Good Gazebo So Far!!!, June 21, 2007
This review is from: Outdoor Patio Tiverton Gazebo (Kitchen)
We bought it a few weeks back. Box is very heavy because of the heavy steel structure. The instructions were OK, we used the chairs from our patio table to support the side while we attached the corners. Then we used ladders to support the "box structure" to attach the legs. Don't forget to put the drapery rings into the slide channel before attaching the corners! With the superstructure in place, the ceiling supports are to be put in. The ceiling pieces are long enough to slide far into the holes toward the center then back out to the perimeter points. Make sure to lock the spring loaded buttons into place, it makes it really sturdy. Now attach the canvas top. This is the only downside. Some of the sewn-in hooks are NOT exactly aligned with the holes in the steel structure. This creates lateral tension and future tearing of the canvas roof very likely. This also created another question...when it tears where to buy and how much does a replacement canvas roof cost. After 2 hours of calls, google searching and store visits where nobody could answer the question. I found it for $149 plus shipping! Call Newmark Industries at 800=457=4652. I am hoping it last 5-7 years. And one more thing, spend the time to anchor the legs down to the ground securely. In the Texas heat this will let us use our patio this summer. And one, one more thing. We went to Lowes and bought the HEAVY nylon screen shade stuff. Made drapes for the sides to block the setting Southwest sun. Now it is perfect!!

Great Gazebo...but cover has about 3 yr lifespan, February 1, 2008
This review is from: Outdoor Patio Tiverton Gazebo (Kitchen)
Just FYI for anyone else who needs to replace the cover for the Tiverton Gazebo. IF your "Sean Conway Tiverton Gazebo" was purchased PRIOR to 2007, you would need to call SunJoy (manufacturer prior to '07)@ 866-578-6569. NuMark Industries began production of the Tiverton in 2007 and evidently there are slight differences in the specs..so replacement covers have to be purchased through the correct manufacturer. If you call SunJoy, you must have the manufacturer's code ( 3 letters + 3 numbers)from the tag on one of the corners of cover. OR you can email a picture to them so they can identify the correct model.

Good, but top didn't last as long as I'd hoped..., January 6, 2008
This review is from: Outdoor Patio Tiverton Gazebo (Kitchen)
I purchased this gazebo a little over 1 1/2 years ago. The frame is built quite well. I bolted the legs to my deck and it has endured the weather nicely. Unfortunately, a few weeks ago, I noticed the top starting to rip where the clips are sewn to the top. When I investigated it further, the top started tearing like paper because it is dry-rotted. This past weekend, I looked on the deck to see the top completely torn and hanging from the center! I will be calling the recommended number in the other review to order a new top tomorrow. This time I will use industrial Scotch Guard w/ UV protection on it before installing! On a positive note: I was able to mount an outdoor ceiling fan to the center using an ABS outdoor junction box. Even on high, it holds the fan rock solid!
