Garvee 12'x16' All-Weather Hardtop Gazebo - Double Metal Roof & Aluminum Frame with Net & Curtain for Patio, Deck & Backyard (Grey)

This gazebo is nice looking, sturdy and provides the shade I needed. It took my husband and 3 other men 5 hours to assemble . We are enjoying it and would recommend.

This is a very nice gazebo. It took about 12 hrs to build with one other person helping me. It wasn’t hard, just a lot of parts. I had no issue with missing parts and everything fit together really well. The hardest part was the roof, but once we figured out what we were doing, it went smoothly. I highly recommend.

This appears to be a direct OEM version of the much more expensive DOMI brand—the pictures are identical. It seems several sellers offer this same gazebo from a single manufacturer, and at this price point, it’s a fantastic value.The Bad: I would have given it 5 stars, but I explicitly ordered the Grey version. While the box, description, and pictures all indicated a fully grey unit, it arrived entirely black (though the curtains were grey). I suspect they don't actually manufacture a grey frame and just ship the black one with grey curtains. Garvee gave me a partial refund instead of making me return it, which was appreciated, and it still looks good on my 16x20 deck.The Good: This unit is incredibly well-made and thoughtfully designed for assembly. The packaging was top-notch—each set of parts was meticulously foam-wrapped. The manual leaves a few things open to interpretation, but it's manageable.DIY Tips for Assembly:Time: It took me about 10 hours to build solo. I only needed a second set of hands a couple of times for the larger sections, so it's definitely a doable DIY project if you have patience and basic skills.Tools: Do yourself a favor and use a drill with a socket adapter for the nuts instead of the included Allen wrench, which would take ages. However, keep the Allen wrench handy for a few tight spots on the roof.Roof Corner Trick: When installing the corner roof panels, use painters tape to hold them in place while lining them up. Also, don't try to slide them into the slots; just put the plastic holding brackets on the panel and push them directly into the slots. It's a bit tricky at first, but they are really just meant for initial support.Overall, highly recommended! Just be prepared that "Grey" might actually mean "Black with grey curtains.

Loving our new outdoor space. Fairly easy to put up just if you live in a hot area. Wait until the shade's there cuz metal heats up fast! 🤣
