313924 Gazebo with Louvered Roof 3x3 m Cream Fabric and Aluminium vidaXL

product not recommended, very flashy, not waterproof.

The delivery of the 4X3m Gazebo was fast and efficient. Once assembled, the Gazebo is nice. The assembly took about 4 hours for two people, but could be done a little faster. There are some (subtle but important) instructions missing from the assembly manual because some parts must be placed in a specific direction, especially at the level of the basic structure (part H2 and H1), otherwise you will have a problem installing the roof. For the rest, the assembly is simple. We will see in use.

I have just opened the boxes, I am disappointed by the quality of the canvas, moreover, there are very few explanations for the assembly, do you have a more detailed notice?

The pergola serves its purpose. Unfortunately, it's not easy to assemble, screws loosen over time, and it wobbles dangerously in a bit of wind. In short: It's not worth the price.

The product could easily be upgraded to excellent with just one or two changes. (1.) twelve of the hex headed screws were not punched correctly during the manufacturing process which meant that they were impossible to use so i had to go & buy some more bolts to finish the build. more importantly though, to get the mechanism to work, i had to remove the plastic caps from the end of the lovre where it attaches to the louvre bar (part C) because the mechanism fouls & will not operte at all. I then had to add washers onto the louvres (as spacers) to prevent the mechanism from fouling against the ends (where i had removed the plastic caps). It took myself & 3 other people to meticulously go through the (not very good) instructions to confirm that it had been put together correctly but just didn't work properly! After the modification, it now works well & gives the joy that it should have done before all the headaches.

The product presents value for money, but the engineering construction of the main spans from 3 peices joined with a splicing plate offers a poor alignment - basically the main beams sag. This results in the louvre mechanism being difficult to move without using a hand to guide the vanes further down the bank from the handle. More thought should be given to these main joints and how they impact on the operation of the louvres. Disappointed compared to other products supplied by the same manufacturer.
