We assembled our gazebo about a month ago, and absolutely love it! It is a wonderful addition to our backyard, and makes our pool area look so inviting. My husband and I assembled the majority of the structure, and then we had help from a few family members to position and attach the roof. This step will definitely require at least 4 people. We found the directions to be well written and easy to follow. Don't skim through though. Details are important! I sorted and labeled all of the hardware so that we wouldn't have any problems using the correct parts. That was a big help. We are impressed with the quality of this product, and did not find one damaged or missing part. The helpful hints videos by Yardistry and other customers were definitely a big help too. This project took us about 2-1/2 days. My husband and I agree that it was a great project.
