U-MAX10' x 16' Outdoor Hardtop Gazebo, Wall-Mounted Pergola Heavy Duty 16x10 Lean to Large Gazebo with Galvanized Steel Patio Roof, Metal Awnings Pergolas and Gazebos on Clearance for Patio

The media could not be loaded. First thing to note is this Pergola comes in 2 packages, one box the heaviest one come's with all the hardware/materials and the 2nd box comes with all the roof panels. There was no damage and everything was well packaged.I would suggest taking all the hardware out of the plastic wrapping because some of the hardware can be hidden for packaging reasons and can be overlooked while you are tying to build it. Take a deep breath and read the directions twice, a cordless drill will help. If you are have trouble with some screws not going in make sure the punch out holes are knocked out, I had that issue and had to knock out a few myself to get the screws in. Overall it is pretty simple to assemble, where i needed help was standing it up to continue the install process for the roof cross beams. I had an issue where the directions didn't explain in detail if the front panel with the 3 legs should be facing in or out, took me an hour to figure out that the front panel 3 poles with the triangle brackets are facing out and the roof cross beams over hang and connect to them. For the roof cross beams don't tighten them down completely because i had to loosen them up again to slide the roof panels in.Conclusion My Family loves the pergola, the quality is better than i thought and no need for gloves there were no sharp edges which was nice. Once mounted to the house it is solid, it has added a new area to our house for the Family to hang out.ProsEasy to assemble may need a friend or twoQuality of partsLooks BeautifulConsWish the legs and roof cross beams were one piece, but understand for shipping reasonsDirections could use some work, better close up pictures and detailsSome holes were not completely punched out

Surprisingly good build quality. Took a few hours to assemble, but relatively good instructions. Parts fitted well together. The hight was a bit too high so lowered it by 5 inch by cutting the four posts. A few things to think about: 1. It has to be anchored/attached to something (like a house wall, or in my case our deck fence. Not stable standing on its own. 2. I doubt it’s fully water proof, which I also saw from other reviews. Therefore I put duct tape on all the panel seams, should hopefully do it. 3. The roof panels are probably the weakest part, not sure if they can stand much snow in the winter.

I saw some reviews that said the instructions were lacking, but I didn't have that problem. It's just a picture book that shows you where things go. Everything is labeled and I found it easy to follow. The only thing I don't remember seeing that would have been helpful was a dimension for how far off the structure the rear post need to be set. There's a clip, but no dimension. My install was a little custom so I had to go buy some clips to fit my needs, but I knew I'd need to do that.While I'm thinking about it... another issue was the instructions have you put the end frame on at the same time as the panels but if you've already secured the pergola to the structure you may not have any room to do this.Anyway, I'm happy with how it turned out.

I wish I could give this negative stars. The product is so bad. It’s flimsy as a sheet of paper. It came all bent and scratched up. OH also, the item I purchased and the item sent is are NOT the same as shown on their website. The site shows thick beautiful columns holding up a metal roof that is straight across the top. This flimsy piece of paper dips down and my 6 foot child can’t even walk under it. I made a complaint and the seller “approved” my return. This means, I must pack up this awful bent up metal and pay $100 to ship it back to them. This thing is a $500 hunk of garbage. I cannot say enough bad things about this product. Do not waste your $500…

Box says black but it is a dark shiny grey. Paid 99.00 for shipping but would cost 249.00 to return.

I really dislike buying an item without any reviews, but took a gamble since it seemed like the same thing listed on another "way fairer" website but for cheaper and the had the usual Amazon return policy. Started putting up most of it solo, which took about 3 hours, and then had to call over the neighbor when I needed to attach the top rails. Took about 6 hours total. Pretty decent instructions (which were accurate and somewhat easy to follow). All pieces included and nothing missing (came in three different boxes). You will blow apart the plastic washers if you don't adjust the torque your on your drill. Overall happy but it is day 1 of it being assembled. Hopefully the plastic roof holds up to repeated sun exposure (time will tell).Make sure you have something solid to connect the structure to. 100% not a stand alone structure. I attached 3 of the 4 legs to my deck and a solid connection to the house from the middle. The middle definitely has a bit of a bend but nothing crazy.Overall really happy with it!!

These look absolutely amazing! My neighbors even asked where they could purchase them. Great price and worth every penny!

Shipment came in two separate boxes: top panels in one and hardware and instructions in the other. Our shipment came in different days but seller was very responsive and helpful.Recommend taking out all the hardware and instructions first and getting your pieces familiarized. We used a drill with low torque to move the process along quickly for assembly.When attaching the roof panels, gently guide the panels into the slots before tapping into place.Overall, love how it turned out. The price was reasonable and easier to assemble than building one from scratch. It provides better shade than a canvas, super sturdy, and quality of the pieces are solid. Will post photos and a video once we get the yard cleaned up :p
