Aoxun 12'x10' Hardtop Gazebo, Aluminum Frame Permanent Pavilion with Curtains and Netting, Outdoor Polycarbonate Double Roof Canopy, Designed for Garden, Lawns, Patio, BrownRecycled Claim Standard Blended

Why did you pick this product vs others?:We were replacing our previous gazebo that had been destroyed during a bad storm and I wasn't looking to spend a lot of money, this was perfect. My boyfriend put most of it together himself on a Saturday, I helped him finish it the next day, we put the roof on together since that took a little more than just his 2 hands. If you're not a DIY'er then this might be a little challenging for you, but it IS actually very easy to assemble if you follow the directions completely. What the directions don't mention though is, that for the roof, you will need a rubber mallet to gently pound the roof shingles all the way into the slots. If you don't, they will hang out too far and the screws for the trim will not go in. Our gazebo went up beautifully and we are enjoying it daily, I'm so glad we decided to get this one! Oh and it does come in 2 separate boxes, which were delivered on different days, but both came in without any issues.

Compré el gazebo Aoxun de 12x16 pies para mi patio trasero y estoy más que satisfecha con la compra. La estructura de aluminio es muy resistente, se siente sólida incluso con viento fuerte. El techo de policarbonato de doble capa no solo protege muy bien del sol, sino que también deja pasar la luz de forma suave, creando un ambiente muy agradable debajo.El montaje tomó algo de tiempo (unas 4-6 horas entre tres personas), pero todas las piezas venían bien marcadas y las instrucciones eran claras. Una vez armado, el gazebo se ve elegante y moderno. Las cortinas incluidas son un excelente detalle, ya que ofrecen privacidad y ayudan a bloquear el viento cuando lo necesitamos.Lo uso para reuniones familiares, cenas al aire libre y como zona de descanso en verano. Es lo suficientemente grande para una mesa grande con varias sillas, o incluso un juego de muebles de exterior. En resumen, una excelente inversión para cualquier espacio al aire libre. Lo recomiendo totalmente.

Overall, we are very happy with this gazebo. It is a budget gazebo (I don't mean that as an insult, it just is.). It's made of aluminum and the parts are easily bent if not careful, but once assembled it's very sturdy and good looking too.It assembled easily enough (I built it alone but really could have used another person for some of it, so if you are not handy and creative in finding solutions, it will be a challenge). It comes with a nicely done 31 page step-by-step assembly book, all of it is visual with little text, very good in 90% of it. Also, I did find a fairly helpful video that someone posted on YouTube.We live near the ocean and get a strong breeze almost nightly, the gazebo handles it very well. But, it must be secured to the ground.Two minor complaints:1) The plastic curtain rings are flimsy and I don't think they will hold up for long.2) The stakes that are used to secure it to the ground are way to short to be of any use unless you have hard clay soil.Do as the instructions suggest and start with a parts inventory. This is one of those projects where if you get halfway through and are missing something, you'll have to stop to order the part, and because it ships from overseas you'll have to wait 2-3 weeks for that part. By the way, their customer service is outstanding! They respond quickly and are very helpful.For the manufacturer: Step 23 (the ridge cap) should moved to before Step 21 OR the part should be redesigned to better align with the holes. The way it is now, you have to reach over already installed roof panels and it was a dog to do. Even with 2 people it would be hard to do.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Hubby and I completed the build in a bit over 8 hours. Parts were well labeled. We were missing screws for the most critical components. Luckily our local hardware so sells the size. Emailed seller & they wanted to refund us $10. I want the screws I'm supposed to have since they're powder coated in color to match the rest of the hardware. The seller, finally, agreed to ship them....from China, of course. So, we'll see in a few weeks if our screws come in.Overall, while the screw part was disappointing, it was an easy fix, thankfully. And the gazebo is beautiful! I was worried about it being hot inside it since the top is a tinted polycarbonate panels. But to my surprise, while it does allow diffused light thru, it also keeps it noticeably cooler than surrounding areas. Pretty impressive!We're still pleased with the design, the curtains, the ease of construction, etc. So, I'd recommend, overall.

I couldn’t say enough nice things about this gazebo!! I really wasn’t sure what I was going to get as it came online and I couldn’t see it before purchase, but I’m so happy that I went this route. Set up was extremely easy putting it together was like following a Lego instruction kit. We set up the gazebo yesterday and had a huge rain storm overnight in the gazebo kept my furniture dry other than what was blowing sideways. I have already gotten so many compliments and it hasn’t even been up for 24 hours!

Was very pleased with how this came together. It definitely took multiple building sessions with some steps absolutely requiring three people, probably in the neighborhood of a 10 hour build for the 20’x12’ version. Zero missing parts. We did have problems with some of the parts being slightly warped, but most were able to be bent back into line with a pair of pliers. The one piece that was bent to the point of cracking, I was able to contact customer service and they responded quite quickly over a weekend with an offer to order a replacement part (from overseas). We haven’t experienced any leakage, but the drainage is a bit… annoying. We’re trying to figure out now if we can do some sort of gutter system attached to it to move the drainage to certain areas. Overall, my wife is extremely pleased with it, and is looking forward to spending summer outside under it.
