Outsunny 3 x 3(m) Metal Pergola with Retractable Roof, Garden Gazebo Metal Pergola Canopy. Outdoor Sun Shade Shelter for Party BBQ, Beige

When it arrived it was packaged very well, with lots of bubble wrap and stuff to stop things being scratched. All the parts were labelled and bagged up with like A1, B1, B2, etc. The instructions were all pictoral but if you took the time to match up what you saw with your labelled parts, it was straight forward. It took us the best part of a day to assemble working at a unhurried pace but we were bolting it to the ground. So it took extra time to mark and drill the right holes. It is supplied with both foot pegs and bolts.Once assembled it’s very solid and has a quality feel, even though it was cheaper than the B&Q version. In regards to the measurements, the 3m is from the end of one overhang to the other. The distance from the outer edge of one foot to the other is 2.67m. Inside post to opposite inside post 2.42m, which is what you’ll get as awning cover.

This is a brilliant addition to our garden it looks fantastic, super sturdy but absolutely needs 2 people to put it togetherThe instructions aren't overly clear but when you take time to look at it you'll work it outSize is perfect for our decking area but check your measurementsThe canopy is waterproof, but has breather holes so just ensure you're not sitting under one.

Pleased with quality and easy to assemble good value for money

Although it was a little tricky to put up and definitely needs 2 strongish people the end product is really great. We ended up using the (supplied) base plates with bolts drilled into slabs, but we did have to buy longer bolts than the ones suppled. But really this product is ideal, it looks great and I love the way the awning can be left open or closed. It has helped create a really cosy seating/dining area at the top of the garden. Very happy with this, I imagine it will last a long time.

I like the finished gazebo. But it took several hours to put it together. There are a lot of pieces. Over 200 inc the nuts and washers. So be ready to be patient. It’s worth the effort though.

Don't buy this pergola. This item isn't a prime and is from outside Europe! If your item is broken or doesn't work etc you have to cover all payments with shipping which is extortion due to heavy duty item . Totally scam !

The pergola is just as seen on amazon. The frame is of sturdy metal construction with a form of powder-coat finish. If you follow the instructions carefully it is simple to construct and erect, but final assembly is a two-person job.I suggest setting out the shape in your garden to make sure it will fit where you intend to erect it before ordering.Ours is sited on a paved patio and has been bolted down - expanding raw-bolts are included in the package which is useful. I'm not sure how secure the assembly would be in windy conditions if only held down by the metal 'tent pegs' also provided, so think carefully before ordering if this is where you intend to put it. Two further good points: The canopy can be removed like taking down a shower curtain, so that it can be stored during the winter, and, the canopy is 100% polyester and is machine washable if required.It would be possible to disassemble the whole frame if necessary [moving house?], but the structure is intended to remain outside as a permanent fixture and appears to be quite durable as long as it is securely anchored.

After having a cheaper 'gazebo' blow down in a storm after forgetting to punch holes in the roof I decided to go for one of these hoping it will be more sturdy.Just finished putting it up today and it is fantastic. So well made and rock solid, and the canopy has drainage holes in which means it should be rain resistant and I like how the canopy can be drawn over and back. We started with two of us putting it up but we did need a third pair of hands for a short while when we were constructing the main structure.The only thing that stops a 5 star is the instruction documentation which is difficult to follow and the diagrams are too small. More work needed for this Outsunny, have alook at an Ikea set of instructions!!Will try and remember to do an update once it has been outside a while and weathered
