EROMMY 10' x 13' Gazebo Polycarbonate Double Roof Canopy Outdoor Aluminum Frame Pergola, Permanent Pavilion with Netting and Curtains for Garden Patio Lawns Parties

We were looking for a sturdy gazebo that is more "permanent" than a cloth or tent-like structure. We wanted both mosquito netting and curtains. We thought this one would be adequate. It arrived much earlier than Amazon predicted, which thrilled us. Upon opening the boxes, we were a little intimidated by the number of pieces. We located the directions to glance over the evening before we planned to put it together, to give us an idea of what we were facing with construction. The only reason I gave this only 4 stars for "easy to assemble" is because the instructions were only pictures. A little confusing at first. Once we realized how the instructions were directing us, we picked up steam in putting it together. The pieces were nicely packed and very well marked to coincide with the instructions. Even the screws were well packaged on cardboard and taped so they stayed in place until it was time to use them. The structure went together very quickly. The entire project took us about 5 hours. It was just the two of us working on it. There were a couple of times we could have used a third person, but we accomplished it ourselves. As it went together, we began to notice how well made the pieces were. One of the rails with a channel that the roof panels went in to was pinched a little on one end, but this was easily remedied with a pair of needle nosed pliers. One of the things that stood out to us as we worked is that where there were "seams", they included little "covers" so the finished product looks "finished". This gazebo is sturdy and very pretty. The mosquito netting and curtains are also VERY substantial. We couldn't be more thrilled with our choice and expect to enjoy this gazebo for many years to come.

I got this as a Mother’s Day gift, but wanted to use it all summer so that I could give an honest review. The assembly instructions were right on. It does take a a minimum of two people to assemble, 3 was much easier. The gazebo looks great. The top gives enough shade, but still gets light through it. It does lower the temperature. We used it rain and shine all summer and had no leaks. Now that fall is here we have put up two of the solid sides to block the wind and have found it to be a comfortable place to gather. After 5 months of use, it looks like new.

This was a project to install and took two days because we had a stripped screw and had to wait for a tool to fix it. The final stage had some parts that didn't meet correctly, and we had to force it a bit. We had a fierce storm come up out of nowhere, and it moved the gazebo a few inches, but it did not blow away, and we had some of our trees come down during the storm. The build is very sturdy, is it very functional and it looks great. We were able to match the color of the gazebo with our patio tables and chairs. We used it every day, and we are really enjoying. We will add more accessories as we go along. It feels like an additional room. We purchased the 10 x 13.

I normally wouldn't ding a product because it was damaged in transit but in this case the overwhelming majority of reviews said the product arrived damaged. The manufacturer should probably be doing something different in the way of packaging or shipping. The seller immediately sent new parts, so I'm happy with that. But I had damage consistent with other reviews - damaged rails that needed to be bent back into shape in order to slide in the roof panels, and the corners of the roof panels damaged in transit. So 4 stars. Overall this is well thought out and sturdy. It will take a minimum of 2 people to put together. Not because any part of it is really heavy, but because of the size. Instructions could have been a little more clear in some areas but overall weren't bad. It's time consuming to assemble but I wouldn't say difficult. I have it installed on a wooden deck and the feet secured with lag bolts. The corrugated, translucent panels let a decent amount of light through and still provide adequate shade. Despite not really having any seals or sealant between the roof panels, there are no leaks even during heavy rains because of the way the pieces fit together. I do see some moisture inside the panels but it does not make it inside the canopy and it dries out with the sun. And it survived the worst hail storm I've ever seen here in NJ. We'll see how it does with heavy snow. The curtains are nice to block cooler breezes or more sun if necessary. We really don't have much of an insect problem so while the screens are nice we don't really use them.

Took four days to assemble (wife & me). Directions little tricky, have to put attention and position instruction paperwork in the direction you are working. I attached mine to a concrete pad, it won't go anywhere. The only problem is the outside courting, they come with a clip to be attached to the columns so it doesn't move with the wind when is closed. Good luck on that, there is no way to keep it in place, metal clip to short and it comes out of columns hole. So when is really windy your courting are flying everywhere. Also have to be sure when installing the ceiling all parts locks together without bending the edges, (that's where you spend most of the assembly time). Beside all that, it's very sturdy and looks awesome. I suggest that if is not assembled on concrete and is wood floor (Deck), use 2" screws. I don't advice for ground floor with stakes only, (it will fly away). Hint: Make holes on the ground (at least 6" deep) by each pole. Put at least six nails 6" long inside the whole side way in the ground leaving at least 1" out of the nail head so the concrete attach to the nail when you pour concrete. This way concrete in anchored to ground and post are anchored to concrete. After everything is really dry, pull post out if you can. Let me know. Way to go.
