Very nice Gazebo: my feedback

I am impressed with the overall design and sturdiness. Assembly instructions were clear enough, even though they are pictorial only. I advise looking ahead a little to check next steps. I disagreed with the steps when it came to the roof. instead of laying out all the roof panels and putting the clips on, I found the panels I needed for the next step and put the Z clips on as I put the panels up and I put one or 2 screws in the panel to hold it in place while we put the other panels up.I was able to do most of the assembly by myself. I built the first part upside down with the legs up in the air. Then I needed some help to turn it over (wife and 13 year old grand daughter). I also needed help putting roof panels on (one more person). One person cannot reach far enough to align the top of the panels and put the nuts on the screws or tighten them, it takes 2.The manufacture did provide a few extra screws, spacers and Z clips. Apparently in case of loss or other problems. This was nice. I did have trouble with a couple screws out of a couple of hundred. One cross threaded (probably my fault) and I couldn't straighten it out. Where it was, I was able to drill next to it and put in a bolt and nut all the way through a roof support brace. Another acted a bit like it may have stripped or the captive nut spun. But, where it was, I felt it was good enough as is. All of the holes lined up well and alignment was not a problem. If they don't you may just need to make sure the unit is square.My only criticism would be: 1.) there seem to be no written instructions anywhere and no contact or customer service number to call if you need help or replacement parts. Possibly the seller would be the contact. 2.) the lower drip edge does not have enough support in my opinion. It is only held in the middle and and at the corner of the roof and is pretty thin metal. Living where it snows I was concerned that snow would push the edge off and bend it. So, I added two sheet metal screws for each piece. So 16 screws. I got painted #8 x 1/2 stainless steel screws (for windows) at the local hardware store. Drilled through the trim and roof and screwed them in from underneath. They are hidden from by the trim on the topside and dark brown from the lower side. This made the trim much more secure.
