LEMY Gazebo Tent, Outdoor Canopy Shelter with Removable Sidewalls and Windows, Waterproof Heavy Duty Canopy for Patio, Garden, Party Wedding, 10' x 20', White

Muy bueno

It's an okay canopy, maybe not for the price it is but it's okay. The only problem is the only pieces that snap together are the plastic corners to the poles, the poles that connect together however don't snap together so even if you weigh it down or stake it to the ground the canopy can catch some wind and pick the whole top off of the bottom poles still stuck to the ground. Also if it's not weighted down and just staked down the bottom poles don't connect to the foot that stakes to the ground and will come out of that too in any wind. We also got a mosquito net and added two of the sides walls when in use and that weight seemed to help keep the whole thing on the ground a little more than if it was just the canopy top. That thing catches wind like crazy, just a light breeze and it's trying to fly away. The cord that came with it to stake each top corner to the ground also snapped the minute I tried to stake it down and I had to go buy cord at Walmart to use. There's also just not enough stakes that came with it, technically they have one for each foot and one for each cord but it wasn't enough, I bought 6 stakes specifically for the string and used the stakes that were supposed to be for the cord to double up on the feet of the canopy. There's 4 holes for stakes in the feet so you would probably have to buy more stakes for those too as it only comes with one each.

I read the reviews so I was scared because I bought this for outdoor wedding. Three people put it together the morning of no issue and then they kept it up even through torrential storms at night so I guess it might just depend on the storm or how you put it off .I did buy white duct tape just in case some of the issues, others sad, but they didn’t have to end up using it. Everyone loved it. They said it was a beautiful tent.

I saw the picture of this, what I refer to as an Event Tent, on Amazon. It’s gorgeous in the picture and even more so all set up. My neighbors have been full of compliments about this beauty.I studied the write up very carefully before I decided to purchase this. I saw the online videos of others who bought it and read reviews and overall, the reviews were very positive.Couldn’t beat the price tag. The event tent arrived days ahead of its delivery schedule. I was excited and took it out in the backyard. I laid all the parts out and looked at the easy to assemble instructionsThe instructions are clear that it is recommended that more than one person assemble this event tent. However, I didn’t have help available, so I decided to put it together myself.The poles ARE marked. And I did look for those markings but I didn’t see them until after I already assembled the roof frame and side wall legs, and was attaching the tarp to the poles. I saw the pole markings then. The poles are marked in what for my eyesight is a very light shade of gray. And my poles were not marked on the ends, but about my elbows distance from the end of the poles. And here I was, taking a break after putting the poles together, I went back inside the house for a cool drink of lemonade and wondering why the company didn’t mark the poles with the correct number, only to go back outside and see the numbers in front of me when lining up the roof tarp 🤷‍♀️. That’s on me.But I will say, in my own personal opinion, this would have been an even easier - and perhaps faster - set up - if the poles had holes where the other pole could slide and then have a little pop up notch to hold it into place. Then the poles would have at least held together better. I understand that this is a product to be able to assemble quick and take down quick, but I have event tables that have legs that are adjusted with notches so they stay in place. In my personal opinion, this tent should have those kind of poles. This tent has peices of metal that fold in when you put the poles into another pole or socket peice, and those poles do not stay together once they are put together. Now, for my own purposes, for my own reasons for getting this tent, I preferred to go back to each pole and duct tape with white duct tape every pole meeting up with another and every pole inserted into a joint piece. If there’s one thing I would change about this tent, it’s that, in my personal opinion, the poles should be notched into place.So I got the roof tarp on and then I got the side panels on. My neighbors in their backyards looking over their fences were very impressed with this beauty. This event tent IS a beauty.Now, I tying up the side walls to display those beautiful arched windows, the kit has velcro tabs. The idea is to simply wrap the velcro around the pole. In my kit, a few of these white velcro strips were barely stitched on the tarp. In fact, even with the most gentleness of care, a few strips fell off completely just touching them. A few velcro strips weren’t long enough to go around the pole. I knew I was keeping this event tent and I knew what I wanted to do, so I improvised and used white duct tape to hold the walls to the frame, and that was ok for me and my purposes.So if you decide to get this beautiful tent, check the poles for their specific numbers and before you put up the tent walks, check the velcro tabs and maybe have a back up plan on what you want to do if the Velcro tab falls off or isn’t long enough to go around the pole to hold it up.Well, event tent stands gorgous in the back yard. I am 5 foot 4 inches, and assembled this tent myself, - but I also improvised on the instructions to suit my own purposes. The company recommends 3 to 4 people to assemble this, stated in the directions, and I can easily see and understand why.This tent is meant to be up for a day for whatever your event, and then quick disessemble. In the instructions it is stated that this is not meant for any type of permanent structure. Well, with the neighbors compliments and I personally just loved looking at it, I didn’t have the heart to take it down yet, and haven’t. The event tent has been up standing strong in my backyard for 2 weeks and has endured some winds and some hard rain. It is still standing gorgeous, but I did duct tape the poles and duct tape the walls to the roof poles and I think the duct tape plays in the factor that this has held up this long. I mean, without the duct tape to hold the poles together, who knows? I plan to take it down in the next few days. it isn’t meant as a long standing tent structureI recommend this event tent to anyone who is willing to improvise with the little things ( velcro strip fix, duct tape or your preferred way to hold poles to joint parts more solidly, etc) as needed to put up the tent. Maybe even have better materials ( weights maybe) to achor the poles to the ground. My backyard ground needed more that metal stakes to hold the poles down so I used weights. My kit had all the poles, all the tarps - roof and sides, it had the “feet”’the tent poles slide into and rope to anchor the tent although I decided to use white clothesline/parachute rope I already had at home.But if I just used what came in the kit, my event tent would have -and did - fall apart - with ease because the poles, when assembling the frame, would NOT stay IN the joint sockets or other poles. The frame fell apart several times when I tried putting the roof tarp on, so I made the decision to use white duct tape. Even if 4 men were putting this together, I have serious doubts the frame would stay together because the poles would NOT stay inserted in other poles or the joints. Something has to hold those poles in place, but once those poles are held in place, putting up the tarp pieces is overall a very smooth processIf I relied soley on the kit’s contents I would not have been able to put it up. The poles wouldn’t stay together after repeated attempts at trying, until I duct taped it. and the Velcro strips either fell off or were too short.But improvised with duct tape, weights , and clothesline rope, the tent is up, and has stayed up ( for 2 weeks) through some hard rain and a touch of strong wind. So, improvise pout some materials from the kit for more endurance and you have yourself a beautiful event tent3 stars cuz I chose to Keep my tent and improvise on assembly5 stars for its appearance5 stars for the neighbors raving about your beautiful tent. Maybe 10 stars for that one.

I bought this tent for a garden-style picnic and didn't have high expectations because of the reviews. However, the tent far exceeded what I expected. We left it up for 3 days in which one of them, there was a thunderstorm and it stood tall with no problem. The tent didn't move and only had one packet of water in the top which was easy to dump.The frame itself feels like it may be of lower quality when putting it together, but if you stake the tent properly and make sure everything is in its place tightly, it isn't going anywhere. My lawn is very uneven so this was an important part for me. We used 3 of the sidewalls, hung a backdrop on one of them, and as you can see added a huge balloon arch to the front. We also had a huge patio umbrella fall into it and it remained in place.It was easy to take down and put away.If you have soft ground, I recommend reinforcing your stakes. I also recommend when using the sidewalls to wrap everything tightly. The tension will pull the frame into the best alignment. And if you're concerned the poles aren't securely in the corner pieces, use a mallet to get them in all the way.

If you are planning to only use once for a short time with no wind or any chance on anyone bumping or touching it maybe take a chance BUT I would NOT recommend buying this to anyone we used it the install wasn't to difficult IF you buy get someone to help you the frame quality is absolutely the worst I have ever seen a few sheets of paper would probably be stronger as for the canopy an sides again the same type of quality would have been cheaper to just buy a big roll of plastic sheeting and some bungee cords the canopy tore during install with little to no stress applied again plastic sheeting would have been more durable but the canopy thickness was probably thicker then the so called metalish frameif we had an option for a -star this would be one I would have to say deserves it
