Aoxun 10' x 12' Gazebo for Patio, Gazebo Pergola with Sloped Roof, Large Wall-Mounted Heavy Duty Awnings, for Backyard, Deck, Patio

This is SO cute! Just what I wanted. We had 2 tornadoes here in Ga right after we put this up and I was so scared, but it held up even with the rain and wind! I was stoked!!It took 2 days to put up (half days)instructions were ok. Now the structure was off some my poles are a bit bent but I'll make it work especially with the awesome price so. Any way here a a few pics can't wait for my furniture!

It was easy to assemble and looks great on my back deck.It provides shade from afternoon sun.

The awning is shipped in two boxes, the first being the awning frame members which is very heavy, and the second the roof panels. Note that the first box may not indicate the contents, and Amazon's order list may not show the item as shipped or delivered until the last item is processed. We received the panels two days after the framing. Both were shipped and arrived ahead of the projectd delivery date.There are a lot of parts and fasteners, including three different size hex bolts, two different size washers and a bag of nuts. They also include expansion bolts for anchoring the legs and wall brackets. The fasteners come in labeled bags so you know which to use during the assembly process. They also include a little open ended wrench and little allen key. The fasteners are metric, so if you have metric hex keys and sockets, or, a drill with metric driver bits, assembly might be easier and faster.Assembly took us 1 day and 3 evenings. You have to closely pay attention to the assembly diagrams to avoid errors. If you follow the printed instructions you will first assemble the roof and then lift that onto the columns, which will require 4 people to do that safely. One of the assembly videos show the roof being assembled to the columns piecemeal. We did it the first way, assembling the entire structure in our driveway, then having 4 people carry the whole thing (don't try that in breezy weather) over to the final location on the other side of the house over a basement entry stairway and small adjacent patio.The expansion bolts provided as leg anchors might not be sufficient depending on your situation, or you might need long exterior construction screws or lag bolts to attach the rear leg brackets to your wall. If you are going to anchor it freestanding to a cement patio, you might want longer concrete anchors. If it is going freestanding on a lawn, you will need very long lawn anchors you can get on Amazon, or, you might consider pouring small cement posts for anchoring it.The unit is nicely finished in an antique bronze tone and seems reasonably sturdy after it is anchored to the ground and a house wall. In my opinion, unless you anchor it to cement footings it would not be a good idea to use it freestanding. The roof panels are a translucent, corrugated plastic material that diffuse the light and make it more comfortable under the awning. The product page says the roof can bear 55lbs per square meter, which is probably fine for light snow. A heavy wet snow however might collapse the roof. You might consider purchasing PVC roof panels from a home center to install over the awning's own panels if you live in a area that gets heavy snow, and be prepared to remove the snow from the awning.

I’m very disappointed to write a negative review of this product, as I shared with the company the quality of the materials were acceptable. Our problem was that two very important parts were either defective or damaged in shipping. The result is when assembled, where these two parts come together that part of the roof is sunken in. Because the roof is compromised in this area it does leak heavily in this area when it rains. The winter freeze thaw and snow will surely cause further damage. I had a licensed contractor look at the parts and there is no way to repair them.Everyone compliments the roof but almost everyone notices the issue with the indented roof and asks what the problem is.I really thought and hoped this would be a no brainer for the company to do what is right by the customer and simply send the two replacement parts so we can have it properly prepared. We’ve had 6 communications with the company and have done everything they’ve asked - sent pictures, ensured everything was properly tightened etc. After we jumped through all the hoops they asked us to, they still refuse to send two new part “J” roof supports to us. Zero customer support. We hope Amazon can do something to help us out.Thank You!Tim and Diane Foster

I'm giving this awning 5 stars even though it came with a couple of defected parts. Two holes in two of the posts did not line up with the triangle accent pieces. It was avery small problem which did not prevent the building of it.Now me and a friend took about 5 housr to build it. Instructions were a little sketchy, as it's all pictures. Everything fit together nicely and WE ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THIS PRODUCT! It looks great and I love the tinted plastic panels. We anchored it to the wall and cement and that thing is sturdy! Time will tell how how it does in the long run, but the awning is awesome!

We received everything in the two big boxes. No missing or broken parts. Everything accounted for. The instruction booklet was not incredibly well written, and left some detail to be desired (think Ikea instructions, but harder). So for that reason it did take us a bit of time to get all the small pieces assembled. But once we got it outside and was actually starting to put the big pieces together, it came together pretty easily. This definitely took 4 people when we got to the point of raising each leg/corner! I don't think we would have been able to do it with just 2 people. The panels are waterproof and fit into the tracks easily. It honestly looks amazing and we are so happy with it! Such a great addition to our backyard and having the patio covered is so helpful for the kids playing outside! It is worth the work of putting it together!

Great product, easy to put together and a great price!

Nice fit and decent quality. A lot of small parts but happy with the finished project.
