Review on 12' X 16' Hardtop Gazebo: Galvanized Steel Outdoor Canopy With Double Roof, Aluminum Frame & Netting/Curtains For Garden, Patio, Lawns & Parties by Kyle Smithlin

I almost didn't order because of negative reviews about how hard it was to build, instructions with just pictures, and damaged and missing parts. All not true for me! The packages came in two deliveries, it was packed very professionally with great packing material and all labeled. True the directions are not written but they are exactly like a lego set. Each step lists all of the parts you will need and a diagram of how to do it. The directions also tell you exactly which box has the parts you will need for that step and all the parts and boxes are labeled with the letters and numbers. My son is 22 and did legos his whole life. He was the one that got the parts together for each step and then we put them together. It did take us about 7 hours to complete with a lunch break but it wasn't that bad. You just have to really look at the directions and use logic. There were some great tips from some of the other reviewers that we used. You really need two people to keep it moving along. My wife came home when we had about two hours left and joined in which made the process even quicker handing us bolts and drill. Using drill instead of allen wrench really helped us fly along some steps. Roof was probably the hardest as everyone said but once we got a technique down on the first panel the rest were much easier. Wife was very pleased with the final product. We sat in it during sunset with the netting up and no bugs. You even get a net that velcros on the top gap part between the two roofs. Tomorrow we add two lights and a fan to the hanging hooks. We love it and it matches with the deck and house beautifully. Don't be scared, it's well worth the work. I think i cursed twice during this build.
