EAGLE PEAK 13‘x15‘ Hardtop Gazebo, Double Metal Roof with Cedar Wood Frame, Outdoor Pavilion with Netting and Curtains

My new gazebo is great! I hired two men to put it together, it took them about 7 hours. They had to get some additional rivets but it came out perfect. Very happy with my purchase.

During building this I was happy with the build quality of the 13x15 Gazebo. I wish their was a option with the aluminum frame, but this was nice. This did take about 8 to 10 hours to assemble with just myself (did need my wife to hold a post up as I put the shorter side header on). One suggestion I would make if you are looking at assembling this yourself is to assemble the smaller secondary roof on top of the main roof on piece at a time. Without 3 or 4 individuals to help hold and screw it together, it is near impossible to do otherwise. The only reason I give this 4 stars is because as I was pre-sealing the posts and headers, I noticed that the package I got, someone else tried to assemble it, but gave up and sent it back. At that point I felt it was too late to return as I had already sealed several pieces. Wish I knew it was a scratch and dent special without the scratch and dent price.

Quick shipment. Gazebo comes in 5 boxes. All pieces are clearly marked. Took about 50 hours to assembly. Added help decreases time. You will need 3 to 4 people for one step. Advice before you start give some thought on where the gazebo is going. Also check on building codes. Package includes 16 spikes. I know i was anchoring to a deck and wanted heavy deck anchoring bolts. So before you start you might want to take a side beam lower connector to a local hardware store to make sure your bolts will fit. Have had email communications with the maker. They have been quick to answer my questions. The curtain is for privacy only. Maker recommends taking netting and curtain down at the end of the season. This curtain would NOT hold up in a midwest winter. Wanting additional storage given what your going to use the gazebo for. You might want a heavy winter curtain. This maker does not offer heaver curtains. But a search engine look up can be done. Other gazebo makers exist. This is a solid gazebo for the price you pay. This gazebo turned out great. Looking forward to many hours/years of relaxation in the gazebo.
