This is a really beautiful gazebo. Putting it together will take for me about 8 to 12 hrs. Its not hard but it is tedious and will require 2 people for a good amount of it. I wouldnt suggest 1 person tackle this project unless they have done 1 before because it takes forever. It does help to have it anchored down after its all finished. Some gazebos dont include mosquito nets and curtains but this does.
