H. Potter GAR141 Grand Gazebo


DO NOT BUY!!!1

I would not advise purchasing this gazebo. The first gazebo we purchased rusted & peeled within 2 years. The replacement gazebo rusted & peeled within the first year. After it rusted & peeled the second time we were offered another replacement. We refused. After putting up & taking down two gazebos enough is enough.



Landscaping was done around the gazebo so now we have to find a suitable size replacement or redo the landscaping. It's a shame because the gazebo color & design looked great in our backyard. This obviously hasn't been a very good experience.More detail ...

Outdoor Patio Smith & Hawken Windsor Brown Metal Pergola


Very solid but...4

We ordered the pergola from Amazon (via Target) and it came in an extremely heavy (170-lb) box. The shipper promised that the delivery folks would carry it up a few flights of stairs (my wife was pregnant and couldn't handle it). When the truck got here the driver refused to carry it past the curb which caused all sorts of problems. SO.. beware of Target's shipper -- they'll charge you almost $200 to bring it to your door but that's as far as they'll go. And of course Target is no help whatsoever; their customer service is laughable.



As for the pergola... it's terrific. Solid build quality fairly easy to put together (it takes about 3-4 hours) and very stable. We're looking forward to using it all summer and have already noticed how much cooler it is under the canopy than under direct sun. It looks great it performs well... and the price is right particularly in comparison to some of the other options.



But again -- watch out for Target's shipper DB Schenker. They're much more interested in your money than in actual service.More detail ...

3-Sided Garden Arch


BEST ON-LINE PURCHASE I EVER MADE - THANKS AMAZON!4

It took only 2 hours to put it together & set it in place. Before purchasing it I read other reviews & was better prepared for the installation. I dug a 6" deep by 5'wide circle into the ground & bent little feet on each post which were secured by U-shaped wire stakes into the ground before refilling with soil. The metal is light weight & this would prevent any shifting from wind & weather. I'm VERY happy with this product & can't wait for next spring to see the clematis rise & all the bulb plants pop-up around the birdbath that sits in the middle. The only extra tool you need to put this together is PATIENCE.More detail ...

Outdoor Patio Home Havenbury Gazebo - 10x10'


Nice Gazebo4

This is a nice sturdy gazebo it comes with lot of parts but don't let that scare you. It took me and my wife about an hour to assemble most of the gazebo and then we had to have two other people assist us to erect all four post and join them together. Once all the posts were upright things went smooth until we had to put the canopy on the frame.



This is not a great process here you assemble the canopy frame and then put the canopy cover on the frame and then put the whole thing on the gazebo and bolt it down. There is no good way to do this as the gazebo height at the top center is like 10'. So we tried to put it on the frame while it was in place on the gazebo and we could not get it to work. We took the canopy frame off and then mounted the canopy cover and then four of us lifted it into position and bolted it down. This was not easy but we got it done and it is great now that we can enjoy it.



All the parts were there and they included a few spare parts all we needed was a few sockets a drill for the sockets a couple of ladders and the included wrench.



I have been trying to get an additional canopy top from the manufacturer (Sunjoy) and will have to see how that goes. The sun and wind here in Dallas means that a canopy cover only last about one season.



Any way a very nice product so far.

Outdoor Patio Tivoli 10x10' Garden Gazebo


Common sense must prevail4

It seems that most of the people who have had trouble with this gazebo erected them in the yard. This gazebo has to be constrcted on a wooden deck with perhaps some additional metal support harware added. It's very attractive (I have two) and works out just fine on my deck where it is surrounded by the deck's hand rails. The main supports are attached to the rails of my deck and bolted to the wooden floor. This makes it a lot more sturdy. These things will blow around the yard all day long. They can't be set up on grass as a stand-alone structure.More detail ...
