SUNJOY 12 x 16 ft. Wood Gazebo, Outdoor Patio Cedar Framed Steel Hardtop Gazebo with 2-Tier Metal Roof, Suitable for Patios, Lawn and Backyard, Dark Brown + Natural Wood

I ordered this gazebo and it came 10 days later. I ordered the 13x15 grey and black roof. it came in 5 boxes each about 100 pounds. the build quality is pretty good for the price and it is sturdy once assembled and especially with 3/8 x 3 inch sleeve anchors going into the concrete through the post brackets that i drilled and put in. Nothing came damaged except a couple roof sheets that the corners were a little bent but i used pliers to bend it straight. Assembly took about 2 days for me and another guy. You need 2 people minimum i cant see a single person building this. the instructions are pretty simple just follow carefully and make sure orientation is correct. The only complaint is the middle sections of the roof have nothing holding them down, only the top and bottom have screws. i went to Lowes and bought 24 stainless screws 1/4 inch by 2 inches long and locknuts and washers and drilled through the roof panels and the middle support brackets and it made the panels way more sturdy and they cant flap in the wind now. 6 screws on the long sides and 5 on the shorter sides, only where the sheets overlap. other than that it is a good buy for anyone that is considering it. i was gonna buy the 14x16 Purple Leaf but considering this was $1000 less when i bought it for a foot less on both sides it was a no brainer. Here are some pics done. I also added some gazebo lights they are 60ft total 16 lights spread apart 3Ft each in between and it goes around the gazebo perfectly. In the rain it is great if theres really heabvy rain only some drops from splashing get throught the top open part but nothing crazy.

Delivery within time promised. Enjoying finished product. Great quality.

Beautiful and sturdy! We love it! Would recommend to everyone!!

The quality is good for the price; roof material is not very thick; pretty sturdy. I’d give the gazebo 4.5 stars and Amazon 3 stars. Instructions were OK to follow; not great. I put together solo with the minor assistance from my son to hold up the wood border beams. Do yourself a favor and buy a hex set with T-handles; your hands will thank you. Received 4 out of 5 boxes. One of boxes was received empty by UPS. When I tried to get just that one box, they shipped me a whole new gazebo. Weird. Make sure to check for damage to boxes and contents before starting to build. One of the boxes containing the panels for the roof was in bad shape. Several were slightly bent but I was able to bend back into shape. When assembled, the seams of the panel seams toward the bottom did not nest tightly and there appeared to be gaps. I fixed this by buying a rivet gun and 1/4 inch black rivets and riveting the bottom portion of the seam. That made them leak proof and you can’t see the rivets. I should not have had to do that. Good luck!

Great product! You need at least two + persons to assemble, pretty tricky when trying to attach long rails to posts by yourself. After that, assembly is very easy and straight forward, after my buddies helped me attach the long rails, it may have taken me an extra 2 hours to fully assemble. I did go ahead and skip some steps and assemble the very top part of he roof first, easier to assemble that way. Make sure all products are not damaged when delivered, I had to request three more posts, because of damage (no biggie, it happens).Overall, very satisfied with the finished product, transforms our backyard to newer heights!Can’t wait to string lights around it and enjoy the summer.

U need half inch metal screws where the roof plate connect to each other. Because when is windy the plate make sound. And be ready to spend a whole day (10 hours 3 people)

I checked out the reviews before buying this gazebo. I will say I had no negative experiences and can only say great things. The product was delivered in two boxes that contained all of the parts which were well labeled. The hardware was contained in individual trays for each part - not just a big bag of stuff.I was able to assemble this with the help of one other person. I’m a 61 yo man and my helper was a friend of my wife who is 30. We needed two others to help when it was time to stand it up. But once we got a bolt thru the beam and into the column we were fine with them.I decided to put the bases in a pot (look at the pics) to add some color. We anchored three bolts into the bottom of the pot and then put one long anchor into the choice below.We had to use two days to assemble it as we got rained out the first day. Total time spent was 7 hours. A few helpful suggestions:1. Layout the baseplates first to determine where you will be anchoring them (if going into a deck). I had to drill a hole thru the baseplate on two of them to line up with a joist.2. Do t overtighten the bolts in the frame until you have it squared up. To determine if it is square you need to measure diagonally across the inside and they must be equal dimensions.3. I left one anchor (the one going to a joist) out until o had the steel framework above roughed in (the major members running to the center). Then I sank that last anchor.4. When installing the roof panels, do not tighten down all the way ( the holes are slotted). Allow yourself the ability to slide things left or right until you have all the rough panels on. Then crank away.

Instructions were horrible, other then that the quality of the unit was impressive..
