ABCCANOPY Hardtop Gazebo 8x8 - Outdoor Metal Hard Top Gazebo, Permanent Galvanized Steel Aluminum Framed Pavilion with Netting and Curtain for Patio Backyard Lawn Garden (Double Roof, Gray)

Put together by myself. Just put screws in loose at each stage, then tighten. Pretty sturdy.

For the most part it was very well thought out in the design phase. It will take two people to build this especially for the roof to save time. Do not install the concrete anchors prior to finishing the roof. Just in case you need to adjust the location a little like I had to. Have a 5/16” metal bit ready when you construct the roof as the holes are little off. This will not affect the integrity of the construction but some holes need a little help. The only thing I would suggest is that because it’s a standing seam metal roof, buy some rubber washers for the screws (not included) due to possible leaks. The instructions are all pictorial and no written instructions but if you have put together anything, you should be able to figure it out no problem. We are very happy with it and would definitely recommend this if you’re in the need of a nice gazebo.

This is a nice, attractive product that is pretty well made and easy enough to assemble if you're handy. It took me about 3 hours being meticulous. There are extra pieces of each of the fasteners and R/D1 baffles included as well.Some pointers:This is in regards to those thinking it has poor quality control and who "had to drill new holes". Install everything LOOSE at first especially the initial structure and roof panels. Otherwise you will struggle needlessly and things will not be square or line up. Once 4 sides are standing, grab a square and check that legs are square to the beams, then check that the beams are square to each other, THEN you may tighten the screws. This will be a similar experience with the roof frame (pages 5 & 6). See photo.I also strongly recommend an impact driver (easy does it) and a hex bit versus using the silly blue and yellow swedish furniture store inspired allen key.Another tip, do not fully install the roof cap "K" as shown on page 7. Set the "V" screw aside and ONLY install the hooks about a 1/4" once placed on top. This will allow you to lift said cap to facilitate install of the O2/O3 roof panels and it will not fall off. (You will notice that the "R" baffle will not fit under the cap otherwise). Once all panels are on, apply upward pressure to each panel overlap, then tighten bolt and nut followed by tightening the screws on pages 5&6 and THEN the "V" screw and hooks for the cap.Install of the rain gutters will require a second person to support the far end while you apply decent pressure to get the "M2" cap at each corner to line up for the screw.You must anchor this down. Despite being all metal it is not very heavy and will take off in a wind storm.Some drawbacks:The shelves are not fully covered by the roof overhang. Also the "gutter" that covers the lower end of the roof panels will be a catch-all for leaves/pine needles etc. The included photo by the manufacurer is also misleading. The water will actually drip out of several small weep holes along the length of each side and not down the support legs as it appears in the description, (see photo). I may end up removing the gutters so everything just runs off.Also, due to this not being a double tier roof design, smoke/grease from grilling will collect and not "vent" out if you try to keep your grill centered and not close to one long side. For these reasons I take a star.I snagged this on a coupon deal for one-fifty off the seven hundred normally advertised and consider it a good buy and I expect it to last quite a while.

I am not one to purchase things online, I like to purchase in the store where I can see and touch the item. But since I couldn't find anything, I took a chance and purchased this gazebo online. I couldn't be happier with the end results. The gazebo looks great, is extremely sturdy, and I would 100% buy this product again. The gazebo arrived in 3 separate packages, the pieces were wrapped very nicely and professionally, and I received all the pieces. There were a few bent corners on some of the pointed ends of the roof panels, but a pair of pliers easily fixed this issue. I agree, the instructions could give a few more details on assembly, but if you take your time on each step, separate those pieces, you should have no problem with assembly. There is no doubt, this assembly is easier with two people, especially with the roof pieces, but I did the entire assembly by myself with the help of an 8' ladder and two patio chairs. The only help where I needed another set of hands was when tightening a few bolts. There was one issue with the cross braces L1 & L2, those predrilled holes didn't line up with the screw holes rail. Of the 16 predrilled holes, I had to drill 8 new holes to make the pieces fit. It was not a big deal, just needed a hole punch and a drill using a 1/4" bit and drilled new holes and everything fit nicely. The only other thing I would remind people, when attaching the roof panels, please remember to add the plastic spacers before tightening all the roof panels, especially the spacers at the top of the roof panels. Overall, very happy with the end product.

So far so good

ABCCANOPY 6x8 hard top grilling gazebo was missing all of the top connections to put the panels in place and secure them. Can't use it without the top. Don't have a number to call to complain and request the missing parts. Very disappointing!

We purchased the gazebo and were able to put it together pretty quickly. While we enjoyed the shade during the hot summer days, we were able to repurpose it and use it as an additional greenhouse for our large potted succulents and potted lemon trees that are to big to get thru our greenhouse door. We purchased heavy duty clear vinyl sheeting with grommets which installed easily, added a small heater, and a thermostat to control the temperature and everything is working perfectly. Would definitely recommend.
