Prairie Grass 8 x 8 ft. Gazebo Canopy

I used this one on my smaller deck with my hot tub, to be able to sit in there at night and not eaten up by mosquitos. Assembly was easy and quick, around 10min and the gazebo was standing perfectly. It does not come with moquito netting, which I bought extra. I screwed the gazebo to my deck which works out great. We had a severe thunderstorm 2 weeks ago, I lost several trees in my backyard but the gazebo was still standing.The quality is ok, not outstanding, but you get what you pay for. The quality of the roof fabric is standard and ok. Nothing I have to worrie about.

Very easy to assemble. Need at least two people. High-quality. Very good looking. I’ve bought gazebos before and I would buy this one again. Does start rusting quickly (less than a month) but that doesn’t bother me. It’s not powder-coated metal. So glad to have the 9x9 available for my deck.

Update - After the one rain, every seam on this thing is rusting....it already spread a half in in all directions, so guess I'll have to repaint with rustoleum!!Frame was easy to assemble, and the entire process only took about an hour. Much better than previous gazebos we've had that cost more! We just had a severe storm, with high winds and hail, and it stayed put on our elevated deck. Very impressed so far.Update - Two days after the storm (only rain in a month) and every joint and seam is rusting badly. Needs to be entirely repainted with rustoleum!

So I ordered this gazebo and it was received rather quickly. A few caveats that may or may not be mentioned/clarified. This gazebo does NOT come with netting and finding the netting for the gazebo can present an issue. Also this gazebo is not stand-alone. It will need to be spiked down (spikes provided), but if you're like me and have a concrete patio, then this can present a problem (so we used heavy weight/sand bags). The gazebo is pretty easy to assemble and but it would help if you had 3 people to help so when you have to maneuver and lay the gazebo on its side to attach the covering. The covering is also very tight, so it will seem as if it will barely fit. However a little power and elbow grease can get it. Also some of the holes that you insert the poles into may be slightly bent, so have a strong tool to open them up. However this is a great inexpensive buy (compared to others) and it will do great with your home.

This is a good product. Be sure to secure it to the ground (i.e. screw/nail to wood deck). We've had several storms in Texas with very strong winds and it is still standing. It has not blown away. It looks very nice and provides needed shade in our Texas heat. This is a good deal.

It was not too hard to put together, but not all the pieces fit, and some of the screw holes were defective. It looks pretty nice, but the quality is just okay. Because one of the poles did not fit, the canopy also doesn't fit properly. I also have no idea how to put the very top piece on. It is certainly not rainproof as it has holes in the roof fabric. I did send a complaint and got my money back, but I wish all the pieces fit well instead.

We purchased this gazebo several months ago to shade our concrete patio. It has held up perfectly and we have had no issues with it in heavy rain storms and high winds. We noticed complaints about rust when researching this item. When we received the item, we applied two coats of clear gloss enamel paint on each metal piece before assembly. We have had zero rust so far. We decided against concrete anchors and used pavers on each corner to secure the gazebo in place. Assembly is very easy and only requires two people to attach the top piece. I would suggest assembling the top, including installing the canopy, prior to placing it on the columns. This made everything very easy without having to be on a ladder.

I have owned a couple of this type of gazebo over the last 10 years. I thought this was the same quality but it appears not. The frame is very light weight and feels unsturdy. The joints "pop" together instead of screwing together. Initially I thought that would be useful and they do work decently but as we had to take the top off a number of times to get the top piece on, I saw how difficult they were to work with. Also, we live in the Northeast so we take the fabric covers over during the winter and the "pop" part will rust quickly and no longer pop. Overall I am disappointed with how lightweight the construction feels overall.
