Good sturdy frame, easy to install, helps to have a second person when putting legs on. Only thing I dont like is when it rains, water pools up on the top and you have to empty, stronger fabric or a frame that prevents the sagging would help. Ive experienced this with other Gazebos.
watch your bill of material should of been a light kit w it did not get it contacted them they send send unit back not goin to do that for a 18 light orther wise i would give all 5 stars
Great Gazebo for the price! Easy to assemble and took about 30min or less for two people. Im impressed! Will review again in later months to see if it holds against rust.
I had purchased the COBANA Grill Gazebo 8by 5Outdoor Patio Backyard BBQ Grill Shelter Double Tiered Soft Canopy Top with Steel Frame and Bar Counters, Gray about a year or so ago on and was disappointed on the quality and materials used. Thin steel, flimsy frame and cheesy hardware. I guess you get what you pay for 109.00 I was thinking of purchasing another only because it would be a temporary canopy since were having the back yard done next year, and didnt want to spend the money on something more expensive only to use it for 1 season.
The shipping would have been 40.00, so rather that spend that on shipping, I increased my budget and found this canopy, which might be from the same manufacturer. What a difference in material and construction.
The upper supports, seemed a little thicker, were welded better in all areas. The main frame was definitely better quality and it would handle wind a lot better. The assembly was easier with T screws, no special tools required, but some of the handles spun freely after tightening them, so I removed the plastic T and used some epoxy to set the threads.
It came together nicely, about 30/40 minutes total assembly time once you read through the instructions
The upper canopy was way easier to install with adjustable ends. No fighting to get the canopy on the frame and worrying about tearing the corner or put a hole somewhere. The velcro type fasteners are line up nicely and have just enough give so if a stiff breeze was blowing, it wouldnt tear the fabric.
The lights that accompany the canopy are useless. They sit on top of the canopy support bars and offer no real illumination other than to attract bugs. Better off getting one designed for a patio umbrella and using the center drop down hook.
Overall very happy with this selection, and I wont have to worry about going through this summer without any shade
My wife loves this canopy. It is well built and looks good. It went up relatively easy. The holes for the foot pads were too small and a pain to get the screws in. It was too hard using the supplied allen wrench, though it was the only tool needed. The instructions say to put the 4 pillars up and then build the canopy frame onto it from a ladder. I built the frame first, then mounted it on two of the pillars, then lifted the other side and mounted the pillars. I wish I had put the canopy on the frame first. The instructions say to take the canopy off before foul weather. We have had it up for several storms with no problem.
Wouldve given 5 stars if it wasnt so hard to put together. The directions werent very detai but i paid my neighbor to put it together and he did it quickly then asked for the link so he could buy one. Aming customer service as well. I love it!
Definitely have help when you are ready to assemble. A couple of ladders are also helpful. Also, a good ratchet set will make things faster. I purchased clamps to hold the corners of the top down. Any rain or wind, and the corners flap up and hold water.
I used sand bags on ratchet straps just to be sure it stays anchored down. The size is terrific, the privacy really do work. We are very happy with our purchase. It gives me somewhere to enjoy the breeze outside and be shaded while I swing
Overall, this is a terrific addition to your home.

Great product for the money
