I love my new ABC CANOPY. I can't speak about the water resistance yet because it hasn't rained, but I want to let people know that it is well made. I feel like this is @ least a two person job. I wouldn't say it is impossible for one person, just easier with an extra hand. CAUTION: EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: If you want to keep this up outdoors all Summer you can but only if you use something other than the stakes & tie downs that come with it. The weight bags could be better also. I would suggest for bags to purchase the larger, taller ones made also by ABC CANOPY. In total they hold up to 130 lbs. of sand , pea gravel, dirt, whatever you choose to use for weight. If you want to leave this up in 25 mile an hour wind, & rain you can. But this is not a hardtop Gazebo and if you are putting it on the lawn in your yard you need to purchase a different type of ground anchor. I would suggest @ least 16" L ground " Earth Augers" . They make some nice heavy duty ones nowadays. Then purchase an" Augo" ratchet set. Augo makes the best & you can purchase the "Earth Augers" and the" Augo ratchet sets "right here on Amazon.The ratchet set comes with 4 straps about 15' long w/ really heavy duty hooks. Just put the earth Augers in the ground first, and screw them down into the earth either manually , or some have an attachment where you can use a drill to turn them. Avoid areas with roots & rock obviously and once flush with the ground attach one end of the ratchet strap to each earth auger and hook to inside top steel bar of the canopy ,tighten the ratchet & all set. If you do not you will find your canopy in your neighbor's yard,or upside down & ripped out of the ground ,even seen broken windows . These will withstand a normal summer thunderstorm and some wind if you do this. The stakes & ties that come with this product will not hold it down and your Canopy will most likely be ruined along with anything in it's path when it goes airborne. VERY IMPORTANT. DO NOT USE THE GROUND STAKES AND ROPE THAT COMES WITH UNLESS YOU PLAN ON PUTTING IT UP& TAKING IT DOWN IMMEDIATELY AFTER USING IT .

Easy to put up. Very classy addition to your home

Purchased this last summer to use on our new deck but deck didn't get finished before winter so never even opened the box. Took it out a month ago after deck was all finished and set it up. Noticed right away that the frame was very flimsy and the canopy was super thin. Tried to be optimistic anyway. It literally caved in and collapsed even though one side was against the house and two of the other sides were connected to the deck railing. The scissor arms on 3 of the sides snapped in half where they meet and have plastic joints. Contacted the company to try to get replacements. They asked for additional photos THREE TIMES then came back and said "warranty on frame is for a year and canopy is six months. Your warranty is expired and based on the number of parts needing replaced, we suggest buying a new canopy." SERIOUSLY? A complete waste of $175. Will buy a replacement but NOT this one or from this company. I buy literally dozens of Amazon items monthly and hundreds per year. I hardly ever write reviews. But this was poor customer service and a flimsy junk product. Save your money and go a different route.

We're using the 13x13 gazebo canopy on our porch until we're ready to something more permanent. It's a perfect fit, with ample inside space for a couch, two chairs, and several tables. The height allows a 6-foot adult to walk inside without ducking. The frame appears relatively robust and secure. It came with four weight bags for the legs (as several reviewers recommend, we're using water bottles/jugs rather than sand), and I've also tied the legs to the porch with bungee cords. No movement seen with 10-15 mile wind gusts. I plan on lowering the canopy as far down as possible during higher winds. While not waterproof, the fabric seems fairly rain-resistant. We've sat under it during gentle, steady rain but had to move inside during one major downpour with wind-driven rain.Altogether, with the caveat of just two weeks of experience with the canopy, I'm satisfied with the purchase. Similar canopies I've looked at in the big box stores are going for much higher prices. At a little over a couple of hundred bucks, I figure if I can get two years or more from the canopy, I've got my money's worth.Now for the down side. While it may be possible for one person to set up the canopy, that person wasn't me. I had to recruit my wife to help. One reason you need two people is that when you open the frame on a smooth surface, such as a porch, the frame tends to slide rather than opening unless someone/something is anchoring the other side.The set-up instructions are terrible. Let me repeat, terrible. No words on the single sheet of paper that purports to be the instructions, just poorly rendered, cryptic graphics. Unlike with many things on the Web, I couldn't find one video explaining set-up. There is *one* video on YouTube specific to the 13x13 ABCCANOPY but it's almost like a parody of an instructional video. After telling you how easy set-up is, the YouTuber fast-forwards through most of his set-up, with no explanation of what he's doing or how he's doing it.So, anyway. Tips: Avoid frustration and get a second person to help. When opening the frame, you want the rods at each side to be pointing up at at an approximate 60-70 degree angle, which should mean the frame is at full extension. It's easier at this point if one person goes inside the frame and attaches the small canopy roof. On the inside frame arms you'll find what appear to be small levers that can be opened to around 20 degrees. These are there to help secure the small canopy roof. You'll find pockets at each end of the small roof. The "levers" go into those pockets. The large canopy roof is similarly secured; its pockets fitting into the large rods at each side of the frame. Once that's done, the "inside person" can unlock the tentpole button and push the roof frame up until it locks with an audible click. Again, this is easier with a second person holding the outside frame. Now all you to do is open the legs to get the frame to full height. You'll see a hole in each leg. Unlock the leg and pull the leg up until you "click" into the hole. If the leg is still sliding freely without unlocking it, you haven't hit (or missed) the hole. That should be it. Hope these details help. Enjoy your canopy!

実はこのテントを購入するのは2回目です一台目は風に煽られて修復不能。それまでBBQ、孫の遊び場と使い勝手が良かったので2台目を購入しました。次は4本の脚に重り付けてペグでロープ固定します。夏に大きな日陰が必要ですからね

Der Pavillon steht nun ein Jahr.Er war wirklich jedem Wetter ausgesetztEr hält so einiges ausDie üblichen Herbst WindeStarken RegenSonneDas Dach ist nicht ausgeblichenDas Gestell ist stabilEs regnet etwas durch die entlüftung rein aber wirklich minimalEs sind 4 Beutel zum befüllen mit Sand dabeiHier haben wir jeweils 2 Pflastersteine drin ….. er geht nicht fliegen …. Haben ihn von der Höhe her auf der mittleren Stufe stehenIst sein Geld wert 😀🌞😀

かなりしっかりした作りで良かったです。キャンプとか一回もやっと事のない素人が1人で２時間ぐらいで組み立て出来ました。ペグは所属してるのだと弱いというレビューを見ていてたので追加で丈夫なのを購入して使用しています。まだ、使い始めたばかりですので耐久性があるかは分かりませんが2、3年は持って欲しいですけど、値段以上の価値はあると思います。

Al primo vento...si è distrutto.400 euro buttati. Assicurazione inutile. Non compratelo

強い風が吹いても安定出来るので安心してバーベキューをやった。
