Outsunny 3 x 4m Hardtop Gazebo Canopy with Metal Roof, Aluminium Gazebo Permanent Pavilion with Netting and Curtains, Brown

Very good quality product.Comes in two HEAVY packages (be careful moving these).Instructions clear and (as expected from other reviews) construction straightforward up until the roof panels.Skeleton was done with two people - though ideally a third would have avoided having to balance it against a wall to get the legs and uprights all put together.Now … the roof panels. This is quite achievable but ONLY IF YOU HAVE A TALL STEP LADDER.Overall: Choose a corner to start. Fit the bottom and top panels, then move around one position, but skip the centre side sections (square panels) as these don’t need access from above so are done last.We spent over an hour failing to get the first corner lower panel in using a small step ladder for the bottom person and a 5 rung step ladder (top rung 1.36m) that only allowed the top person (me) to REACH through the ceiling level. In retrospect this was utterly impossible. I eventually used a 7 rung ladder (1.48m top step) which allowed me to be high enough to reach down and across to roof level when fitting the panels in. I’m 5’8”.Procedurally, the instructions are right (bottom panel first and then top panel) but trial and error gives the following insights.I tried loosening one ‘vertical’ strut each time (the idea being to slot the panel into the tight strut and then ‘easily’ position the looser strut into place). BAD IDEA! It works on some but left too much tensioning to do in the corner verticals to be able to get them bolted back into place. So DON’T LOOSEN THE VERTICAL STRUTS.However DO loosen the horizontal bars (the ones half way up the roof). When tightened these can hinder the panel being pushed up into its slots. Just loosen each end so the bar isn’t hindering movement.For the bottom panel: best to position the ‘hypotenuse’ side first (ie the gazebo corner). We ended up laying the panel roughly in place over the frame and then (mainly from above) slotting the first side (hypotenuse) with the panel just low/out enough for the panel to be clear of the other vertical strut. Then gradually push the panel up from below while the top person guides (sometimes with some pressure) the panel into the second upright. Once in both sides, push up as far as possible and fit the horizontal retaining bar across the bottom of the panel. For top panel the tricky bit is the overlap with the bottom panel as it’s quite a tight fit into the strut/groove. I found fitting the first side easier with the free side lifted up a little. Reach over and force the overlap into its groove. Then fit the free side much the same as for the bottom panel.For the final two sections (mid-side squares) slot the top piece a little way in then make the overlap with the bottom panel (ie below roof level, not in the grooves yet) and push them up together. Fairly straightforward.I would definitely recommend this product but wish I’d had these instructions (and a bigger ladder!) first to make it actually quite readily achievable.

Easy to set up, sturdy, exactly as per description. Stays strong during the storm

*Edit*we've had this up for a few weeks now and it's honestly the best thing ever, we've already had family over, neighbours and our first BBQ of the year and everyone kept commenting on how amazing it is.It's absolutely solidNothing needed readjustingWe bolted the feet down onto slabs and then covered with shingle and the thing doesn't move a muscle, you won't be disappointed*This is an amazing product and I love the finished result, the frame and roof struts were pretty straight forward but OMG the roof panels!Me n my husband managed it between two of us but they are ridiculous to put togetherI read other reviews that said the same or said don't follow the instructionsWe tried putting the smaller top section in first then the bottom, then we tried it the other way around (as per the instructions) bottom section in first then smaller top section after and honestly we found it better the second way, which is how the Instructions sayMy main tips are when doing the middle rectangular pieces, slide then in together at the same timeAnd when doing the triangles, slide the angular side and line that up first then try get the straight side inGood luck it's not for the faint heartedBut other than that I love it, the neighbours are coming over shortly to try it out 😂

As others have said, the roof is definitely the fiddly part. Instructions are well laid out, and the base is straightforward. When you get to the roof, leave the middle rectangular sections till the end - you'll need to be able to stick your head and arms through to get the triangular roof sections in. With the triangular sections, I found it was much easier to fit the hypotenuse first, then the straight edge - much quicker. We took about 8 hours - and most of that was due to the 6'2" person not liking ladders, and the 5'7" needing a bigger ladder, but eventually getting it done - it would be much easier with 3 people

Make sure you check contents before start building. We had to have box 1of2 completely replaced owing to bits missing. Frame work is easy. The roof panels are an absolute nightmare.About 2 hrs to erect frame and 6hrs to erect roof.Once completed seems very good.

Construction was easy, but clearer info about the roof sheets would help

Do not order the grey one if you want a grey gazebo. Except the curtains the whole gazebo is brown! Terrible service as well.

We thought it easy to put up the gazebo it took two of us a day, with no real problems, I went online YouTube and watched the Outsuny video and just followed it step by step.
