SUNJOY 12 x 16 ft. Wood Gazebo, Outdoor Patio Cedar Framed Steel Hardtop Gazebo with 2-Tier Metal Roof, Suitable for Patios, Lawn and Backyard, Matte Black Roof + Gray Wood Frame

We got the 12" X 16" version of this gazebo and could not be happier. This is a lot of gazebo for the money. We got it because we saw an ad from a big box membership store that starts with C and thought it was a good idea. The other one was 12" X 12" and several hundred dollars more. Made this an easy choice. The instructions have no text, but the pictures are complete and easy to follow. My wife and I (in our 60s) put this up in 2 days by ourselves. It is very sturdy and well designed. We found we were short a few bolts at the end, but then discovered a bag labeled "extras". And sure enough, it has a few extra screws and bolts "just in case". As I said - my wife is over the moon. Oh yeah - we were torn between an all metal gazebo and this wood one. The metal one was a lot cheaper, but we are really glad we got the wood. It is super strong and beautiful.. some reviews of the metal one said the pieces bend easily. I assure you, you will not bend the pieces of this one!

We just finished putting this together and are very happy with the quality of the gazebo. It’s very sturdy once completely assembled. We had a little delay with shipping because our phone number was never provided to the warehouse so I had track it down and call them but they did deliver it the next day. I highly recommend having at least two people assemble this. Everything was labeled clearly and all the screw holes lined up perfectly but when it came time to lift the wooden frame, the product is very unsteady until all the framing is connected and with only two of us, it almost fell and could have easily split the wood. The directions are very easy to follow and again everything was labeled perfectly and slid right into place. It took 2 of us a weekend to put it together but we’re very happy with the finished product. I would highly recommend this gazebo.

Overall I was pleased. This was the 12x20ft model. Very attractive gazebo. All parts fit together relatively easily. Directions included no written, only illustrations, but all parts were very clearly labeled and I was able to assemble in 2 days by myself. I opted to assemble with no additional helpers(they recommend 4 people). I used step ladders, etc to prop things up while working. Having a day without much wind helped. My only complaint is that I did not like the plastic clips/inserts to hold the top of the larger roof panels.(see 4th photo) I live in Florida and I see those as the weakest part of the design as it relates to storms/wind. I will probably attempt to find some screws to replace those clips. Everything else seems pretty solid.

Great Product. Well made. Lots of Pieces & Parts but not hard to put together, just be patient. I needed 2 additional people to support the posts when standing them up then I did the rest myself. Everything was included, well labeled & packaged. Don't be tempted to tighten everything as you go. Most holes are slotted to allow for adjustment. If you tighten too soon you may end up having to loosen parts in order to make adjustments. This is especially true for the roof panels. I would highly recommend this 12 x 16 Gazebo.

Looks great, assembly was easy, 2-4 people needed when assembling the pillars and securing the main roof frame. Quality product.

Easy to assemble with a crew of people

Several pieces are damaged.

Product was very delayed in arriving. It took 2 weeks longer than it was scheduled. It went through 3 shipping companies before we finally got it. Delayed twice. All 3 companies couldn’t explain why it was so late. Allow2-3 days to assemble. Not as heavy as we thought it would be. Must be anchored down. Post are hollow, not solid cedar. Doesn’t come with shade or curtain.
