Love this gazebo!
We've lived in our home for 4 years and have always enjoyed our deck, but it faces the west and can get quite hot and uncomfortable in the late afternoon and evening. Umbrellas do little to provide relief.
We happened upon a gazebo similar to this one in another magazine and loved it. I did a little searching and found this Christopher Knight product on Great Offer Stock for $150 less than the one I saw in the magazine. We saved a little money, and the product does not look cheap at all.
It was fairly easy to install. The instructions said plan for 3 hours for 4 to 5 adults, but my husband and I were able to do it by ourselves in about that amount of time, even with a couple rain delays during installation.
The end result is beautiful and it provides the shade we were looking for, along with other features we hadn't thought of - including mosquito netting curtains. We have not yet drilled it into our deck, but it is very sturdy even without the screws. I highly recommend this product and look forward to many comfortable summer evenings in my newly-transformed deck space.
