I assembled this Gazebo over 3 days, roughly 10 hours by myself. There were a few challenges not having a second set of hands but nothing too bad. I also took it very slow to be sure everything was lined up to make roof easier to finish.
The one issue I had was panel Q3 had a hole that was off by about an inch. All other holes on that roof panel lined up just fine but final center bolt didnt. I was able to drill a new hole in the main frame just above intended (threaded) location that the bolt grabbed into just fine. All outside edges were lined up and smooth afterwards so it worked out.
A few tips /
As roof panels are being slid into place use some of the long bolts hung through holes to hold them up / its really the only way to do this as a one/man job
Dont tighten anything on the roof until all panels are up. It takes a little longer to do this way but will most likely save you the frustration of the roof not fitting together right the first time.
Lastly, use a drill with low speed to tighten bolts / but be sure to use proper torque setting.
Will update review after some weather comes in, hopefully it will hold up fine. As far as shipping, packing, and assembling goes its a great product. Seem like its a little flimsy and light at first impression, but as it assembles it becomes very rigid. Would recommend!
A few minor issues but great value, seems sturdy!
