Heavy-Duty 12 x 14 Outdoor Hardtop Gazebo with Permanent Sun Shade Canopy - Perfect for Backyard Decks and Patios - Purple Leaf

B. BarraB. Barra: I did alot of research and reading reviews before settling on the Purple Leaf 12x10 Gazebo and I couldn't be happier with the end result. It came in 5 separate boxes each labeled with a number from 1-5 so you know you had each one. Everything was well packed and the boxes were free from damage. Every part was clearly labeled and I mean EVERY part which made assembly much easier. The owners manual had clear pictures of the assembly process and at no point was I ever unsure of what to do. There are no written instructions but the pictures are all that you need. The instructions say you need at least 2 people and I agree. I was able to do it myself taking about 7 days at 2 hrs per day. The roof beams are definitely where a second person helps. Once assembled the quality amazes me, everything is nicely powder coated and textured looking like its built to last. The best part of the experience was easily the customer service. I'm 50 years old and of all the things I've purchased in my life I cant remember having this level of service. They reached out to me immediately after buying the gazebo and almost every day thereafter until it was assembled. There were two minor imperfection on...

John: We received our 12x16 is six different packages on time. The boxes came with no significant damaged and none of our parts had any damage. Every thing was packaged and labeled nicely. The product has a nice Finnish to it and we were impressed with how well it looked. Me and my wife assemble the entire units ourself with no extra help. The main structure and roof we assembled in approx 5 hours. She did have to stand on a 6ft ladder and hold the center roof assembly while I started the bolts and assembled the other few arms that hold the upper roof. We waited until next day to install the finishing touches. The curtains, screens, and then went back and tightened all the bolts we had left loosed during assembly including the roof panel bolts. We centered and square the gazebo and anchor to our concrete patio all together that took about another 1.5 hours. This can easy be assembled in a day with 2 people. We are extremely please with this product. Only thing I don’t really like was I did not use the anchor bolts that came with it. There was no drill bit for these anchors and no clear instructions as to what size hole to drill. The instruction said it was a 1/4” anchor but after...

David J. Lauridsen Jr.David J. Lauridsen Jr.: The media could not be loaded.  This took me quite a while to get fully assembled as I was dependent on the assistance of some friends that could only provide a couple of hours of help at a time. I'd estimate you can probably get this done(-ish) in a single weekend if you have 3 people, good weather, and 2-2.5 (6+ hour) days . Here are my thoughts and suggestions/tips for buyers and the manufacturer:

Pros:

- The parts were well packaged and came in 7 boxes. The minor damage I saw on a couple boxes didn't seem to affect the parts inside. (There were a couple minor bends in some rails but that may have occurred before shipping. These were easily remedied with some needle-nosed pliers.) The parts were well labelled with a few minor exceptions.

- The 12'x20' gazebo is a great size for our deck and provides plenty of shaded room for a 6 person table and chairs plus plenty of room left over. I

- I like that there is both mosquito netting and privacy/wind curtains. FYI, I don't think this will be 100% mosquito proof but it should help keep the numbers down a bit. (The netted panels at the top leave some pretty large gaps, but if you really wanted you...
