Review on Outdoor Hardtop Gazebo With Privacy Curtains And Mosquito Netting - 11' X 13' Spruce Wood Design For Patios, Gardens, And Backyards - YOLENY by Darrell Verduzco

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great Quality and Style

Shipping:FedEx tracking only showed a single number. Only 2 of 4 boxes arrived. Contacted seller who responded within 24 hours with the remaining 2 tracking numbers. This was not a fault of the seller, but FedEx who was understaffed at the time. All 4 boxes were received within 4 days.Assembly:I found it rather easy, but have assembled MANY of these flat pack-type products. I would say it took around 3 hours. Help is needed to raise the roof while preventing unneeded stress on the legs. I had one person which worked, but 3 would be ideal. Securing the roof panels REQUIRES more than one person as any bolt not right on the edge would be impossible to install. Someone needs to insert roof spacers and hold the nut while someone drives the bolt. Instructions were word-less but easy to follow. All parts were there with added hardware where you would expect to see it.Quality:Purchased in order to leave up in a New York winter. While it has not seen one yet, i am not worried about its ability to hold a moderate snow load and take heavy wind. The cross braces that hold the legs to the roof are surprisingly sturdy for a flat pack product like this. The coating on the entire thing has a great finish and seems really thick. As in some other reviews, i agree some parts can seem flimsy when on their own, but the finished product is plenty sturdy.UPDATE >> One winter season behind us. This handled snow loads of just under a foot with no issue, but not to say you should not keep it clear (would handle heavy winds better with no snow load). We did have a full day storm with wind gusts of up to 60 miles per hour and it is not rated for that. It is tapconned in and still standing. We do bunch up the curtains into the top corners under the roof and bungie them there to reduce anything the wind could get a hold of (in the winter season and if we know a wind storm is eminent).Mounting:It came with concrete expansion anchors that seemed a little weak, but this is not the reason i opted to NOT use them. There are no "foot" caps. So whatever you use to mount it can be seen. Some have a cap you can put on before building and lower it over after mounting. their mounts use a lock and normal washer and a bolt that even if you cut remaining thread off seems like a toe's worst nightmare if barefoot and kicked it. I opted for 2.5 in x 1/4 tapcon, hex top. It has a low profile and holds more than it needs to.
