ABCCANOPY Pop Up Gazebo 13x13 - Outdoor Canopy Tent with Mosquito Netting for Patio Garden Backyard (Brown)

This was great for our family gathering. Our back deck is in full sun the entire day, so this was perfect to have a shaded area for guests. This is not meant to be a permanent structure. This is good for a few days in good weather. It would not withstand any sort of wind or storm. Instead of using the sandbags to hold it down, we attached two legs to the deck with screws. The tent was very easy to put up. It took my husband and me around 30 minutes to put it together. We did not install the netting, so I can’t comment on the netting at this time.

Bought this to have somewhere shaded and away from the elements at our rental house. Very nice quality. Sits outside in the sun most of the day and no signs of fading or deteriorating yet. The strings used as tie downs dry rotted fairly quickly but are not necessary. Just put the anchors through the feet. It has survived many bad storms without issue.

Settle in, this might take a minute.We have a pool and a patio that are in full sun for most of the afternoon. We live in Oklahoma so we get a lot of wind and some pretty big temperature swings. Putting in a full size permanent gazebo just seemed like overkill since it would likely breakdown fairly quickly and at the very least I’d worry about the wind tearing it up. But sometimes we just need some shade and respite from the bugs. After a lot of searching and reading reviews I landed on this one. I will admit, my expectations were low. But I decided to give it a try.Delivery was slow. That’s not a problem with the product but don’t believe the shipping time listed. That will change once you hit the order button.The bag that it is stored in is pretty flimsy for how heavy the unit is but it gets the job done.I am 55 yrs old and only 5’4” tall. Not super fit but not overweight. I had no problem opening it and getting the frame set up on my own. My daughter did help with adding the fabric but it could be done alone.The directions are crap. They do not illustrate or accurately describe how the netting attaches to the frame but we figured it out.It comes with 4 bags to fill with sand to weigh it down on the corners. Those attach with Velcro. Unfortunately, because of the poor directions the Velcro did cause a small hole in the netting but nothing major.Where this really impressed me was how well it handled wind. We had it set up for a full two weeks in the Oklahoma wind and it did just fine. The weights held it down nicely and none of the fabric tore in the wind. We had several days in a row of 15mph wind and some 20 mph gusts but it hung right in there. We even had a pop up thunderstorm but it handled that like a champ.When I was ready to take it down I was able to do that entirely on my own with just a step stool to reach the button inside the top. It was slow and methodical but I was able to do it alone.Overall we really enjoyed it. Being able to keep the bugs out and have a little shade is wonderful! I think this will be a great option for small parties and family gatherings or staycations without the maintenance and space commitment of a permanent structure. I’m very happy with it.

This is a beautiful canopy! The setup was quick, easy and straightforward. The fabric provides excellent sun coverage, making it perfect for summer gatherings. You also stay dry under the canopy when it rains! My last one would leak from the top. I appreciate the sturdy frame, which has withstood strong winds without bending or collapsing. The canopy's spacious design comfortably accommodates several people, making it ideal for family barbecues and picnics. It’s very stable and comes with bags we filled with rocks for an extra security on the bottom of legs. I highly recommend this canopy! We plan to keep it up all summer on the backyard deck. I’m also going to buy another one for my grandkids blow up pool!

Saw some other reviews saying this can stand up to 35MPH winds, we had a weather day of 20-30MPH winds so I figured I'd put this gazebo to the test. The follow statements are the results and observations from my "stress test".The canopy is pretty water resistant. It rains here frequently and the rain ran right off the material.The mosquito net siding is incredibly flimsy, is awkward/pathetic to set up as well (loosely attached by a rope, supported by 30-odd clips). If you put the netting outside the corner supports it is too short to zip shut. And if you put the netting inside of the corner supports, the netting just floats to the middle of your gazebo - either way it doesn't work well nor accomplish the task it is supposed to.The metal frame, arguable the most important component, is very much on the thinner side. The corner legs are sturdy enough, however the flexible top is very laughable-will bend with wind gusts-very worrisome.I understand full well this was not supposed to be a permanent structure, for lower $200 price you'll never get that. However I did expect more out of the product. At least some sort of benefit/compromise somewhere. (Sturdy but difficult, or flimsy but quick. You don't really get either. It's difficult and flimsy).It's not too difficult to set up by yourself, but when you need to consider you'll have to completely disassemble and reassemble this with every use, it is far too much. The instructions do not explain, they are just images and they do not even exactly match thr model of gazebo. If you set up tents frequently you can figure most of this out by guessing.. With experience you could probably get this up in roughly 20minutes, though I do warn you, you need your hands over your head for most of this assembly and that can get tiresome.If you choose not to fully disassemble this gazebo, it will not completely collapse and fold as the canopy top material will stretch too tightly, it must come off. So you need to unvelcro everything, and untie everything, and unclip those 30-some clips for the netting.So yeah, after I set the gazebo up, I put the legs in a massive 20" flowerpot, staked them into the ground added sandbags to each leg, and filled the pots full of river rocks. It looked amazing. Seemed to hold up decent at first. Turned my back for a while, and when I came to check on it, the leg was bent inward and my fence had shredded the canopy top. I can not recommend this product to stay outside unsupervised or be used in weather conditions where wind might be higher than 15mph.If you read this far thank you for your time.There are other products which require nearly no assembly and I would recommend them over this as this product is just an outdated version of those.
