I should have listened to some of the reviews for this arch. It leaned to one side after I put it together and there was no way it would ever withstand the weight of some climbing vines. I became so frustrated looking at it leaning in my yard and I would go out to try to lean it up straight. After a couple of days of this, it finally just tipped completely over and broke one of the joints where it connects. This was a complete waste of money, time, and effort.

The Gazebo was fairly easy to put together. I would advise to have at least two people put this together, especially when you are short. Overall it's very sturdy, and looks great !
It's just how the pictures look. and looks great in my yard.
And is easy to assemble.

It looks a lot nicer in the picture. It took my husband and I two days to put it together because it's so flimsy, and it's still not right. Green color looks very cheap. I don't expect it to last very long. Not worth the money.

It took only 2 hours to put it together & set it in place. Before purchasing it I read other reviews & was better prepared for the installation. I dug a 6" deep by 5'wide circle into the ground & bent little feet on each post which were secured by U-shaped wire stakes into the ground before refilling with soil. The metal is light weight & this would prevent any shifting from wind & weather. I'm VERY happy with this product & can't wait for next spring to see the clematis rise & all the bulb plants pop-up around the birdbath that sits in the middle. The only extra tool you need to put this together is PATIENCE.

I love my gazebo. I laced string on two openings and left only one side open. My vine is growing over 3 sides and looks great. I put a birdbath in the middle.

We were very happy with our Gazebo Arch. We ordered it for a wedding and it looked beautiful. We had read previouse reviews and used a previouse purchasers advice regarding putting it together and it worked great. It was perfect size for the Bride, Groom, and the Gentleman performing the wedding to be under it. It is true that its not overly sturdy if you were to lean against it but we dont plan on doing that. Even if it dont make it through this next winter we will still feel like it was worth the $100.00 (aprox)

This green arbor has a unique shape and three-sided access. It may not be as heavy-duty as other arbors but has held up even in windy conditions. Interesting addition to any garden, and at a reasonable price.

I know many may consider this Gazebo Arch because the price seems decent. Let me lend my experience to you...DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! This item is not only terribly cheap looking it is incredibly cheaply made. When I returned this item to Target the sales associate asked me the reason for the return? I simply and truthfully answered "It's a hunk of JUNK!!" FLIMSY/UGLY/WASTE OF MONEY!! Will NEVER last longer than a year, will never hold up to the growth of a vine. TERRIBLE PRODUCT! Should of listened. I would give this product a non-star if I could!!

I bought this almost a year ago but never took it out of the box due to laziness. Last night I decided to put it together since it is Spring and I planted a bunch of new plants. When putting it together I could see that it is pretty cheap. Some of the holes were not drilled so I had to drill through the metal, and two other pieces would not line up so I had to drill those holes too. Some of the holes were too big for the screw head so I had to get new screws with bigger heads. One of the spikes was basically twisted metal and was barely usable but I made it work by bending it a bit and drilling a hole.

I did not think the directions were very good for putting it together, but I did make a stupid mistake. After putting it together, planting, laying rock, and cleaning up the trash I noticed the picture on the box and saw I put the top together wrong! I really screwed up the top and that is my own fault so that is not reflected in my rating of 3 stars. I believe even if I had put it together right it would still be flimsy. The three star rating is due to all the other problems I mentioned and the fact that the paint actually chipped off in several places and I am sure will rust.

I figure this will probably only last for about a year, if that. A part of me wants to fix the top but I am afraid that it would probably break if I attempted to redo it. I think it will work the way I have it and actually makes it a little smaller which works better in my space. It just doesn't look like it is straight the way I have it. I did tie it to the fence to help keep it a little more sturdy.

Now lets see how my wisteria does on it...

This tri-pod trellis is easy enough to put together but it is very flimsy and cheap. When I was assembling it, some of the screws stripped the holes and couldn't be tightened. Also the screws and nuts of the top piece won't tighten enough to keep the parts from twisting. I had my boyfriend who is very knowledgeable of assembling furniture and lawn items help me. Even with very expensive Snap On tools, and buying new quality screws and nuts it just isn't worth it. I will probably have him weld all the joints together, but even then that won't solve the akwardness of the three legs. There needs to be a brace or bottom part to connect the three legs. Without any bracing, the whole unit is very flimsy, even when the legs are planted in the ground. I suppose he can weld some sort of support for the bottom legs but for crying out loud, I expected more for my money than this!
