2 in 1 Garden Arbor with Door and Latch for Outdoor Lawn

My gardener put it together in just one hour! We were very impressed with the quality of the materials and finish. One suggestion, I wish I had painted the parts before putting it together, but it has been in great shape so I don't regret it. There are no missing parts and it was a great deal compared to the local gardening store.

Assembly was quick and easy with pre-drilled parts. All parts were stained and sealed before assembly to mitigate weathering. Good value for money and very sturdy. Did use ground anchors to resist wind forces.

The instructions could have been clearer but we made it through without any problems. Our youngest son is getting married and the wedding will be in the backyard. He and the bride will walk out to the backyard and take a few pictures.

This gazebo replaced the one we had for at least 15 years. It is stronger, for example, the side slats allow the vines to climb, and it is thicker. Very happy with it. We found it easy to assemble, but it will take at least a few hours, maybe three.

It took me two hours to assemble it myself (at 40 degrees Fahrenheit). It's beautiful, but it was also labor intensive since only about half of the holes were pre-drilled. I recommend using an electric screwdriver, socket wrench, rubber mallet, tape measure, graduated square, pencil, and drill. Since there were no anchors, my next task was to pour some concrete base to move the gazebo to its final location and secure it above the sidewalk. If you don't have a second person to help move the assembled gazebo, assemble it in place since it will be quite large once assembled. It's very sturdy and I have no concerns about it lasting for decades.
