AECOJOY 10’ x 10’ Gazebo, Wall Mounted Gazebos Pergola on Clearance, Outdoor Patio Lean to Gazebo Awnings for Deck, Porch, Backyard and More

I’ve never left a review, but with this purchase felt like I needed to just in case someone is having a hard time deciding, just like we were.With all the mixed reviews, we were extremely hesitant to try this pergola, but we really liked the look and it was the right size, 14x10, so we decided to buy it. We are very happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend to others!Yes, it was a lot of work to put it together, but all the pieces were there and the instructions that came with the product were very clear and outlined everything step-by-step. Very easy to follow and all the pieces came together perfectly. Would recommend using a drill to tighten everything, as per some reviews, seems like not everyone does this. Also, anchoring all five legs and attaching the pergola to the house made it very sturdy.My husband and I completed the set up in about 7 hours or so and that was with a few breaks. No regrets on buying this pergola. A great purchase!

Now that the pergola is finally installed, it looks nice. However, this thing was not an easy installation by any means. It took 2 people for mosf of the install and at times a 3rd person because the frame WOULD NOT SQUARE!!! This is particularly important when installing the plexi-glass like panels. When frame is off, the panels do not line up and there were major gaps...so that means leaks! Finally, got squared and had to also attach wooden blocks to attach to anchor to house. You definifely need to have some building IQ and not rely 100% on poor instructions.

It arrived in 3 boxes. We got the 20x8 unit & it took about 12 hours to put together with one handy person & a helper. We received all parts. The roof panels are a little more flimsy than expected. To be honest, I'm a little worried about hail, snow load & ice...but maybe I'll update this review after those weather events happen.Overall, it's a nice addition & it's already helping to create a relaxing oasis that we enjoy using. I would definitely recommend this lean to gazebo to anyone wanting to escape the sun & rain while still allowing enough sun to come through & keep your plants alive.

Where do I start? Scuffed/scratched pieces (could have been from shipping), pieces not labeled, crappy materials and poor instructions! I've included pictures showing what the panels look like with the protective sealing still on. One of the seals on one side is white and quite frankly that's the only reason you can't see through this thing at the moment. It will provide no shade whatsoever; which is kind of the point of this product! Also the panels are cheap plastic and flimsy! In the first picture I put it next to a cardboard box that came from Amazon. You can clearly see how crappy it is! The cardboard is thicker! The gazebo itself is just a bunch of smaller pieces that you have to combine together to make larger pieces. What I mean is that normally a gazebo will have four posts and those posts are all single pieces. Instead you will have to put together five pieces to make one post! Two of those pieces are flimsy feet pieces that can't really hold anything in a balanced position unless you anchor them into concrete. I suppose the company did this purposefully so they could easily ship this in comparison to a much more quality gazebo. This is also the same for all the roof support pieces as well. Each roof support is four pieces instead of one! They say that this thing will not leak, but there are so many little areas for openings it's ridiculous. Water can squeeze through the tiniest of cracks, so it's definitely going to leak through this gazebo. After seeing reviews from JMore332 and GBee where it's completely collapsed, I've decided to return this rather than opt to put it together and be even more disgusted with this purchase. For a gazebo to collapse like this with the possibility of people underneath it is an extreme safety concern!

Once both boxes arrived it was quick and easy. My husband has a construction background, so it was super easy for him to install. What a difference it makes, giving us the opportunity to enjoy out outdoor (Florida) space under a shaded area. I liked how the tinted panels are included in the package. The product is well made and visually appealing. Glad we ordered it!

As the title says, it looks great and wasn't difficult to setup, but I am about at my wits end with the leaks in this stupid thing. At first water was coming in at screw holes on the top side, as the provided washers are plastic and don't seal them well at all. I had to go through one by one and remove every screw and washer and replace them with actual rubber washers, as well as put some silicone into every screw hole. This stopped the leaking at the screw holes - now it leaks around the edges of the panels in a half dozen different spots, and every time it rains it seems like a new one pops up.I want to love this thing so much, and I did initially - but the leaks are making that increasingly difficult to do now.

I gave it a 5 star for the structure but only 2 stars for the instructions. Once assembled it is a sturdy and attractive structure but be aware of some challenges. We purchased an 8 x 16 unit for our back deck. First and foremost, the directions are only diagrams, and you have to look very carefully at the diagrams to notice how to assemble, the only 'brief' written instruction was not understandable as it was a poor Chinese to English translation. Caution, you have to assemble the entire structure BEFORE attaching to side of house. For our large unit we had to use some temporary diagonal cross braces with clamps to keep it steady until bracing against house. I noticed some reviews complaining of leaking; I attribute this to the panels not completely installed into slots on cross pieces, as this was the most challenging part of the project requiring two people as the panels required some light tapping with a rubber mallet to seat into the cross pieces while your helper guided the panel into the slot, but once installed were super tight with no leaks.
