12' x 14' Hardtop Gazebo Outdoor Aluminum Gazebo with Galvanized Steel Gable Canopy for Patio Decks Backyard by domi outdoor living (Wood Looking)…

We had a nice pop up canopy on our deck that lasted a year before the fabric ripped, so we wanted a more permanent solution to cover our deck furniture. I found this gazebo and thought it would do the job. So far, so good! Assembly was a bit lengthy and kinda sketchy. Took about 16 hours total, and I had a friend help for about 10 hours of that. The upper roof panels kept slipping out before I could get the edges on, almost sliced my buddy that was helping me. I used electrical tape to hold the panels in place until I could get the edge on. Speaking of roof panels, SKIP THE CLIPS. Like others have said the z clips are mostly useless and only slow you down. I used a mix of 1/4 inch grade 5 machine screws/nuts, 2.5 inch length, and 1/4 inch lag screws, 2.5 unch length, with scrap pressure treated 2x6 wood pieces under the deck boards for extra hold. It seems really sturdy but only time will tell. I had some warping on the bug net for the upper roof ventilation, just used gorilla tape to help hold it down per advice from another review. It's not gonna be 100% bug proof but the curtains are a nice addition. My only co.plaint is even the slightest breeze makes the fabric blow into the space. I am going to look into making a solution to secure the center of each wall to the deck railing when the fabric is zipped. All in all, a great value. Something like this made custom for the deck would probably cost $10k+. You can't beat this price and I'm excited to have this amazing outdoor space just in time for summer.

Was a little challenging setting up, but worth it. Very sturdy and attractive. The mosquito netting curtains are great.I recommend 2 or more people to assemble. Also glue the plastic rain rails to the roof panels before installing to avoid pulling your hair out and cussing a lot! They should affix these to the roof panels during production.G

We purchased this gazebo in June 2024. Comes in 3 separate boxes. Parts were clearly marked and the directions (35+ pages) were relatively clear using mostly pictures. As others have said, it's a sturdy well-built structure, plenty of extra screws, nuts, etc. Couple screws got cross-threaded and didn't fully seat, but nothing that comprises integrity. Tip - start your drill driver slowly to ensure the screw is engaging the embedded nut threads correctly. You definitely need 2 people to assemble the base frame and the roof structure. When it comes to the roof panels, as others have said, throw out the plastic clips, they aren't needed. We built this over an existing hot tub on a cement patio so instead of draining and moving the hot tub, we used a 4'x8' sheet of OSB and laid it over the hot tub cover so we could stand on the hot tub to assemble the higher sections and the roof panels. Overall assembly wasn't necessarily hard, but time consuming. We estimate it took a total of about 10-12 hrs to assemble. It is a beautiful gazebo, nice finish on the steel (ours is brown), and should last a long time.Key tips:1- use a drill driver not the included allen wrench, otherwise it would take you days and days and days to screw in the hundreds of screws. Start each screw slowly at first2 - 2 people, 2 ladders are required3 - assemble the diagonal roof supports on the ground and then lift up and through the base frame into the corner slots4 - do not tighten the screws on the base frame until frame is fully assembled as you may need to wiggle a few parts around to get everything lined up. The directions say this as well.5 - don't use the plastic roof panel clips, they are cumbersome and really not necessary6 - everything does indeed fit together well, you shouldn't have to drill any new holes, just take your time when aligning everything, especially the roof panels.7 - study the pics in the directions very closely so you don't end up putting something on wrong, backwards etc.8 - be sure the rails where the curtain clips are slid in are such that the blocked ends of each rail (2 per wall) are in the corners so the clips can fully slide along each wall9 - the curtains are to be installed between two perpendicular walls, 6 clips (half of the curtain panel) clip onto say the front wall and the other half (6 clips) is clipped into the adjacent wall so that you can bunch them up in the corners against the posts.

Pretty easy to assemble took me and my husband probably about six hours. We didn’t like the little plastic hooks for the Roofing so we didn’t use them, but it works fine without they wouldn’t stay in as we were trying to put the roof on, but it looks great. It’s worked out awesome for us, it’s a very good product. I would highly recommend it.

I really like the gazebo! It is sturdy and looks great! After years of replacing fabric canopy tops every season - it was time to get something permanent. I did this project entirely by myself. It took about 28 hours - but I was working around a few obstacles. We have fence around our pool deck and our yard slopes - so three of the roof sides were a little tricky. It would have gone much faster with two people. Now that I am finished - I could probably do it again in half the time. Three tips that I would give. One - either the instructions are backwards on the two middle roof cross braces or they were marked wrong in the box. Took about 20 minutes to figure this out and correct it. Two - I spent more time than I should have climbing up and down the ladder to pick up roof clips that kept falling off. About half way through - I started taping them on with electrical tape. Saved a bunch of time and made that part of the job MUCH easier! Three - do not be afraid to install the roof panels out of order. They want you to install the larger panels over the smaller ones so they suggest doing the corners first - then doing the center. Since I was working near the pool edge - I worked from corner to corner. You can easily tuck the smaller panel under the larger if you install them first. Overall - I am very happy with this product!

Bought this 10x12 for my backyard. Instructions were very easy to follow and only had issues a couple of times. Did about half of the work myself, but definitely a 2 man job (minimum) if you want it done faster. Total time spent putting it together was about 13 hours spread over 3 days. Wife is very happy with the outcome. It's the perfect addition to our backyard for our many summer gatherings.

I love my new sunroom gazebo. It has been raining quite a bit in Edmonton, so this has been a God's send. Having my morning coffee and watching the rain and the sunset! It took 2 handymen 8 hours to assemble. I can't wait to entertain in this beautiful, and as far as I know, sturdy sunroom/gazebo. It can fit a table, chairs and a sofa/ bench comfortably. Love it! DOMI is very supportive and communicative. I would definitely recommend buying from them.

I’m still assembling it.So far all good.very easy and light to do it. I’ll update later because I am not done yet.So far all are good I am satisfied what I paid for. Delivery is excellent fast and no damages.Highly recommended.

It's perfect it's actually what we wanted
