King Canopy Garden Party Backyard Gazebo

this gazebo was so easy to install. my husband did it himself in about a half hour.it covers our whole patio and is of very good quality. I would suggest if you are looking for shade and easy installation then this is for you. I love it .icouldn't believe the quality for the price.

This gazebo provides excellent coverage. The only suggestion we would make to the manufacturer is to develop a locking mechanism to secure the poles together when inserting them. This will keep to poles in place when raising them up with the cover on top. After a couple of attempts, we used packing tape to prevent the poles from coming a part. We love it!

The instructions state that this gazebo is only for temporary use. The poles slide together but do not lock in place so a big wind could tear it apart. If you were handy with a drill, you could drill a hole thru the pole connections and place a stainless steel bolt and nut through each hole to keep the poles from coming apart in the wind. I read previous reviews that said that the screen was not long enough to totally zip together, because the sides were not made long enough for the final zipper to close. Mine had the same problem. If SAM'S wants to over quality products then they should have the manufacturer immediately fix this problem. I'm disappointed that SAM'S has not corrected this issue. Even with this flaw (we never planned to close the screen) this gazebo is worth the cost.

We have enjoyed using this product. It was fairly easy to install, although having 2 people for installation would be recommended. The canopy and bug netting are lifesavers when trying to enjoy the evening Florida temperatures. I added the optional anchor kit and it provides a secure tie-down for the product. I would recommend the purchase of that additional product. We have had several severe thunderstorms since setup and the product has withstood the strong winds with no impact.

We have owned this gazebo for 4 years and it is GREAT! We have it anchored to our deck with the plates and bolts that were included and it has stood up to the elements! The fabric does fade and weaken but we have ours in the blinding sun from May through October. We replaced the top (bought canopy only from a web vendor) after 2 years when a huge storm blew through and the canopy ripped off - the framing swayed in the wind but remained intact. That storm was so intense that we were without power for 4 days afterwards so I am amazed that the tube framing held! We don't use the bug net so I can't comment on that - we found that it got too hot and because we use it on the deck, the bugs just come from underneath anyway! Bottom line - we can use our deck in the afternoon comfortably and at an extremely low cost. We bought this as an alternative to a very pricey retractable awning. Figure we can replace it 20x and still come out ahead!!!
