Outsunny 11' x 13' Hardtop Gazebo with Galvanized Steel Roof, Wooden Frame, Permanent Pavilion Outdoor Gazebo with Ceiling Hook for Garden, Patio, Backyard, Lawn

Spent by a lot of time researching patio covers that would be sturdy and hold up to PNW weather. This one was the one we settled on due to the specs, materials and weight. There were no reviews so had to take a chance. Luckily for us, happy with the purchase.Putting together: We paid the $250 to have Amazon home services put together. Seriously just do this and save your relationship. There were two gentlemen who worked from 8am to 3pm all day to complete it. They did great work and let me know if any issues they encountered.Shipping: This was the only confusing part because the Amazon tracking only had 1 box with tracking details. There were 4 boxes total and very heavy large boxes. They arrived with a couple days of placing the order ( much faster than expected)Vendor: I contacted the vendor directly to their customer service phone number to receive the other tracking numbers and to discuss a piece that broke during build. They were very friendly, helpful and made things right.Overall: we’ve had the patio stand a month now, it’s held up through wind and weather. During rainy days, some droplets get through the top center bar but nothing too bad for us. Very happy with the price and the product.

So proud of this purchase. It is beautiful, sturdy, and fairy simple to put together. It took a long afternoon to put it up.

Ok, I'm going to give you my thoughts and experience on the assembly of this gazebo.1: If you have no or very little mechanical skills,2: If you have few or no tools,3: If it just scares you too much, find someone to assemble it for you. It's not the easiest thing in the world to do, but if you have some common sense, some decent hand tools (especially power tools) and time you might actually enjoy assembling it. Be fore warned, you WILL need help. One person cannot do it by themselves. Help isn't needed all the time, but some assembly will require more than 1 person.Okay, here we go. Your gazebo will arrive in 4 very large boxes via FedEx. Give them a bottle of water and hearty "Thank you" when they arrive. The boxes are big and heavy. Unpack all 4 boxes and lay out the parts. Everything is well marked and labeled. You will need:1: A table of some sorts to put the various nuts and bolts and small assemblies on,2: A couple of saw horses,3: Socket wrenches and screwdrivers (If you don't have power tools, GO BUY SOME! Bare minimum get an impact screwdriver. You'll thank me later.)4: A freestanding ladder5: Time (Don't we all).Lay out your nuts and bolts packages on a your table and open from the top side with a razor blade. You will need to see the letters on the packages. If you open from behind you will lose a bunch from flipping it over several times. Find your instruction manual. Groan out loud when you realize there are no written instructions, just pictures. Then start. If you are going to stain it, now is the time to do it. Don't wait until it's put together. The parts and lumber is very well labeled and fits together easily. When screwing lumber together, all pieces are either predrilled or marked with a small dot to show where to place the screws. This is very helpful. Also, do not tighten everything down until you have each assembly together. I had to remove and redo several pieces because I didn't understand the instructions or missed a step or something. It happens. Most of the sub-assemblies can be done by yourself but you WILL need help when putting up the 4 post. 2 people might be able but 4 will be better. Make sure you assemble it where you want to leave it. You can make minor adjustments to it, but it ain't going far. Make sure your ground is level and setup properly before starting. Now, go have some fun and enjoy.

I received this in 5 boxes. It is ideal to have more than one person to put together yet, I was able to do it myself with a little ingenuity ;) My husband helped with the top brackets and roof. I did have a couple dings and gouges on two of the beams but I contribute that to the delivery company….delivery guy weighed less than myself and was not very careful with unloading or carrying of the boxes. I reached out to the company and their customer service is quick and efficient. I would not hesitate to buy another product from this company.

Took us about a whole entire day start to finish started with two people and then had a third to help hold beans once we got the rhythm. It was fine hardest part we thought was putting the top roof tins on but looks adorable. Just what I wanted, we purchased a small fan to hang in the center.

Took my wife and I three days to put it together. Was a good amount of work. You need to be somewhat handy to put it together. Some of the wood pieces had apparently shrunken when the wood dried out, but for the most part pieces fit together well enough. Provides the needed shade. We’re happy with our purchase and would recommend it to others.

Takes at least 3 people to assemble. The posts are not solid, instead hollow shells. Mine have already split. Directions are not well written, some guessing is required (which lead to having to disassemble and reassemble certain parts)Looks pretty nice though. Customer support is solid - I had an issue with the hardware and was quickly sent the replacement.
