Sunjoy 10'x 12' Regency II Patio Gazebo with Mosquito Netting

We very quickly received our gazebo. We put it up that weekend. The package says it takes 20 minutes to assemble. The instructions say it takes 30 minutes. It took us 2 hours. The package arrived damaged in three places. I'm not surprised that UPS damaged it. The box weighed 80 lbs and was probably very hard to handle. The damage to the box sadly resulted in damage to the contents inside. Two of the main bars for the roof were bent and dented. We decided to go ahead and put the gazebo together and see what happens. The bends in the beams made them very difficult to put together in the corners. But we did it. We spent the rest of our Saturday afternoon sitting in our bug free gazebo and we had dinner in it. It is beautiful and you could feel the difference in temperature immediately. On Sunday I emailed the company and asked them to send me two replacement beams. I filled out the enclosed order form and sent them pictures of the damaged box, close up pictures of the dents and pictures of the bent bars. By Tuesday I received an answer. They requested a copy of my receipt. I didn't have a receipt, as such, so I sent my confirmation order form email from Amazon. They sent an email that night saying the beams were on their way at no cost to me. They were very professional and prompt when dealing with them. By Friday UPS notified me the package was on its way. I was very pleased with their response. Now for the gazebo. The day after it was set up we had a very heavy rainfall and strong winds. We decided to leave it up but watch it carefully. The gazebo was assembled on our deck. As it rained the holes in the roof allowed some water to drip through as it was designed to do. Except for the panels where the bent beams were. It appeared that the canvas wasn't tight enough in that section so it was sagging and started taking on water. We decided to quickly pop off the canvas and let it hang from the middle. It weathered the storm very well. The next day I went out alone and was able to reattach the canvas. We've decided this will be protocol for when we are gone or if storms are coming. It is very easy to put the canvas back on. The netting does a good job of keeping the bugs out but it does not keep the sun out when the sun starts getting low in the late afternoon to early evening. So we went out and bought a cloth shower curtain from Walmart and hung it on the bar the netting hangs from to keep the sun at bay. This looks nice and works well. The plastic netting hooks that attach the netting to the gazebo are cheap and flimsy. It was obvious they are not going to last and we were shorted a few in the box. I went to Walmart and for 97 cents a package I bought five packages of metal shower curtain rod hangers. They are sturdy and glide nicely over the netting bar. With a few homemade upgrades and improvements we have a wonderfully covered deck. We are going to screw the gazebo to our wooden deck so it will be sturdier in storms. We are realistic about the canvas roof and don't expect it to weather storm winds. But letting it hang loosely in the last few storms we've had seems to work well. I'd definetly recommend this gazebo. The corner pieces are much more sturdy than the poles you get with most tents. The corner shelves are nice for plants and stabilize the corner pieces nicely. 06/27/2016 - one year later. Well we have had our Gazebo now for one full year. Here is what we learned...in order to really protect the roof you need to let it hang down in rain. The grommets are placed too high on the canvas roof to allow water that is collected to drip through. As a result the canvas stretches and the seams start to tear. I wish they would use Velcro along the seam instead. This way, as soon as it starts to rain I could rip open the Velcro and allow the water to pass through without having to undo the entire canvas every time the weather looks bad. It won't be water proof but I don't care. I've added a photo to show what we do when it rains. Be careful about gathering them and allowing pockets of water to accumulate as they will quickly become heavy and could rip the canvas or bend the frame. I generally keep them loosely tied if the wind is going to be strong or just hang like in the picture if the wind is gentle. We added another shower curtain to the gazebo because we liked the way the first one worked. It is nice to have some shade protection when needed. I also added Christmas lights all around the frame and even fashioned a dead branch into a chandelier hanging from the center with more Christmas lights on it. Last week I went out and bought a small solar pump and made a little water fountain that sits next to the gazebo. We screwed the frame to the deck and left it up all winter. It did fine. No issues were found from this decision. I loved the gazebo last summer and love it even more this year. We keep coming up with more accessories to buy for it as it has become our new favorite place to sit and watch the birds we never knew we had in the yard. After eleven years at this house, we finally have a deck we can use and have grown to absolutely love. I keep hearing, "This was the best thing you've ever bought on Amazon." I think it is one of the best things, period, I have ever purchased.

I bought this gazebo set for my son in celebration of graduating with his Master's degree. He just got it and began setting it up. We were very anxious to see what it looked like and see how the project was going and he sent us a picture of it and got a good look at it. It is very attractive and looks sturdy! The size is great and there is still more he needs to finish like the base it will sit on and the netting hadn't been put up yet! He seems to be very happy with this purchase and will send us more pictures upon its completion! He is putting this up by himself so it sounds as if the assembly is easy to even do it alone and snaps together...which ours snaps together as well and know this type is just as sturdy as any other assembly type! I love that it is dark brown and that it has shelves to make the sides even sturdier! He got it in just a few days and arrived very quickly and was all packaged to be sent safely and appreciate that fact because this is the first purhcase that we sent right to the person and didn't have it travel through us first. That saved us alot of time and trouble to get it to him since he lives a good 4 hours from us! Once he finishes it I'm sure it is something that even the neigbors will be pleased with because it is not an eyesore at all! It is very attractive and felt the price was excellent to include the mosquito netting as well! I'm expecting that he will enjoy this for many years to come and will receive alot of compliments from his neighbors! We all couldn't be happier!

The canopy went up within an hour yesterday with my son doing most of the work. I couldn't believe how easy it was to assemble. All parts were clearly labelled. I recommend laying out everything on the ground in order before assembly. Quality seems to be fine, however, one of the metal corner support pieces came slightly dented. It looks like it's from delivery as the box was damaged as well. I don't think it will be a stability problem, though, and I've discovered the mosquito netting hides it anyway, so I'm not planning on making an issue of it with the seller. It's light weight aluminum, so it feels kinda light. We put it up on a wood deck and have yet to screw it down. The hardest part of assembly, believe it or not, was hanging the mosquito curtain. This was because the plastic loops with which to hang it are kind of a pain to manipulate while stretching up and craning my neck, etc. Plus the fact that after we looped it on completely we realized we had it on backwards. Beware to not make the same mistake. Check the corner panels alignment of the netting FIRST. There are velcro tabs to fasten the netting to each corner frame. These should be on the INSIDE of the netting, not facing out (like we first did, unawares). As for weather, It rained all day today so I got to check it out in the weather right away. Water has leaked through to the inside. There are some streams running down the inside of the fabric, but they're mainly on the canopy itself. There are some drips to the deck below, but it's not pouring through. This canopy looks really nice. I'm glad for this purchase and am looking forward to using it! The canopy has only been up a month and I’m seeing rust in some joints in framework at all four corners. Will attempt to contact manufacturer to see what they say...

I've have changed my opinion of this product after several years use in Southern California. First, it looked as good erected on my as represented in the pictures shown on Amazon's site. If you live in Heaven, where there is no rain, no wind, and no beating sun, then the Regency Gazebo is for you. Otherwise, keep shopping. Save money and pay the price for a well made product. I feel the Regency II Gazebo is cheap, really cheap. Let me count the ways. The fabric cover rotted out after only a couple of seasons. (Note this gazebo is my third or fourth over years of use.) The attachment points for the cover are pointed, if you can believe it, just aching to poke through their attachment pockets. And these pockets are flimsy, unreinforced and lightly stitched. Flimsy! The netting between the vent and the roof rotted off, again after only a couple of seasons' use. The fabric cover quickly became bridle and faded. The steel frame is attractive but just as fragile as it looks. After only a short time, I had trouble keeping the gazebo square. Most of the time it looked like a drawing in a cartoon. And it is light. A few weeks ago a late santana (a seasonal high wind in the Los Angeles area) balled the Regency up into a neighbor's tree. Yes, these winds are fierce, but keep in mind I have used one gazebo or another over the past fifteen or twenty years, and all of the Regency's predecessors, with some care, stood up under similar conditions. And, as other reviewers point out, it rusts - even in Southern California weather where rain is an event for celebration. Yes it is powder coated, but that does not help at the weld points or, especially, where one part of the structure is inserted into another part. When I tried to dismantle the Regency after pulling it down from my neighbor's tree, I had trouble separating the various components due to rust. I decided to buy the Regency II despite serious reservations after reading the reviews. My nervousness was not assuaged when I unpacked and erected it. And my worst fears were confirmed when I looked out my kitchen window and saw it perched in my neighbor's tree. The Regency irked me almost from day one. Even before its mating with a tree, I had decided I would not waste my money on another flimsy replacement cover. My advice to you: If you want to use your gazebo for just one season, then the Regency II is for you. Otherwise, pay the price for a good product.

I’m so glad I found this gazebo. It’s 10x13 and we put it on our deck. We have a large 6’ round table and it fits nicely with some room to spare. The extra 3’ is helpful. A little difficult to put up as the cover is very tight. But with a few strong hands it’s doable. We keep the frame up all year and drilled to the deck. We only remove the top and netting. It has gotten a little brittle from being in the sun, but it has stood the test of time as we have had this for over 10 years. This summer we may have to replace the netting only.

Couldn't be happier. Really grateful for the reviewers before me, because without their reviews and comments, I wouldn't have taken the risk of ordering this without knowing it was a good idea. Shipping was great -- it arrived as scheduled (maybe even one day sooner). The bag of stakes did break open during shipping so that it scratched some of the posts just a little, but it didn't bother us because they're covered by the netting and the design of it doesn't really show scratches anyway. Assembly was fairly smooth, but definitely took us longer than 20-30 minutes. (I think it's mostly our own fault. We made the mistake of not leveling everything out ahead of time, since we're renters and have a back yard that is part patio, part grass. Think that made it more difficult than it needed to be. So just make sure you've got a level area or it could take much longer.) One tip for assembling the top beams/bars (which again may have happened just due to our un-level surface) is to put in the short middle beams first. Those lined up easily, unlike the corner beams. That helped us get it into the correct rectangle shape better so that the longer corner beams then slid into place easier. The final product is gorgeous. I'm posting a photo for those who can view the user photos associated with this. The color is perfect, it's solid and sturdy (we secured it with bolts instead of the stakes), and the decorative metal frame looks perfect with the canopy and curtains. I did a lot of research before deciding on this particular gazebo. I'm so glad I found it -- the price and quality are exactly as I'd hoped. If we notice any problems with quality as time passes, I'll update this review.

This is good for 1st gazebo, not too much money invested to see if we will use it or even like having one. I like the looks and hope to get plenty of use this summer. My husband just set it up the other day and was extremely frustrated with the directions (or lack of...). He plans on sending a resume to the company for a technical writer position, he believes he could do a much better job at writing the directions. The Patio Gazebo arrived quickly and well packaged. The canopy has quite a few (many) pin holes throughout and doesn't fit snug where it should and loose where it shouldn't. The support frame for the canopy is a bit flimsy and the hooks for netting are very cheap (but you get what you pay for....). Last night we had rain and the canopy retained water on all sides causing a sagging and stretching of the material. Over all, not bad for the money and hope to get 1 or 2 summers out of it. If we really like the gazebo, we will invest in a better quality.

I didn't want to review this until we had used it for a while. We really needed something for our deck because the mosquitoes were awful this summer, I didn't have a ton of money to spend but I wanted something that looked nice. I Had seen a bunch of this style at my in laws camground and really liked the shelves and it just looked really nice. The reviews kind of scared me but this was the best I could find in my price range and I took the risk. I am happy to say it paid off. We live in upstate NY and the weather here can be crazy. I didn't even have this screwed into the deck for the first two months we used it and it never went anywhere. We got a big wind storm that finally started to move it so I screwed it down. Never an issue, this thing is sturdy. You do want to watch the canvas as it will fill up after a good rain, the holes do help drain it but not so much, the water will pool and droop. we just went out and pushed the water off, no big deal, didn't hurt it at all. The netting keep the bugs out perfectly and we were able to hang out late at night with no issues, it was lovely. The shelves held our lanterns and I strung up party lights. Best purchase ever. We didn't take the frame down for the winter just the netting and canvas and it's holding up fine. At some point I'll have to spray the metal because it is rusting a bit but I expect this to last a few years which will make it well worth the money. I'd happily buy it again when this one finally dies but I don't think I'll need to for a while.
