Erommy 12'x14' Gazebo Polycarbonate Double Roof Canopy with Aluminum Frame, Outdoor Permanent Metal Pavilion with Netting and Curtains for Garden Patio Lawns

We did lots of research on the type and size of a gazebo for our yard. There are so many things to consider; steel, poly-carbonate, polyester canopy as well as all the options on the poles/legs. We fell in love with this Erommy gazebo as it seemed to have all the features we wanted. The roof is-poly-carbonate; friends who bike say their mountain bikes are made of this strong durable material. I wanted mosquito netting as well as a quality drape for privacy. Most other gazebos do not include the drape and when they did, they looked cheap and were an additional $200.00. We are very pleased with the quality of the drapes and netting included with our Erommy gazebo. We went on you tube and typed in "Erommy gazebo assembly" and watched a 12 minute video before purchasing. We knew we could put it together with the help of a few teenagers. The package arrived promptly. However, 4 smaller panels were damaged on the corners. I remembered reading another reviewer mention this and they said that Erommy replaced some damaged panels they received. So, we requested replacement panels as well and recently received them. Erommy came through for us! They have improved how they secure the panels in packaging so hopefully this won't be an issue for you. I put all the small parts into bowls with the assigned numbers. I never had to wonder where a bolt was or if it fell out of the bag, (especially when you have helpers) they never had problems finding a part. We had no problems with the hardware and had a few to spare. The same thing with the panels; they are labeled very well and we kept those together and while the 5 of us were working everyone knew where to find a panel. My wife and I spent an hour putting the legs and some framing together and organizing the larger metal frame parts in the yard. The crew came and it took us 6 hours to complete, but if I had an additional ladder it could have easily been cut in half. You need an A frame ladder to reach top panels. It was very simple. The instructions had great pictures, but no words. However if you watch the video, the instructions make perfect sense. It is very important to anchor the gazebo for stability and safety. I had never drilled into concrete before and was worried, but with a proper drill bit it was easy. It is very windy here, but the gazebo is solid. The gazebo turned out great. Neighbors and friends are very impressed (and maybe a little envious!) The frame is thick and solid metal. We cannot be happier with the durable quality of netting and drapes. By choosing poly-carbonate roofing we get the durability but it allows some light and does not get hot underneath. We are so happy we made this choice it is perfect for what we wanted. This truly looks like a gazebo you would find at a nice vacation resort. We put in a sound system/flickering light that enhances the feeling of an at home vacation. I only wish we would have thought of this a year ago when we were stuck at home.
