Customer Reviews for Paragon Outdoor Paragon-Outdoor 14 ft. x 11 ft. Avalon Gazebo

Easy assemlying , takes about 5 hours . Be carefull about the right sides , I made the sides with holes upside down , costing extra time to correct them .

Installed July 14, 2018. It took my wife and I about 5 hours to set it up from unpacking to finish. The parts list and instructions are easy to follow and assembly was not too difficult. The materials look to be very high quality. I really like that the frame is made of stong but lightweight aluminum and has a nice painted finish. The Sunbrella canopy looks well made and was pretty easy to put on. I think it will be pretty easy to take the canopy off for winter and put back on in the spring. I like that the frame and canopy have a great warranty too. We purchased our own fasteners and bolted it down to our composite deck. It has already provided much needed shade and mosquito protection and now we are really enjoying our deck!

Absolutely beautiful. The instructions were very easy to follow!! It says you need 4 people, we were able to do it with 2 but 4 would have made it go faster. Took us 10hrs to get it together.

The gazebo is a well made product is time consuming to put together and you need to be handy to assemble

Looks great, would and super sturdy. Was not difficult to put together. I did it myself but took a few days, I had the time, would have gone faster if i had help, but was no problem had to do one minor adjustment as one of the screws were not aligned (that's why i took one star away)but in all was easy to assemble. The Net is great, exceeded my expectations as the nets from all my previous gazebos were flimsy and ripped, this net is thick and will last a long time.

the completed gazebo is sturdy, attractive and was easy to assemble. there was one error in the instructions that was simple to redo. there was one bag of extra screws and nuts, that were not needed. the top was difficult to stretch over the frame but with extra hands was completed

the base was very difficult to assemble, the 4 legs had coating in the threads, and even a nut driver couldn't push through. quite a painful process. The final extension extrusions - part 9 is to slide over part 11 - are made not to fit - they needed to be filed down on the inside to operate properly - the part 9 extrusion wasn't proper

The Gazebo arrived before the promised delivery date. I unpacked it and all the parts were there included a bag of spare hardware. I started to assemble it and found that some of the tapped holes threads were marginal were you couldn't get the screws in. I purchased the proper size metric tap and cleaned them out and it assembled fine. We erected it and my wife has been enjoying the fact that it created another room on our patio. If you are not handy i would recommend you have someone help you that is for the assembly.

It's very sturdy with steel legs and frame, and the fabric should last at least a few years in the hot Southern California sun. It's a great addition to my outdoor living space. One person can do some of the work of putting this together, but it definitely takes two people to complete the assembly.

you guys couldn’t find a gold fish in a pond full of them..Poor communication..Nobody really had a clue..

Totally not worth the money. If it was not such a pain in the a** to put together I would actually take it apart and return it to get my money back. Holes did not line up, the metal is cheap and it was very difficult to put together. I am very disappointed in this product as well as Home Depot for selling it.

More spacious then expected

A great gazebo, but quite a few holes did not line up, so it made it difficult to assemble.

the base was very difficult to assemble, the 4 legs had coating in the threads, and even a nut driver couldn't push through. quite a painful process. The final extension extrusions - part 9 is to slide over part 11 - are made not to fit - they needed to be filed down on the inside to operate properly - the part 9 extrusion wasn't proper. Product also came damaged from the strapping material used. I suggest the paragon people try to assemble one of these - it would be most helpful,

Love this gazebo. Brother-in-law and son-in-law had assembled and installed in 3 hours. Allows me to spend much more time on my deck. Could not be happier!

It went together very quickly with 3 people working on it. The threads and bolts are covered in paint, so we used penetrating oil and ran the bolts threw once before trying to assemble. We anchored it to concrete and it is holding up very well in 20-30 mph winds.

Gazebo is top of the line! The only problem was the instructions showing parts that must have been from another model which had you scratching your head until you figured it out !

Its beautiful and we love it. It was quite a bit of work though. Suggest using a power hex head driver.

I love both the look of this gazebo and how solidly it seems to be made. I rate only 4 stars for three reasons: 1. instances of pre-drilled holes being off by annoying fractions of an inch, 2. excess coating drips in holes needing chipped away, and 3. two cases of mislabeled or drawn parts in the instructions.

I really like the gazebo, but the mosquito netting was very disappointing. It was supposedly made to fit this model gazebo but I had to cut the all the rails for the sliding hooks so they would fit in between the columns. Also there is no way to keep the top of the corners tight to keep the bugs out

For the price I was extremely disappointed in the netting around the top tier of the gazebo...I was not stitched to keep bugs out my $500 gazebo was made nicer.

This review is based entirely on assembly issues:During assembly critical parts are missing! The entire assembly had to be stopped! In contacting distributor's customer service, they were sorry to hear of the situation, but are unsure, at this point, when the missing pieces can be replaced. They did indicate that these particular parts have been missing in other units. It may be up to six weeks before the parts will be available. There were also parts that should have been pre-drilled and were not. For the cost of this gazebo I am disappointed in the quality control for insuring that all required parts and assembly features were not there. Once assembled, in the questionable future, it does appear to be a nice gazebo.

This is truly a terrible product. Threaded holes were drilled in the wrong places and misaligned for matching bolt applications. Welded parts were also misaligned. Was advertised as all aluminum but many pieces are powder coated steel. I could go on.

very pleased with the quality .

Overall, I'm very pleased with this gazebo.Pros: Excellent packing. Each piece came in a protective sleeve of bubble wrap, so it was easy to remove, but kept all parts looking good.Instructions were pretty clear in most sections. Me, my daughter, and my wife got the main framework up in 1.5 hrs.

Missing pieces, instructions was not clear and was a horrible experience.

Great delivery!!! Price was great!A little trouble with directions to assemble. However, the size (11’ X 14’) caused a problem. Actual size is 10’6” X 14’4”!!!!!So far it has been great.
