We’re so happy with our gazebo! We had someone very experienced in furniture assembly put it together, and it took him almost 4 hours. There were only a few moments when he absolutely needed a second set of hands to help with the assembly. Because we placed the gazebo in a spot with a mixture of rocky ground and concrete, we didn’t bolt it down. We simply sunk the legs in buckets of sand and gravel, and it feels really secure and sturdy. It’s a great place  to spend a little more time outdoors in the pandemic, with a little protection from the weather!
