Review on YITAHOME 10X10Ft 2-Tier Hardtop Gazebo With Netting And Curtains, Outdoor Aluminum Frame Garden Tent For Patio, Backyard, Deck And Lawns by Tracey Bacon

The build quality of the YITAHOME 10x12ft Double Roof Hardtop Gazebo is very good. It looks durable, only time will tell. It came 4 days earlier than promised. It came in two packages, each about 65lbs. I laid out all the parts on a drop cloth in my garage. I started the assembly inside the garage until step number 4 (four legs with A, B, B1, C and C1). I then moved the four partially assembled frames to my patio. There I connected part P to create two halves of the frame. At this point, I asked my wife to hold one side of the frame upright while I connected the other half of the frame using part P. This was very easy. I assembled 95% of the gazebo alone, requiring my wife’s help only couple of times. It took me about 16-20 hours (spread out over one week) to finish the assembly. You will need good quality ladders to build the gazebo. I will recommend not to use power tools. I used the supplied hex key.Make sure to follow the instructions very carefully. There is a mistake either in the instruction or part labeling for parts E and F. Swap them. They provided exact member of bolts and screws but unfortunately some of their screws came unusable. I had to get same sized screws from Home Depot. In my opinion, parts Z1, Z2, Z3, Z4 are slightly larger than they should be, they don’t fit properly. Do not tighten the screws and bolts all the way until you have inserted every single bolt.I used four large planting pots to weigh down the legs (I didn’t want to drill my patio pavers) and planted flowers in the pots. I drilled three drain holes in each pot bottom, then first filled with river pebbles, followed by sand, flowed by potting soil. The river pebbles to keep the drain holes free from clogging, the sand to filter the water so that they don’t stain my patio pavers. I will see how long the aluminum legs stay rust free.
