This is GORGEOUS! Now, it did take two full days of my husband and 4 of his coworkers to put it together, but this thing is exactly what we wanted! It’s super heavy duty, we plan to use concrete screws on the supplied holes around each pole. The pitched roof is high and adds so much depth to the gazebo, I love the hooks at the top (although having the option for just one hook centered might be nice) and the roof material matches our home so well. The screen was a pain to put up but just like the rest of the assembly once it was done it’s so worth it to have a screened in porch feeling! We are going to wait until winter to put the curtains around the outside to prevent bugs from making home in them while they are tied up all summer to help with the breeze but they are beautiful and straightforward to attach! Couldn’t love this more!

I feel funny posting pictures of a gazebo that we set up because theres still snow on the ground and no leaves on the trees here yet. This item came in 6 packages. All well packed, but 6 HEAVY packages. The directions say it takes 5 people to set up, well we only had 2. After 18 hours, some additional welding because some pieces (small clip like supports and top main beam) broke because they were only welded on 2 sides when it shouldve been all 4, it is up and very sturdy. The only draw backs if I had to come up with any are that this is so well made and sturdy, but the sliding clips for the hanging canvas are a cheap plastic so we will see how that holds up. 2- it is literally in a million pieces, its very overwhelming. 3- the directions for hanging the net and canvas are VERY vague. All in all we are happy with our purchase. I believe this will withstand snowy Maine winters.
