YOLENY 10x13 Gazebo with Double Polycarbonate Roof & Aluminum Frame

This is a amazing gezebo. I love it. It is sturdy and the hardtop what a game changer. It has held up through 30 plus MPH winds with no issue. The curtain/screen is very nice. It can be put together with one person it just takes time. It best if you have a friend to help. I was missing a few small pieces of hardware but was able to get it together without the missing parts. This gezebo is a great value,beautiful and very sturdy. I would buy this again without any second thoughts

Ordered June 3, arrived in 2 boxes, one each on June 5th and 6th. Completed assembly before noon June 8. In 100 degree weather. Had watched a YouTube video by Spirit'ed Wrenchers for the exact 10'x13' gazebo we purchased and followed some of the tips they recommended. Suggest watching so you can seamlessly assemble yours. A couple of suggestions I have is when installing the roof panels, complete each section prior to going to the next. I had put up a few pieces and the wind caught a panel tossing it to the ground. It was not one that I could easily identify top and bottom, so re-install for sun side up was a guess. That happened early on, so for all the other panels. We left a small portion of the bottom protective plastic in place until the panel was secured. More advice for a smooth assembly. Especially if not on a hard surface. Level everything up. Once your legs are standing and the cross members are in place, put a 2' level across the long supports, all directions and make sure everything is perfectly level. Plumb the legs to ensure nice and straight. Square everything. Measure diagonally both directions, at the top and the bottom. This will ensure a perfectly squared assembly and all the rest of your efforts will be a breeze. And, particularly if in a windy location, secure in place before putting the roof panels on. Hard to explain finding your newly assembled gazebo blown into the neighbors yard. We also had a couple of unique characteristics for our use. One was building it next to a neighboring wall, and the other was constructing it on a somewhat elevated surface with only gravel. The proximity to the wall turned out not to make any big problem in the construction, as I was easily able to reach all parts and attachment points from my side of the wall. For secure anchoring, I bolted two of the feet to the bas of the wall using a bent aluminum support. Will embed some earth anchors in the ground for the other two legs. Clear step-by-step instructions. All parts extremely well packaged with part numbers labeled on outside of foam as well as on the parts.

This thing is awful To top it off had to call amazon customer service to request a UPS label from seller. They want the customer to pay to ship back after receiving such a terrible product. On sale I paid 523.00 and full price was close to 700.00. I couldn’t imagine this product being anywhere near worth that kind of money. The box was not damaged so the product inside was already damaged when they put it in. Screws refused to line up on most of the holes. They didn’t even want to tighten properly. One pole ( the leg) was crushed completely in. We somehow managed to work the kink out to try and get it put up. The roofing wouldn’t line up to slide in slots, which was the point of having a covered gazebo. I really think if you’re able to get one that’s not damaged it’s still not worth it. Also contacted Amazon and basically told unless I was willing to pay over 900.00 to ship ( which is refunded and had to wait up to 30 days) if you’re willing to wait. I wouldn’t be eligible for any help other than dishing out more money to get this taken care of. Please check and make sure these products are a full refund if damaged or if you’re unhappy. I have never been more disappointed in Amazon or this company in my life. I literally just gave away my money for junk. Please please don’t ever buy from this company.

Very nice gazebo and exactly as described. A little difficult to put together and time consuming but once you get on a roll it goes quickly. Definitely need 2-3 people. The only downside was that some of the roof panels came with a few dings in them and a few would not slide all the way into the channel. Make absolutely certain that you put it together in the exact spot you want it and that it is square and level. If you try to move it once it is put together, the frame will move and roof panels will slide out

**UPDATE** It's been about 3 months and we're still extremely happy with this gazebo. We live in WA state so it's already been through some wind and rain lol and is just as wonderful as the day we put it up. There's been no dripping or leaking of rain water - we HAD to put gutters on though. We LOVE it! I did a TON of research before deciding on this gazebo and we are so happy we chose this one! It took my husband and I about 7 or 8 hours spread over 2 days to get this assembled. (Any gazebo will be time consuming.) We found the pictures easy to follow and we didn't have any issues at all. It was fun to see it coming together and the roof was the best part!! That's when we could really see it as it would be. Just breathe and take your time and follow the directions. It wasn't that hard, I promise, (at least for us). They include extra hardware and extra curtain hooks which I think is awesome and everything came well packaged. We weren't missing anything and nothing was scratched or dented or anything like that. It comes with wedge anchors to attach it to cement but we opted to purchase through bolts with washers to attach it to our deck. In my opinion the poly roof lets in just the right amount of light - we didn't want it dark under here - and it does feel cooler under it. We live near the ocean so there is always a breeze and I know that helps. The directions say to put a hook on each side of the cupola with a screw in the middle but we decided to put one of the hooks in the middle (just swapped its position with the screw - they are the same size) so we can hang one large light from the center. We are planning to add a gutter to the side next to the house and I'm looking forward to the next rainy day so I can sit under it and watch the rain. :) This is a large purchase so I'm sure you're doing your research and reading reviews - here's a strong vote for this gazebo. It's everything we were hoping for, simple yet beautiful and most important... Functional! :)

It took 3 of us approximately 6 hours to put together. Most of it could've been done with 2 people. It wouldn't have taken us that long, but we got stuck on a single screw that we had a difficult time with. We built the deck 1 evening and built the gazebo on it the next day. As long as you follow the instruction manual closely and don't skip any steps, you'll be fine. As in other reviews, we laid all the parts out alphabetically in order. All parts were packaged in groups that were labeled and each part inside was labeled. There was no confusion on parts and there were no missing parts. We took out all screws and placed each kind in a separate plastic cup that we labeled. That made it much easier to get the correct type of screw when needed. We also watched a YouTube video of a couple that built this exact gazebo. This was the biggest advantage to correlate to the instruction manual. We had a good system that 1 of us read the directions / watched the YouTube video and unwrapped the parts needed for the next step. This allowed the other 2 people to continue working on construction. We used Command Hook light clips to attach the string lights to the D and E bars just above the curtain rack. We used a 48' strand of Edison bulb string lights that overlapped by about 2 feet. Keep in mind, that it allows light to come through like tinted plastic and is not a solid steel roof. So it does get warm on sunny days. However, we had a recent rain storm. We closed the curtains and everything inside remained dry. We love ours! It's a lot of work but so rewarding and well worth it.

We recently had our deck rebuilt and wanted to add some shade. We tossed around getting an umbrella, but to cover a table and chairs for 8 people required such a large umbrella with a massive base. So we decided on this gazebo instead. It was delivered very fast, just a few days. It comes in two fairly large boxes and is packed beautifully. There was not any damage to any pieces. I would give them 5+ stars for how well it was packed in the boxes. We laid all the parts out on the garage floor and just brought the pieces out on the deck as we needed them (it was really hot out and the less work in the sun the better;-)). The instructions are all in pictograms with no written instructions, which was fine with me. You just need to make sure you study the pictures well before beginning a task or step. But I found them easy to understand and follow. They show a picture of needing three people to assemble, but just my wife and I were able to assemble it easily. Because of the heat, we worked at a slower pace and just spent a few hours for two days and it was completed. It looks great, seems really well made, and has a very nice powder coated textured finish. We bolted it to the deck and it seems pretty solid in the wind. Overall we are really happy with this gazebo and would recommend it to others.

I have actually purchased this twice in the past year. The first time it was for Mother’s Day and my husband and I spent the better part of 8 hours putting it together. That being said, it suggests 3-4 people for assembly. A few corners were bent making some screws very hard to get in. And don’t jump to the next step or think you know what it is. Because they don’t have you screw on this or that little piece, despite it OBVIOUSLY going there for a reason. Once we finished it it was fantastic! Keeps the sun down and because of the vent up top it stayed cooler. But. There is a specific instruction that tells you to pour concrete footers and screw it down. And me in my oh so many years in construction (a total of zero) thought “pshhh this thing weighs ~150 lbs it’s not going anywhere!” Boy was I wrong. Despite the two tier design this bad boy caught the wind like a kite on steroids flying past my shed and successfully straddling my neighbors fence. Unfortunately the aluminum frame could not stick the landing and 3 out of 4 legs broke or bent and we had to trash it. I figured I would buy another come tax time but checked out of curiosity. And it was 49% off! I snatched one ultra quick but this time there was a critical error on one of the main beams. None of the screw holes or slots were cut into it. If my husband had not had the proper tools we would have had to take it all back apart and deal with a return or refund or replacement or who knows what. Despite all this it it still only took 6 hours to put together with my husband. And rather than pour concrete, buy some rebar, sink it into the ground 12” and bend it over to secure it down. Much cheaper than concrete but just as secure. It doesn’t look cheap like a lot of the inexpensive ones, and is rather large despite the lower price tag. The curtains are very thick and heavy which helps stifle wind if you want to be outside or are having a fire. It helps retain heat for chilly nights and while doesn’t provide solid shade it acts more like sunglasses or tinted glass. There is still light but it’s not glaring and the heat is less intense. Overall I would still recommend this to people considering the price point. I was willing to buy it a second time even knowing what the first had cost. Just be sure to secure it before the wind kicks up
