LAUSAINT HOME Outdoor Hardtop Gazebo for Patios 12x16ft, Permanent Heavy Duty Metal Double Roof Pavilion with Aluminum Frame & Enclosed Curtains and Mosquito Nettings for Lawn and Garden, Brown Metal

It's definitely not a $4,000 gazebo/pergola but it's decent for what it is. It's fairly thin aluminum but once assembled it's plenty sturdy. I probably wouldn't trust it in a super high wind area, like a beach side property, but in a back yard that only gets moderate wind it should be fine. The mounting plates on the posts are thin and attached with just 3 screws on each one so it probably won't withstand a huge amount of lateral force.Assembly took me about 7-8 hours with the only help I got being holding the posts up while I attached them together. Definitely use a drill, m10 socket/crescent wrench, and an a frame ladder. It isn't difficult to put together, there are just a ton of parts. Be prepared for things to not align absolutely perfect and to need a bit of manhandling to get together, mainly the roofing.As a note, it comes with anchors for concrete/stone but you'll need to purchase your own lag bolts if you're installing it on your deck.*Update*After a decent rain it definitely isn't waterproof. My outdoor rug and patio furniture got a good soaking from water seeping in through the holes the roof bolts went through, as well as the gutter being inadequate for the water flow. If they had included rubber washers for the roofing bolts it would have been really awesome but I'll probably just go through and add a bit of sealant on the underside of each one since I don't want to get up top. As for the gutter, I'll have to figure out a good way to let it drain faster so it doesn't get overwhelmed.

It is very nice! The frame feels very sturdy and strong. The product is well-designed and engineered to fit my need.Installation was simple and straightforward. The curtain on this gazebo keeps mosquitoes out, I love this design. Now I can enjoy the evening breeze worry free. I would pick this hardtop gazebo over any other gazebo on the market.Overall, I'm very satisfied with this purchase and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable and functional addition to their outdoor space.

As a matter of fact, I bought a lot of outdoor gazebos but guess what. They all fall apart because of casual strong wind and some collapse because of heavy snow. This LAUSAINT hardtop gazebo is made with solid and sturdy metal. It came with 4 big and heavy packages and it claims to handle 2600 lbs of weight. I would highly recommend getting at least 3-4 people to help. My dad and I spent about 3 afternoons putting it all together. The waterproof hard top is made with solid galvanized steel while the frame is made of aluminum. More importantly, it is fade-proof and rust-proof. There are two removable nettings. I do find the installation video helpful but think it goes quite fast. I would play it at 0.5X speed. Overall, it looks great for my backyard and I don't have to worry about wind and snow anymore. It is a pricy upgrade but totally worth it.

The experience with this gazebo is like won a lottery.We are so lucky for found this beauty, just perfect!High quality, great look, helpful instructions.A better look than in the picture.

We replaced our soft top gazebo with the Lausaint Harttop last year (2023). It was easy to assemble, held up beautifully over the CNY winter and we were able to use and enjoy it through the winter months. Now that spring is here, we are looking forward to spending more time in our little backyard oasis.Not only is the gazebo beautiful and constructed well, the customer service after purchase has been fantastic and helpful. We will definitely be shopping with this company again, if and when the time comes to purchase another in the future. Highly recommended by us.

This is a very sturdy product. The assembly took 2, sometimes 3, of us two days to put together (approximately 12 hours total) and found that we had to have patience when putting the roof panels on. All pieces are labeled, and directions are detailed as to which numbered piece is needed at each step of the process. However, for the roof panels, we found that when placing the panels in place, the directions said to wait to put the screws in after putting the roof panels in place, however, the panels started falling out - so we found that putting the screws in each side worked better for us. As for the curtains, be mindful of where the tie is located in relation to which side you put the 6 / 7 hooks on, as we had to take ours off / on several times before getting it right. We did contact customer service about the curtains, and their response time was great! Now that we have had the gazebo up for a couple weeks, we absolutely love it. We ended up hanging two fans in the gazebo to keep it cool on hot days, and added lights for ambience in the evenings. We had a big rain storm come through, and zipped the solid curtains shut, and saw that there was some water seeping through at the seams, so once my husband caulked the four seams at the gutters, everything has stayed dry. We love this gazebo, it fits perfect on our deck, and are looking forward to relaxing and enjoying this now that the hard part is done. :)
