Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Outsunny 3.6 x 4m Hardtop Gazebo Canopy sits at number eight in this guide, and on the surface it is the entry that matches the collection best: an aluminium-framed garden structure with a polycarbonate hardtop roof, four curtains with mesh screens, and 12 ground stakes in the box. Where the cheapest pick carries bullets written for a vinyl turntable and the £999 Backyard Discovery is cedar rather than aluminium, this one is what the listing says it is. What it cannot do is agree with itself on size. The product title says 3.6 x 4 m. The spec table says 4.2L x 3.6W x 2.75H metres. The item type name buried in the specs says 4.3 x 3.6 m. Three footprints, one gazebo.
The declared floor area makes it four numbers rather than three: 11.5 square metres, which matches none of the dimensions above — 4.2 x 3.6 m works out at 15.1 m². Priced at £799.99 with 4.4 out of 5 from 81 ratings, it costs £36 more than the cheapest pergola in the guide but rates higher than that one's 4.1. The listing also puts the structure at 107 kg, states that assembly is required, and adds the instruction that accumulated snow must be removed from the roof. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing as it appears, not from any test we ran.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“What a fabulous gazebo this is and at an attractive price point. Very well constructed with good solid components that look very robust. Shouldn't be any issues with rust as most of the structure is powder coated aluminium. The instructions are clear and accurate. It is advisable to have a second pair of hands available when putting the roof structure on but, that said, I managed to do it alone even though I'm in my late 60's. Pay attention to the film on the roof sections because they have to be put up with a particular surface facing up. Also, keep an eye on the brush strips that form the seal with the roof sections, these can move easily and may result in a leak if you don't have them in the correct position. Mine has been leak proof in torrential rain and I am very pleased with that aspect, did not need to resort to sealant. I would also leave yourself plenty of time to build it. All in all a fantastic gazebo, well made, reliable and reasonably priced. Very happy.”
Verified purchase“I would point out that it would be best if you had a 2nd pair of hands to put this up and have plenty of space to do so it took me 9 hours mostly on my own. Put that aside this is amazing. Very pleased with this purchase. The instructions are easy well marked up should you get stuck there is you tube videos to help you along. The build is fab as you can see we have a lazy spa in ours and we have had some bad weather and it copes with that no problem. There are pegs to put into the ground also should you want to mount it to concrete they are all supplied. Ontop of this it's pleasing to the eye as well. Well impressed”
