Its nice, 4guy set up makes it easy. Needs to have a pocket on the bottom of the curtains you could fill with sand to weight them down. Not quite long enough to set bricks or something on them.
This is a well made product that goes together without any major issues. You have to be methodical and be able to decipher the pictures because there arent many words in the instructions. Give your self time to make mistakes and then correct them. I assembled the Gazebo mostly by myself in about 2 days. One person helped me with the raising of the roof and installation of the roof panels. Bob Gervais has a good description of assembly in his review. I assembled the roof structure with my wife on a windy day and I found it easier to put the cross pieces up first instead of the diagonal pieces. The cross pieces are shorter and less unwieldy. The only mistake I made was positioning the medallion at top where all of the roof structure pieces meet. I should have turned the medallion 45 degrees so the velcro parallels the second roof line. This would have better aligned the mosquito netting where there is an opening with the second roof. This was not a big deal. I also put the Gazebo on my deck and I knew I wanted to install a fan so I drilled a half inch hole (good for 12/2 wire) on the top of one of the legs and dropped a thin rope through the hold so I could snake wire through the leg later. This worked except the diagonal roof structure partially blocked the hole so you should see how this piece sits on the leg. The Gazebo has added a lot of enjoyment for us when we use our deck. It blocks the bright summer sunlight which kept us off the deck for most of the day. This was a great purchase for a sturdy structure.
I LOVE MY Gazebo! I bought this to replace a canopy top Gazebo that crashed under the weight of snow this past winter. I am so happy I did. The hardtop prevents you from getting wet when it rains. I can enjoy the Gazebo in bad weather. I did pay someone to assemble it for me. He stated that the roof was a little tough to put together but it looks great nonetheless.
HELP! HELP! we lost the instructions. If anyone posting still has theirs can you post pictures so that this does
not turn out to be a very expensive disaster
Love the Gazebo now that it is done, but what a pita to put the roof together. It was not easy and the instructions were thrown out (do what works for you with those sliding panels because they really are that awful to get both pieces in each section up at the same time / why didnt they just make it one panel or have a bracket between them like other Gazebos! Other Gazebos have easier systems that make more sense for their construction. If I had known, I would have bought one of those. I live in hurricane country so I dont look forward to having to dismantle and put back together if the need arises. In fact, I may just sell it if I have to because it was that big of a pain!!
We love our new Gazebo.
It is everything we wanted at a reasonable price compared to building one.
I write this review specifically because through the years we have owned quite a few Gazebos. The mosquito preventing curtain is smartly designed it really covers from top to bottom and it has zippers to keep it closed. Works aming. We can finally have fun and no mosquitoes !
2 tips on installation , though .
1/ The reason I am not giving 5 stars is because the instructions are terrible !!! really bad. so read through the entire instruction sheets / look at ALL images before doing anything .
2/ Do not unzip the mosquito mesh to install, take it as a whole piece and install.
ENJOY !
Im very happy with this Gazebo. It did take us 2 days and at least 4 of us to install it. Well worth the money. We anchored it to the patio with concrete screws. High winds last night and its fine.

Nice but gutters are useless.
Love this! Not easy to put together. All the seams on the gutter leak. Is spacious and looks nice. Missing the 3 hooks for roof.
Decent
