10′ x 10′ Outdoor Pergola Aluminum Gazebo w/ Retractable Canopy for Patio, Backyard, Party, Brown

Beautiful
This is exactly what I wanted. Much bigger than I thought. I expect this to last year's .

new
some one had started to put this together and stripped 2 bolts and then they must have sent it back it is ci and c2

Does the job and sturdy
We love this. I wasn't that bad to set up. That was some ppl complaints. Took about 1-2 hours at the most. The only reason I gave it a 4 star is because the water after a rain sits on the top. Otherwise it's sturdy and shades the deck. Very happy with our choice.

Beautiful…especially for the value!
Great product! This will be the 2nd year and it still looks great. Definitely got my money's worth!

One of the best things I've ever bought!!!!!!
Summer sun is HOT here and this shading gives a huge relief to the heat. I love sitting out under this pergola this summer and enjoying my back yard. A challenge to put up, but think it through and you won't make the mistakes I did that had to be redone! Good quality, sturdy. Stands up well in wind – but mine is protected on 3 sides too. So there's that. Generally, I LOVE it! Just put the awning away for the winter. Really holds the rain!

Nice looking and holds up well.
we have had this for over 2 years now and it’s still holding up! I purchased this in April and wanted to wait a while before I wrote a review. We live in a very windy area and this has held up for 7 months so far. The legs do seem to want to bend or buckle if the wind gets really bad, but we just go out and push it back in place. We have ours secured to our patio by using flower pots that are filled with sand and rocks for decoration. Assembly was not a fun time, but doable with two people – although I would highly recommend having 3 or 4. I doubt this will last for more than a couple of years, but it’s been great for the 3 seasons that we’ve had it so far. It wasn’t super expensive, and does the job. I would purchase this again.

Overall – Like It So Far
1. Received everything I was supposed to 2. Bonus a few screws/bolts (did not use them but nice when they include them – just in case) 3. Assembly Instructions (terrible) 4. Overall build quality seems good for the price point 5. As light as this unit is, I would for sure recommend anchoring it!

Adequate
My husband and I put this up in an hour or so. I don't know why everyone says the instructions are terrible? I followed them step by step without difficulty. It seems adequate for our purposes and hopefully will last at least a few seasons. We anchored it to concrete and it seems sturdy enough.

Why the hate?
I want to preface my review by stating I assembled this completely solo, and not the 3 person minimum as stated on the product, so take what you will out of this review. I consider myself to be "relatively handy" at DIY, but I am not a professional.1. The product arrived in a giant, heavy box but all the pieces were accounted for and nothing was broken, damaged, etc. One of my "S" bars (the top beam pieces of the pergola) was a bit scuffed. That was it.2. The instructions straight up suck. The whole assembly is only about 8 steps when it should have been about 20 or more. They try and jam 3-4 steps into 1 step and only provide photos. There are no written instructions, and the photos are not always obvious on what it's trying to show. This resulted in a lot of disassembly and re-assembly on my part to correct my errors. You need to look at every little detail in those photos to make sure your screw holes are facing the correct way, which is represented with a very tiny dot on the images. 3. I assembled as much as I could indoors on carpet/linoleum flooring as it was raining outside at the time. All beams, legs, etc were done indoors until the weather cleared up.4. Once the weather cleared up, I assembled what I would consider the worst part (considering I was alone) which was attaching the legs together with the beams to get it standing. The process itself isn't terrible, but it was extremely difficult alone. 5. Once the legs are standing on their own, the rest of the assembly is pretty simple and self explanatory.6. Attaching the canopy rail isn't terrible, but again, a pain solo. The canopy material is that of umbrella type material. Mine did not tear during assembly and appeared strong.The hands down most frustrating part of this assembly was trying to do everything alone, and that's no fault of the product. The unclear photo instructions is their fault, though.In the end, the pergola is very stable and looks very nice. My backyard neighbors commented immediately after I finished to say it looked really good. I'm sure they enjoyed watching me struggle.I absolutely recommend using a quality screwdriver and not the junk provided with this. Seeing the photos of the "bending" legs tells me that they did not tighten the screws properly. I used a ratchet screwdriver, and fully tightening the screws corrects this easily.I also did not have any issues of the beams or pieces "bending like tin cans" as another reviewer described. All pieces felt tough and sturdy, good metal material, and I dropped pieces several times onto a cement patio with no scuffing or bending. None of my screws stripped during assembly. I had no issues with holes not aligning. I again point this to user/assembler error. If they don't line up, you did something wrong.

Happy with Patio Gazebo Garden Pergola
The Gazebo was shipped and received within three days, it was great. Took my daughter and I less than 4 hours to assembly and easy to move when trying to find the right final resting spot for it. I would recommend the nylon bags to weight down the post.

Cute in one afternoon
So I love it. But know it took two of us 4 hours and directions are like reading ikea directions. It is hollow aluminum. And I secured in pots with rocks and dirt. The canopy must be pulled back in heavy rain and wind or will droop. I secure with a bungee cord to close it back in Virginia rainy thunderstorms. I am assembly challenge person. So have a person who isn’t and be ready to assist. I would buy again. And would go larger. Mine is small size.

Happy Camper!!
I love my Pergola!!! The package came on time without damage. The instructions were AWFUL! Thank goodness my brother and nephew were able to do some great guessing along with process of elimination to complete the construction of this beautiful backyard centerpiece.
