Customer Review
Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2024
It took 3 of us approximately 6 hours to put together. Most of it could've been done with 2 people. It wouldn't have taken us that long, but we got stuck on a single screw that we had a difficult time with. We built the deck 1 evening and built the gazebo on it the next day.
As long as you follow the instruction manual closely and don't skip any steps, you'll be fine. As in other reviews, we laid all the parts out alphabetically in order. All parts were packaged in groups that were labeled and each part inside was labeled. There was no confusion on parts and there were no missing parts.
We took out all screws and placed each kind in a separate plastic cup that we labeled. That made it much easier to get the correct type of screw when needed.
We also watched a YouTube video of a couple that built this exact gazebo. This was the biggest advantage to correlate to the instruction manual. We had a good system that 1 of us read the directions / watched the YouTube video and unwrapped the parts needed for the next step. This allowed the other 2 people to continue working on construction.
We used Command Hook light clips to attach the string lights to the D and E bars just above the curtain rack. We used a 48' strand of Edison bulb string lights that overlapped by about 2 feet.
Keep in mind, that it allows light to come through like tinted plastic and is not a solid steel roof. So it does get warm on sunny days. However, we had a recent rain storm. We closed the curtains and everything inside remained dry.
We love ours! It's a lot of work but so rewarding and well worth it.
