Aoxun 8'x8' Hardtop Gazebo with Polycarbonate Double Roof, Brown

My neighbor has one just like this, and we really love the features so we got our own! So far, we would like to level our patio area and wait for good weather, so I haven't put it outside yet. I will update my review once it is all set up. However, I've assembled many Amazon furniture like this, and this has very clear instructions in comparison to others. A complete book with step by step instructions and all parts are clearly labeled with numbers and letter that correspond with the diagrams in the manual. The instructions even have color pictures/ diagrams which makes such a difference. Everything in the boxes is securely packaged and were not damaged. Comes with several extra parts just in case (labeled extra parts). And everything is pretty much in order so you don't have to go digging in the box. This is delivered in two big and heavy boxes, so I suggest making sure you are home when delivered and get someone to help carry. Individual pieces are lightweight but very sturdy. Needs at least two people to set up, but instructions suggest four people. Only basic tools are required. The only power tool is a drill or electric screw driver. I would recommend this because there are a lot of screws, so a drill will make it a lot faster. Required tools shown in my video. The size is 10 by 12 and takes up exactly that much space on the ground. I love that this comes with the curtains and screen curtains on all four sides. This makes it truly functional in almost all weather. It gets pretty buggy in my area, so the screen keeps them all out while letting the sunshine in. I can also pull the outer curtains shut for shade or to keep rain/ snow etc. out and protect patio furniture. Both layers have zippers that can completely close the space all the way around. It's truly versatile and stylish.

I’m really glad I bought this gazebo. I looked at a lot of different ones before choosing this one, and for the price, this was definitely the best value. The size is perfect for our patio—big enough for outdoor furniture and still leaves plenty of space around it. Once it was set up, it made the whole backyard feel like a new space. Everything arrived in good condition with no missing parts, which was a big relief. All the holes lined up well and the pieces fit together like they should, so alignment was not an issue at all. Assembly took some time, but it was pretty straightforward. The instructions were easy enough to follow, and having a second person made it much easier. Once built, it feels solid and stable. The frame doesn’t feel flimsy, and overall sturdiness is better than I expected for this price range. Even with some wind, it feels secure when properly anchored. One of my favorite parts is the screen curtains. They do a great job keeping mosquitoes and bugs out, which makes sitting outside in the evening much more enjoyable. The regular curtains are also nice for extra shade and privacy. I’m very happy with this purchase. Good size, easy assembly, sturdy construction, no missing parts, and great value for the money. I’d definitely recommend it.

We bought this gazebo to use in Ohio and used it all last summer and fall. Love the two layers of wall panels that are designed to surround the structure: one is mesh and the other solid fabric. The panels are well made and durable. It was easy to set up, but not fast-- lots of pieces! The instructions were reasonably clear and with two people it was a very manageable process. I was concerned from the start about how it would handle the winter since it's clearly not made to be disassembled in the off-season. At first I was very pleasantly surprised because even in 20-30 mph wind and with the weight of several inches of snow, it held up. The problem arose when a windstorm came through with gusts over 40 mph. The top could not take the strain and several pieces blew out. We rounded up as many pieces as we could find, but we lost a few polycarbonate panels and a couple of the metal supports that hold the panels in place. I reached out to the company by phone and by email to get replacement pieces . Although they responded to my first email asking for more information, once I provided the information I didn't hear from them again despite what several follow-ups on my part. Ultimately it turned out to be easy to find replacement polycarbonate at home Depot. But the replacement metal pieces were much more challenging. I ended up having a local metal shop try to fabricate pieces that would work. One other issue you should be aware of if you're looking to buy this structure. The polycarbonate panels are tinted to block out sun. It blocks the direct sunlight, but it tends to feels like a greenhouse. So in hot areas (80+), it's not comfortable to be under while the sun is shining on it. Although the greenhouse affect is a bummer, if there were any customer service at all I would still give this a 4-star rating for the great design, attractiveness and durability; but the lack of availability of company support to deal with replacement parts is a big negative. Hope this is helpful to anyone looking to buy.

Overall, we are very happy with this gazebo. It is a budget gazebo (I don't mean that as an insult, it just is.). It's made of aluminum and the parts are easily bent if not careful, but once assembled it's very sturdy and good looking too. It assembled easily enough (I built it alone but really could have used another person for some of it, so if you are not handy and creative in finding solutions, it will be a challenge). It comes with a nicely done 31 page step-by-step assembly book, all of it is visual with little text, very good in 90% of it. Also, I did find a fairly helpful video that someone posted on YouTube. We live near the ocean and get a strong breeze almost nightly, the gazebo handles it very well. But, it must be secured to the ground. Two minor complaints: 1) The plastic curtain rings are flimsy and I don't think they will hold up for long. 2) The stakes that are used to secure it to the ground are way to short to be of any use unless you have hard clay soil. Do as the instructions suggest and start with a parts inventory. This is one of those projects where if you get halfway through and are missing something, you'll have to stop to order the part, and because it ships from overseas you'll have to wait 2-3 weeks for that part. By the way, their customer service is outstanding! They respond quickly and are very helpful. For the manufacturer: Step 23 (the ridge cap) should moved to before Step 21 OR the part should be redesigned to better align with the holes. The way it is now, you have to reach over already installed roof panels and it was a dog to do. Even with 2 people it would be hard to do.

Now I'm not going to sugar coat it but when I received this product it was missing some of the components needed to build the roof. However the support team from the company was extremely helpful and was able to send me the missing components quickly and efficiently. After assembly was complete the Gazebo looked great, is sturdy, and is very effective at keeping bugs out even down south where you get swarmed all summer.

I order the gazebo to replace the old pergola wood patio over I had. I had looked at completely redoing my wood and my son had purchased a patio gazebo and I liked it. I did some looking and searching and chose this one from Amazon after reading the reviews. When the unit arrived and was only 3 boxes for the gazebo roofing and curtains I was concerned. I opened the boxes one by and layed my parts out checking them off against the parts list and everything was there. After that I decided to start prepping things to get a start on the assembly for the next day and following the instructions I had the frame assembled and standing on my patio in 2 hours without any problems and was impressed be the easy assembly. The next day my son came by and we finished assembling the roof and installing the curtains in another couple hours. After some squaring and minor tweaking the slotted holes are nice to allow squaring things up. One last tightening of the hardware and we were done. I am very happy and pleased with this purchase and highly reccomend this unit. I am writing my review sitting under it now having my morning coffee watching the day in my backyard.

Bought the 10' x 12' with the polycarbonate top a couple of months ago, got around to putting it together this past weekend. I'll start with this, the designer, engineers and the manufacturer are very good. As many parts as there are, building it was pretty simple. At first I didn't like the instructions but they turned out to be pretty good. I can't imagine directions that were written, the pictures were adequate. Here's some tips: Be VERY sure you have the posts squared before you start. Crooked at the bottom, crooked at the top. Don't overtighten screws during assembly. Hand tighten so you can get parts in line as you go. This helps especially when you get to the roof panels. Once you've got it together you go back and tighten. Use a drill with a bit, I had mine set on 8 out of 20. When you're doing the roof, take your time, make sure the panels are in the slots properly. There were no missing parts which is remarkable. Only had one panel with a very small hole which was not a problem. This pergola is not going to last 20 years, its not built for that, the good news is didn't cost as much as one that would. Overall I'm pleased, especially for the price. If you're in a high wind prone area, this is not for you. Ours is set up where it reasonable protected but I may add a couple of corner braces to the ground for a little extra protection I would probably buy the one with the metal panel roof if I had it to do again but I'm happy and it looks great

I ordered this gazebo kit for our family park on our property in bug country Texas. I received the three large boxes a day apart from each other. I opened 1 of 3 first and found the hardware packages, packing list for the contents of box 1 of 3 and instruction manual. The packaging of so many parts in two of the three boxes was impressive. I liked that minimal Styrofoam was used in the packaging. The parts were packed extremely well in the kit I received. The pieces of the whole kit are made from thin flimsy metal, but I figured it would be for the price. The instructions are made up of a series of clear pictures with limited written instructions, I mean extremely limited, almost none. But they allowed me to get it put together and up with the help of one of my sons. It took me and my son about nine hours the first day and I finished it by myself the next day with about seven more hours of parts fitting. The kit got more and more rigid with every piece we bolted together. There were a few dings on a few of the pieces but nothing I couldn't straighten out to get the pieces to fit together correctly. I didn't have a single issue with any of the tapped pieces, which is saying something because there are a lot of piece in this kit. I put this gazebo together on a 20 by 12 foot concrete slab and it fit nicely. Let's just say once the whole kit was assembled I felt confident of two things. First, I won't be using this gazebo to do chin-ups because I don't believe it would hold my fat a$&. And second, it was steady enough to withstand heavy winds once I bolted to the concrete. I was originally going to build a pavilion from timber but saw this kit was on sale for less than it would have cost me to screen in and roof a timber built pavilion. The full wrap around screen and clothes walls are nice for the price. We will see how long it lasts in this Texas heat. This gazebo kit is exactly what you would expect for this price point. It's a gazebo made from thin metal bolted together to be just strong enough to be serviceable. The description is spot on and the finished product looks nice.

Prend 8-10 hr seul à assembler

Toit en polycarbonate risque de marquer par la grêle et le verglas

Love it so nice. And good quantity. Would recommend. It wasn't easy to set up. But got up

Es muy bonito, se ve elegante, estoy fascinada con el resultado, me tomó dos tardes completas armarlo pero valió la pena, llegó a tiempo, el material se siente resistente y todo viene bien separado para que sea más sencillo armarlo.

Piece of crap ...the top is NOT A HARDTOP... It's flimsy greenhouse material that falls out during wind... Not a winterized structure... Paid over $800 for something that doesn't even look like the picture or what was expected... I requested a refund unfortunately they won't refund my money... Piece of crap don't waste your money because the won't do crap for you... WASTE OF MONEY
