no more bugs, great view , love it.1. it's adaptable---my deck is 20X14(actual size 13'8'' X19') with a fireplace sticking out in the middle, space is very tight, I had to raise its hight by 7'' to place one front corner on top of the fireplace roof2. Composite deck, DW did not want drilling, I used zip ties for base support, extremely sturdy3. Screened easily with mosquito net ($25 for 10X20 net) , a garage magnetic screen door and one privacy outdoor curtain, total under $704. bought 2X3'' gutters from HD and cut the top middle with 1.5'' opening, supported by overhangs which are supported by wood studs fixated on the pre drilled holes , works great5.Assembling was easy but a lot : you only have 3 major components for framing----5 legs, 2 beams and 8 rafters, you can pre-assemble them inside your garage and then move them to the site. I did most of assembling by self, only needed a bit help for legs' standing up and positioniong6, Make sure G leaking holes facing upside. Initially K2 panels appeared 1/2 '' too long but after some push they fit tight. During downpour, I still have a little leaking, i pulled open the panels again and found out 2 K2 panels are a little short and they can move up/down a bit easily. I am fine with a little leaking , still 5 stars for its value and adaptability7. To the seller: Back legs should have pre-drilled holes for triangles too, I have 2 extra triangles but can't attach them to the back legs that would add stability without increasing one penny cost8. the roof is paper light , you must have hard base for anchoring/support, this is purely customers' responsibility. If you really want the gazebo to be free standing, buy a 3rd leg( not sure you can) for the back side or 4X4X8 post from HD and bolt it to the back beam middle point ( 4 predrilled holes there ), the cost would be $15

Very good quality materials. Fast delivery. It was time consuming to put together, but the directions were easy to follow. It took about 4 hours to complete with myself and 2 easily distracted teenagers.We had 30 mph winds the day after we put ours up and it held up well, but I would ABSOLUTELY NOT recommend having this set up without it being anchored in someway as it swayed with the lightest breeze. The base of all five post have four holes that you can attach screws and anchor to your deck. There are also three options on the tall side where you can anchor it to a structure easily.Due to the placement of the back door and windows on our back deck, we needed a little more height so we had a 4x6 post cut at Home Depot to 6 1/2 inches long, spray painted them the same color as the frame, and anchored them to the deck, and the screwed the base of the poles to the blocks. It is extremely sturdy.The taller side against the house only had two poles versus the three poles on the shorter side which did cause a very little bit of sagging in the middle of the tall side for the 10x14 we purchased. However, this was easily corrected Once we use the included anchor and attached it above our windows.I have had rain since we put it up and it has been completely waterproof.I am 100% satisfied with this purchase, and think the price point is perfect.

I am writing this review for the 10x14 model. Over all it looks okay, doesn’t shade as much as I had hoped but again okay. Assembly wasn’t hard, did it by myself with a ladder and a DeWalt cordless drill set on low torque. I will share some things I learned along the way. I wanted this to fit under my eve's' so I had to cut about 3 inches off the legs. I used a chop saw and a drill press to accomplish this. About the assembly itself; DON’T LOSE ANY BOLTS OR NUTS; they didn’t give any extras of anything. This would have been nice, since a couple of the nuts were missing threads. Luckily I had some nuts that fit. The bolts are cheap, heads strip easily (even by hand). When mine was manufactured the quality control person must have been on break or didn’t care. There were a lot of “punch” tabs left in the holes and almost all the threaded holes had paint in them, making it hard to put together. After I started checking the holes (before assembly) things went a lot smoother. The frame was easy to construct, the instructions (which is just pictures with few hint words) don’t tell you to leave the bolts for the “arm and beam connecters” (brackets) finger tight. Leaving them finger tight makes installing the pp boards easier, then you can make adjustments to the arms as needed. The next issue is there is a paper in the box with the pp boards that says not to remove the protective film before assembly, which is wrong. I did that for the first 7 pp boards, it was a nightmare to remove the film. Ended up taking the boards back out to get it all off. When installing the second set of pp boards I took the protective film off each before installing. I had to use a couple of putty knives to get the boards in the middle board connector slots. I found using soap & water in a spray bottle let them go together much easier. I may have put them in upside down, don’t really know the instructions only tell you to make sure the “leak” holes are up. I put the wide side up; don’t have any idea of how I would have ever gotten the boards in the slots if I did it the other way. Even after attaching the frame to my porch posts it is still a little wobbly. I didn’t attach the roof to my house, wasn’t willing to drill holes in my siding. The braces that go on the front legs are sufficient, but could have been a little bigger (might have taken some of the wobble out). Also a couple of braces on the back leg might have helped, think I’ll look for something to use for braces. Over all might buy again.1. No written instructions2. Don’t lose parts3. Check for punch tabs and paint on threads4. No back let support if not attached to the house
