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

We were going to build a wood gazebo but given the cost of lumber these days, going with a pre-made unit made sense cost wise and time/effort to install. I looked at a lot of different ones and ended up going with the Yoleny based on the reviews here on revain.Was a bit concerned with the manpower requirement (3people) and the picture only instructions to assemble this unit, but it turned out to be a non issue. My wife and I were able to put this together in two evenings of work and a few adult beverages and not requiring any help from others.The gazebo arrived over several days in 4 large boxes, 3 for the frame and 1 for the roof panels. The frame boxes are long but not that heavy, for the roof panels we had to open the box in the front of the house and carry the large panels to the backyard individually as the box was too heavy for us to carry in one trip.The instructions looked a bit lacking at first, but it ended up being a non issue for us. The best advice I can give, is to do a full inventory and lay out all the parts first. This really helps with knowing what all the parts look like so you can match them up with the illustrations. The long boxes have all the parts for the frame, so you could start once you have those as roof panels go on last.Only tools needed are a good Allen wrench, as the one provided in the kit is crap. To make things go a bit quicker I also used an electric screwdriver with both Philips and Allen bits. When assembling leave most of the screws loose to help fit things together, then go back and tighten things up once the frame is together. The roof panels are the biggest challenge as you are working on a ladder and the larger roof panels are awkward and take some tweaking to get all the holes to align, but not that bad really.This unit is well designed and looks pretty strong, but definitely needs to be anchored down. We installed ours on a concrete slab near our pool and I drilled holes in the concrete with my hammer drill and used screw in anchors from Lowes.Overall its a solid, good quality nice looking unit which should hold up for years
