The instructions were a little shaky but not too bad. There was one spot where I couldn’t secure a roof panel down completely because the bolt hole was untapped (no threads to screw into). My main problem with this gazebo is what to do when it’s windy. I had the curtains closed and with a little bit of wind the straps ripped right off. I guess I either leave the curtains open and let the rain soak all my furniture or find some kind of weight to hold the curtains in place.
