Quoted By:
The new gazebo is assembled, it was a solid day and a half project with over 300 bolts. Every metal piece was individually wrapped in plastic, and the bags for identical pieces were taped together which needed to be cut. It came in a single box weighing 350 lbs. The size is 10x12 which is the same listed size as the old one, but those clever bean counters changed that from an interior measurement to exterior.
It fit together surprisingly well. A few of the bolts required me to stand on the last step of a 6 ft step ladder to reach, less fun with the wind we had today. There are 3 more bolts I need to borrow a larger ladder to reach since they are on the railing side so the ladder needs to be on the ground. It only came with bug netting, but since it had 2 curtain rails I reused the old side curtains.
I'm going to use the bug netting from the old gazebo to try and keep bugs from eating my peas and lettuce when then come up.
