YOLENY 12'x20' Hardtop Gazebo with Galvanized Steel Double Roof, Pergolas Aluminum Frame, Netting and Curtains Included, Metal Outdoor Gazebos for Garden, Patios, Lawns, Parties

absolutely love the unit. Looks great. Not to difficult to put together - it took two of us about 15 hours total. Hardest part was installing the roof slats. After numerous tries we ended getting aluminum squares and inserting them into the slot before putting the slat in. This helped to guide them in place. Everything else went pretty smooth. Negatives to be aware of: We checked the boxes for to make sure all parts were shipped and received as mentioned by other reviewers. So glad we did. We were missing one roof support beam and had to ask the seller for it. Asking the seller was a trip…. We provided pictures the number of the item and several messages went back and forth because they had no idea what it was. Couldn’t understand why they would not grab the manual to see the exact piece. Once that was figured out they kept claiming it would ship but never did. I finally had to request a return for missing parts - while refusing to pay shipping back due to the defect. Only then did I get a tracking number - a fake tracking number. I had to inquire again about a shipping label before they gave me a real tracking number that actually showed the part shipped. It was definitely harder than it should have been to get the part but glad they finally followed through.

I'm very happy with my new gazebo for the price it's great and it doesn't leak when it rains. I paid $600 to have it installed so for $1600 it was definitely worth it.

We finally found time to set up this pergola a month later, purchased the end of May. We have yet to truly use and enjoy it due to our extreme heat wave (101-113 in Spokane, WA) but we are very happy with the final product now that it is built. Be sure to allow yourself time, definitely examine the instructions, and lay out the parts, and check each page before assembling.....follow the best you can and review if unclear. You have read in previous posts and I will concur, you have a diagram page to follow, NOT WELL WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS. First, we laid all the pieces and parts out in alphabetical order keeping in mind, right and left sides. We had one manufacturing issue. Two 6mm nuts were missing from the end of one of the four main roof support beams, the other three were fine. Hubby was able to fix the issue without us having to call customer support. **Be watchful after placement and securing of the top, external brackets that need to be placed before moving forward with panels (see marked yellow picture). We unfortunately missed this step and didn't realize until we thought we were done. I said leave it but my over achiever brother had a challenge and would not be defeated. He has long skinny monkey arms that fit through the opening between the top and panels. He unscrewed and added each of the brackets. It does finish off the ends nicely and secures the panels and brackets tightly (no one would have known otherwise). Note: Using power with a 5-metrix hex (standard Allen Wrench) chucked up works very well!!! Also, keep the panels in a cool place until you are ready to remove the films (too hot, the film melted and was very difficult to remove). Once cooled, I removed the inside panel film and left the reflective sun side on for directional placement to help speed up the install process. I was fortunate to have my brother on hand, who has put together several of these DIY pergola projects. DO NOT have too many foremen on the job site (how our error occurred) and be sure to have plenty of food and water then finished beverages on hand! We purchased the 12'x16' pergola and are happy with the size, fits our deck well, and is definitely sturdy. I am not generally fond of curtains and not sure about these (personal preference). They are quite heavy and thick; perhaps nice during inclement weather but I prefer open sides, I am debating on the mesh drape still. We are happy with our purchase, glad it is assembled, aesthetically pleasing (quite beautiful) and ready to enjoy with family and friends.

This gazebo has been amazing! We have had it 5 years now and I just want to say that it has withstood 60-70 mph wind gusts on more than one occasion! We have it secured to our patio but it still has not come apart!!! Would HIGHLY recommend. Only downfall was the squirrels ate the screen material!!

ROOF LEAKS! I was hesitant about leaving a poor review because it has nothing to do with the seller and is more for the manufacturer. The roof panels are assembled by sliding each panel into a tracking system, they fit somewhat snug but not tight enough to consider it "sealed". When water lands on the roof it trickles down into the track slots inbetween the track and panel causing the roof to leak. I actually took my entire tent back down and started over thinking maybe I did something wrong. No, that wasnt the case! It still leaks!. The only way to avoid water from getting into the tracks is to seal in between each track slot and the panel. This should be disclosed as part of setup, and sealant should be included. I'm now going to have to take apart the roof once again so i can caulk or seal each panel in place to ensure there is no gaps for water to enter. Thats after I find what sealant is compatible for the panels. Wish I would've known this before! My poker table, TV and all my cloth foldable chairs got soaked. I learned the hard way. In light rain it did ok, i didnt notice it leaking but heavy rain was a whole different ball game!!
