domi outdoor living12’x20’ Hardtop Gazebo, Wooden Coated Aluminum Frame Canopy with Galvanized Steel Double Roof, Outdoor Permanent Metal Pavilion with Curtains and Netting for Patio, Deck and Lawn

For starters the build is somewhat difficult but I was able to completely constructed it by myself with the exception of 2 minutes of help holding up the third leg. As I was building on a slope so having three different sized ladders helped considerably. As others have noted it came very well packed. My 12x18 gazebo came in five roughly 90 lb boxes. Before starting build I recommend you do a check off on inventory on the part list on enclosed instructions. While you might not want to completely unwrap the longer braces and legs you will want to give them the feel test for hidden dents and dings. One of my main leg upright braces had a sizable ding and the leg nestled with it had a smaller one. Customer support wanted to send replacements out immediately but as I was well into build and had time constraints I decided to merely fix it and go with it and it works fine no leaks. I placed that brace on back side of gazebo. The instructions are picture graphs with numbered steps to be taken with virtually no fine detail put a very doable with a little bit of thought. Best to leave all bolts and nuts loose during construction with the exception of the legs and upright leg bracing bolting to the top plate which would be the only bolts you will not be able to reach after everything is finished. Unless of course you take a hacksaw to an Allen key and radius the edges of it and attempt to tighten through a very tight space with very limited turn. Ask me how I know that. I also recommend you tighten the steel roofing panels behind you as you go leaving the trailing edge loose until you reach a corner as they are hard to reach with a ladder afterwards. Every other nut and bolt is reachable and should be snug down only after construction. The kit includes a tube of what seems to be a high quality silicone which is a caulk - sealer not a adhesive. Use it. As you are assembling the steel roof panels I would get underneath and look for any hints of daylight in which case use the silicone there and possibly where they meet the top section cross members even if you cannot see daylight there. As I had to construct a deck platform for gazebo I recommend that you keep it to the exact size of the gazebo if possible as mine extends a few inches out on all four sides and has got a tendency to catch rain water and flow it into the gazebo floor . I intend to make an eighth of an inch caulk ridge on gazebo floor about 6 in from curtains on all four sides to act as a water dam. On my 18x12 gazebo the curtains are easy to set up as they are all zipped together there are four long pieces and two short pieces The short pieces attached to the center side legs. The main curtains go over the outside track mosquito netting on the inside trackUp a week or so rode through a week of monsoon like weather with flying colors. A 5***** Purchase.

We purchased the summer and put up immediately. It was 2 days of the two of us basically doing nothing but assembling. Probably about 12 hours total because there were some slowdowns in putting together the roof etc. But we figured it out and took other people's advice from YouTube videos because the directions are not the greatest. Keep good track of your screws because we had just enough.Assembly aside, we have loved it. It is beautiful and seems to be well made. We love the mosquito net and the curtains. And we have several friends who have said that they want to get the same or something similar. We hope it lasts for a very long time.

I have had this gazebo for a month and a half. First I must say…it is beautiful. Since putting it together I have been using it just about every day. We have had plenty of rain and some pretty strong winds but it has had no issues. Now here are my issues. First the instructions are not as good as they can or should be. They are way to confusing. I could see anyone who is not use to assembling anything having a heck of a time. Fortunately I am not that person. Secondly attaching the metal roof is harder then it should be. Especially the plastic pieces that come with it.Secondly, I am disappointed that you are unable to purchase a set of curtains separately in case you may need them down the line. Don’t get me wrong but they are not made to last forever with any gazebo so I’d like to have them on hand since the way they are attached would make it harder to purchase elsewhere. Believe me I contacted the company and was told that they don’t sell them separately.Bottom line I love the gazebo. My friends and family love the look (so do I) and I love the sturdiness as well. Still these things should be taken into consideration before buying. If those things don’t bother you, you won’t be disappointed.

Great Product! It has held up well and we live were winds get very strong very often. I purchased this brand because of having largest support posts. I was amazed at the quality of all of it. It's well-engineered. Gutter design works great. Canvas sides and screens are sturdy and nice to look at. Packaged extremely well, all items were protected.The instructions could be clearer. Be sure you understand them before you start.Plastic clips on the roof are a bit confusing. Attached pic clarifies it.The only items not labeled in my set, roof bars N and N1 are only slightly different (# of holes) but make a huge difference later in assembly if placed incorrectly. If not labelled, read ahead to see which needs extra holes. Don't be stingy with the sealer provided for use in the gutters. I put mine up with only a little help but suggest a second person be on hand for the whole process.

It’s sturdy, nicely painted and engineered!

They said you could build this in a weekend . Sure , if you have at least 4 or more people . But , it went together very well and is very sturdy . We use it for just leisure and shade . It’s a great gazebo !

Once completed, this is a nice unit, however as an experienced builder, this took 2 full days to complete with help for the two-person parts getting the roof installed. One thing I found very helpful was to unpack all the hardware as there are hundreds of pieces and organize them into bins. I used a couple Dewalt trays I had and labelled each bin with tape; the hardware is attached well to the cards and you don’t want to be fiddling getting these off when you are assembling - just be sure to label them correctly. Watch a couple of YouTube videos on the build process, most of them are terrible or miss key details, however, watching more than one gives you a visual of the thing going together so the instructions make more sense. And finally, the instructions label all the hardware backwards for Western users (the screws are 1#, instead of #1, which I found distracting.

This Gazebo is great! I love that the both the curtains and screen are very well made, it is sturdy and well made. Took a couple days to complete with my husband and myself. Instructions are a little misleading as you have to put screws in and then take them out again later on and the screw heads seemed a little small for the bit so screws became stripped and a pain to take back out again, but the overall the look and quality is fantastic, we will now see how it will hold up over the winter.

We bought the 12’x20’ to replace a pergola and canopy area. Had delivered to a town outside a major city. Five boxes came 15 mins apart on two separate trucks. They placed them in the garage for us. The instructions and hardware were in box #2. Nothing was missing. Each piece is separately wrapped and taped so plan some time for opening it all up and doing inventory. The posts, frame, and cap went up quick and easy but we did need a third person to hold it at its height until joined and standing. I got some small sheet metal cuts. Recommend two ladders and a step stool, possibly soft gloves. Use a power drill. The plastic clips on each roof panel fall off easy and caused some frustration but once in place they do hold. With removal of previous structures and furniture, opening boxes, and construction it took us three weekend days total to have the curtains on n furniture back under it and fully set up (sat, sun, sat) but we also get up with coffee, walk the dogs, eat, and enjoy our mornings before getting to it. Instructions are given with pictures and easy to follow. Plan for quick/easy meals and don’t pick a rainy day like we did. We didn’t end up using the silicon at all and they give you an extra one of each type of bolt.

I am really impressed by the excellent customer experience received from Domi. The shipment was received earlier than scheduled, with a few missing parts. The Domi team handled it in a professional, responsive way, had received all at once soon.Like its quality and design, looks nice!

not as strong as i thought it should be..
