Kozyard Alexander 10' x 12' Hardtop Gazebo, Aluminum Frame with Galvanized Steel Double Roof, Outdoor Permanent Pavilion with Curtains and Netting for Patio, Backyard, Deck, Lawn (Gray)

Let me start this with it has taken me about a year to get started on this great project, as no fault of product or delivery this crated package has been sitting in the garage since the outbreak of COVID-19 and had to patiently wait in it's boxes until help was available. Now with that said, the Total time this took to assemble was about 9 hours in 2 different afternoon's, not because it's difficult to assemble or any problem with instruction booklet which was referred to quite often as the build was being done, but as we fit and unpacked the quality parts and finding what went next. The packaging's are remarkably secured within the shipping containers (good thing) but somehow one of the roof panel rafters had a scar on a part that shows beneath the roof and one of the gutters had a small depression at one end, neither of these caused any issue and I will touch up the bare aluminum come spring. So the Pros are, easy to assemble with 2 person's having some knowledge of construction. The quality of the structural piece's are top rated. The alignment of the parts are surprisingly great (I only found 5 of the holes that did not align perfectly and had to spin the screw through the misaligned holes to make them work fine. I did have one blind hole that was stripped before assembly but with a shim in the hole in took the screw and tightened correctly. The finish of all the materials are professional and rich looking, this unit comes with insect netting and privacy/sunshade curtain's (that will be installed coming spring) The anchor plates on each leg are sturdy and broad and can be trusted to withstand mild winds in a free standing garden area. The customer service is Great although I did not need to contact them they was eager to contact me via Amazon message to give me a reassurance that they are ready to help with any issues. Now for the Cons which are very minimal in my review, those piece's are very sharp in some of the corners and hand protection is suggested throughout the Manuel which is nicely printed, the clips that seal the roof panel into the channels are time consuming but effective to install, there are "million's" (not really) of screws that are hard to hold onto with arthritic hands LOL (glad there are extras) however the tool's that come with this unit (are recommended not to use unless you haven't any other) will make this project a complete summer project to complet. Scenario if you use a drill driver take caution to not over tighten any fasteners and leave the panels and assembly loosened enough to adjust throughout the build and then go back and torque everything to a light torque setting. Final thoughts, this seems to be a quality structure that should last for many years and I would purchase this companies brand again if ever needed, so yes I can recommend this to my family and friends to make this their own Gazebo. Pictured after the first afternoon and then the completed project on the second afternoon built/assembled on a 12 foot square wooden frame deck of 2 x 6 treated and 5/4 decking.

We wanted a cover for our deck so we could enjoy eating more often outdoors and to enjoy a nice evening thunder storm. This Gazebo fit our deck almost to the inch, perfect fit. It was easy to schedule the delivery, they put the 5 boxes it comes in exactly where we asked them. The fun part was assembling, which took a few weekend to finish. I had watched a video online for an older version of this gazebo and it looked pretty simple. Most of it can be put up with one person assembling, but there are a few parts that require the help of another person. The base part was simple, all parts fit perfect, screws went in easily, no bad parts and didn't have to struggle to make things fit together. The directions were mostly understandable, only a few parts were confusing, especially when we got to putting on the roof parts. Sometimes it is easier to leave the screws loose until you get each step completed, and then tighten them. The assembly of the roof was the hardest and most time consuming. The top-top roof was difficult to put on the roof panels as the edge clips that you have to put on each panel kept coming off when pushing them into place. I found a tip later in the instructions to use the two-sided tape to hold these in place for the lower roof panels, would have been nice to have that tip earlier. The framing went pretty easily. Putting on the roof panels was the hardest. Make sure everything is square, do not tighten the screws so you can jimmy the sheets around so the holes line up. I had a few where a screwdriver was used in a few screw holes to shift the panels so the screws holes would line up. It was an adventurous assembly, and sometimes frightening, but overall it wasn't too hard to do. Prior reviews gave a lot of tips that Kozyard seems to have addressed as those tips were not needed. It is super sturdy and solid. I really enjoyed the experience and look forward to enjoying the outdoors a little more. Very happy with this purchase and would recommend to those that are looking for something similar.

Sturdy structure. 12x10 is a perfect size. Construction was slightly difficult. Following directions is important. Must work slowly and methodically. Patience is required. This gazebo compliments any deck or patio. Very happy with this purchase.

Prend du temps a assembler et préférable d'être habile manuellement

The predrilled holes are not very accurate, especially in the roof. It is so bad that the screws are unable to fit, so the roof is still unfinished. I’m not sure what I can do to fix this.
