Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The SUNJOY 4x4.6m Garden Solid Wood Waterproof Gazebo is seventh in this round-up of hardtop gazebos. It is a cedar-framed shelter with a steel gable roof, listed at £1,369.99 and rated 4.6 out of 5 from 36 ratings, with 150th place in Amazon's Gazebos category. The listing describes 14 cm posts, double-layer beams and a floor area of 18.4 square metres.
The reason it sits here rather than higher up is that the listing contradicts itself in several places. The Occupancy field says 4-6 people; the opening bullet says the same gazebo "comfortably seats 20 people or 25+ standing". The name gives the size as 4 m x 4.6 m; the Item Dimensions field says 4.65 x 4.04 m. The first bullet calls it "fully assembled", while the customer reviews describe a kit with many pages of drawings. Every figure on this page is taken from the Amazon listing, not from any test of ours.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“We are very pleased with our gazebo and hope to get much enjoyment using it. However, be aware that the many pages of directions do not contain any written narrative or measurements. The directions consist of only mechanical drawings and arrows. The hardware is packaged in individual zip lock bags and well labeled. The ground stakes are only eight inches long and certainly not sufficient to hold it in place. We put in 12" diameter sono tubes, with rebar and 14" X5/8" J hooks and filled them with concrete. We put sound deadening rubberized tape on the metal roof rafters before placing the roof panels to minimize any rattling sounds. We are in our 70's and do a lot of home projects - this is not a 10 hour or one day job! We are very happy with our finished project!”
Verified purchase“There are about a million parts to this kit, and it can be a bit overwhelming when you first start unpacking everything. Just go step by step with the instructions, and take your time, it'll eventually come together. I like it because it is light, but feels sturdy at the same time. All the pieces come together into a well made gazebo. Mine fit so tight, I had to undo one of the ends of the roof supports to get the last piece of roof metal to go into the groove, and refit the edge support. When it's done, it is really tight. No rattling in the breeze from anything and everyone is impressed with it. Hope it lasts a long time!”

Questions people ask
How many people does the SUNJOY A102008114 seat?
The listing gives two answers. The Occupancy field says 4-6 people. The first bullet says it "comfortably seats 20 people or 25+ standing". Both sit on the same product page and we cannot tell you which one is right.
What size is the SUNJOY gazebo?
The product name and first bullet say 4 m x 4.6 m x 3 m (H). The Item Dimensions field says 4.65L x 4.04W x 3.06H metres. The listed floor area of 18.4 square metres matches 4 x 4.6 m; 4.65 x 4.04 m would be about 18.8 square metres.
Does it arrive assembled?
The first bullet calls it a "fully assembled gazebo", but the same listing sells the hardware in individually labelled zip-lock bags, and one reviewer's directions run to many pages of mechanical drawings with no written measurements. Assembly is clearly part of the job.
What is the roof made of?
A steel gable roof, listed as completely waterproof and as blocking 99% of harmful UV rays, with UPF 50 ultraviolet protection stated in the spec table. The frame is cedar wood.
How much does the SUNJOY gazebo weigh?
250 kg as listed. For scale, the two 3 x 3 m TOOLPORT gazebos elsewhere in this round-up are listed at 66 kg and 71 kg.
How is it rated?
4.6 out of 5 from 36 ratings, with 5 one-star, 17 four-star and 78 five-star marks shown in the rating breakdown. Those three bars add up to 100, not 36, so the split and the headline count do not agree.
