MELLCOM 10x12FT Hardtop Gazebo, Wooden Finish Coated Aluminum Patio Gazebo with Aluminum Composite Double Roof for Patio Lawn and Garden, Curtains and Netting Included

Love this gazebo. Got the 10x12. Very sturdy. Took about 8 hours to put together. But well worth it. Instructions were very easy to follow and all hardware was included with extras. Holes lined up great. What a beautiful edition.

As far as the Gazebo itself I am pleased , but I WENT THROUGH TOTAL HELL DEALING WITH MELLCOM . THE DELIVERY SERVICE THEY USE IS CRAPPY AS HELL . After 3 seperate deliveries of the damaged , unuseable roof panels and a month of back and forth with Mellcom THE 48 HR WAIT FOR THEM TO RESPOND EACH TIME I RECIEVED ANOTHER SHIPMENT OF DAMAGED PANELS . THE PANELS ARE SHIPPED IN A METAL FRAME WITH NO PROTECTION TO PREVENT DAMMAGED TO THE PANELS WITH SARAN WRAP AROUND THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF METAL FRAME NOTHING TO STOP PANELS FROM SLIDING AND BUMPING AGAINST THE METAL FRAMES NO SUPPORT AT ALL , THIS IS WHAT CAUSED THE DAMAGE TO THE PANELS NO WARNING INFO LABELS ON BOXES ( do not drop , Fragile , etc.) One set of panels had complete boot prints all over the boxes where they had beenrepeatedly walked over . I HAD TO CANCEL MY BIRTHDAY AND 4TH OF JULY EVENTS THIS YEAR , It was to the point that I requested a full refund Mellcom refused , I requested compensation for shipping and handling that I paid Mellcom refused I after going through taking pictures of damaged torn up boxes of panels, damaged panels , proof of how they were delivered to my home Mellcom had the nerve to suggest that if I could make repairs to the panels if possible , and their cost for having to reship new boxes of roof panels as if it was my fault . " My response " I paid for shipping and handling and a BRAND NEW GAZEBO AND THATS WHAT IM EXSPECTING TO RECIEVE . FRUSTATED , PISSED OF AND HURT BY THEIR BUSINESS TACTICS . THANKS TO THE ASSISTANCE OF AMAZONS PISSED CUSTOMER SERVICE TEAM MY NIGHTMARE IS FINALLY OVER , AND MY BRAND NEW GAZEBO IS COMPLETE .

We had purchased a soft top canopy for the pool deck last year for $169. That lasted 8 months. So this year I ordered the 12x14 Polycarbonate roof gazebo. I wanted the poly instead of the aluminum top to allow some day light to come through. It arrived in 4 boxes. I opened the boxes and spread out the parts and "read" the directions. I read the reviews about assembly but my wife is the mechanically inclined one of us and we weren't intimidated. The directions are mostly pictures but the parts were clearly marked which made assembly a breeze, until it was time to slide in the roof panels. That was the biggest pain in this job. It was tough to get them all aligned properly so that the end caps fit. But we muddled through it and 6 hours later, we were done. We did not work fast and my wife double checks everything, otherwise it would have taken 5 hours (with power tools). Everything fit and all the holes were in the right place. It seems really sturdy but we have not had much wind lately. We haven't had much rain either so I can't speak about that. Some reviews said it was too hot under it but I live in south Georgia and we have had some hot days and sitting under it was just fine. We did purchase a hanging gazabo fan and put some LED light strips and so far it is a wonderful addition.

The media could not be loaded. Would give zero of if I could. After 1 year panels started to bend. I contacted the customer support and asked for assistance, they made it painfully difficult, and ultimately offered no help. I asked for those panels to be replaced, got nothing, not even an option to buy them myself. Absolute waste of money, would not recommended buying.

We live in the Pacific Northwest and have had this item for several months now. We mou Ted it directly to a new wood deck and it has been through some record heat in the summer, a few wind storms, rain, and some decent snows. We added a couple strings of lights as well, so far it has worked well for us overall. However, if you aren't so handy, might be more of an issue to maintain.Pros:Easy setup overall, did 90% of it with no help. A 12' or extendable ladder helps a lot too. Studying the drawings and the parts before hand helped with the moderately useful instructions.The hook holds a hefty fan with no problems, as mentioned by others adding a length of chain makes reaching it much easier.Stays dry underneath when rainy, holds up to 5-6 inches of dry snow no problem as well.Cons:If you routinely have winds above 25-30MPH, you should modify the lower retainers and panels or go with a unit with more solid construction. The lower retainers are very flimsy and flex allowing lower edge to come free and the panel to blow out. Also an issue when snow starts to slide off and drags on the retainer. My plan is to replace them with 1/2" angle iron, and add some self tapping screws with 1" washers through the lower panels into the mid brace.The curtains fade quickly, taking them down for long periods of disuse and/or storm season is advisable.While the plastic roof material doesn't radiate the summer heat down like metal roofing does, the glare of the sun can be a bit much. We added sheer drapery material to cut the glare and further reduce radiant heat as a fix (plus my girls like how it looks).

Nice product. Lots of work to put together.
