We put ours in cement in the ground to secure it so it will be permanent. The curtains slide easily. And it looks gorgeous in our yard. It has not rained yet, so I don’t know how it will stand up to that, but the construction is very good.

We love this thing.... Directions and assembly are a PIA but.... It's awesome... This summer has been nothing but rain so far and it's nice to be able to still sit outside ... Also... Water and or lights look amazing through the roof of it.... If we close all the curtains on a cold night... The fire table warms it up... Even just closing 3 sides help capture some heat.... Off you're hesitant... Don't be... Worth every penny and a great price at that 👍......Fall update: still loving it!!

So far, we have really enjoyed our gazebo. We read lots of reviews to make sure the product was worth the money. It seems to be good quality but the assembly took WAY longer than expected. Some of the parts did not fit correctly and had to be cut to fit. If it weren’t for my father who is an expert carpenter we would have struggled big time. The instructions were easy to follow, however, some of the steps required leaving pieces that were not secured and they were falling off as we were working our way around the gazebo. We had to bypass some steps to secure the pieces because we didn’t want the shades to be destroyed as they fell. Some of the metal rods bent when they fell and we had to reshape. The curtains were the last thing to install and the pre-constructed parts didn’t leave room to attach them so we had to pry open the grooves to fit the curtain hooks which left the parts damaged. The curtains covered the damaged parts though. I’m sure we’ll have much more enjoyment now that’s it’s constructed but the process was not easy and required more skill and tools than represented. The UV panels were not as expected, but they work great. They seemed thin and more like cardboard when we pulled them out of the box, but they provide great shade. Sliding them in the grooves to fit perfectly was another challenge.

This company is wonderful to work with! FedEx made an absolute mess of the delivery of the gazebo, when they finally delivered the last box with the posts a week late, the box was all damaged and two of the posts were bent. I called the gazebo company and sent them pictures of the damage caused by FedEx and they immediately shipped out replacements the next day. This time FedEx delivered on time, only because I made reports of the problems with the original delivery. I highly recommend this gazebo, it is beautiful. My husband, who is very mechanical, and I put this up in one day, a very loooong day. Just take your time and study the instructions and you will do fine assembling it.

Many parts cut incorrectly and extra holes drilled in for no reason allowing rain to drop through the top. We could not even finish with the end caps at the poles because the manufacturers did not cut the slits deep enough. So it looks unfinished. Can’t believe I spent this much. Pay a couple hundred more and get the more well known brands.

Need shade for our deck so we purchased this one. It shipped in 3 boxes and all arrived undamaged. Installation was not horrible at all. There are a lot of pieces but it went together relatively easily. I do suggest that when installing the ceiling tiles, that as you insert one section, you put a bolt in one of the lower holes that will get bolted. This will help hold it in place until all are installed and you begin to install the blocks and bolts. Be patient, some of the pieces will fight you but you can maneuver them into place. Overall, I expected it to be worse than it was. Took two of us 7 hrs. from start to finish. We bolted ours to the decking and have not been through any weather with it. It is not as heavy as I expected it to be and do worry about high winds. We are happy with this purchase and would recommend it over any gazebo with corrugated plastic or polyboard roofing, this metal roof is far more sturdy and provides actual shade!
