Very Nice Product

I looked at many different gazebos before purchasing this one. It is a very popular unit and I waited until July 2008 to purchase this model and they were sold out at all of the Sears stores across the US. I finally found a display unit set-up about 50 miles away and rented a U-haul van to go pick it... read full review »

Garden Oasis Bay Window Gazebo

We loved how the product looked in the store.... However, after one summer (we live in Ohio) the top cover and panels had faded completely. I'm talking we put it up in June and by late August the cover had turned light pink. I'm very disappointed. The overall structure of the frame has been fine. We... read full review »

We purchased our Garden Oasis Bay Window Gazebo this past June.  Money was tight but the 12 month interest free offer made it possible to purchase for the summer. We enjoyed many quiet evenings and many evenings of laughter. Both are memories for a long time. If you do not have this gazebo, I highly recommend it!

Well built

The Bay Window gazebo from Garden Oasis is a great seasonal gazebo.  It has a vent on the top to provide air flow and a screen to keep out the bugs!  It went up easy. I assembled the entire thing myself, although not recommended, it takes longer and is easier with at least 2 people.  When anchored down it is very stable in the wind, although I would not keep it up year round.

I purchased my Garden Oasis Bay Window Gazebo less than three months ago. The top is faded poorly, the elastic tie-backs have deteriorated into dust, and the frame is rusting, leaving yellow dripping marks all over the frame and in the joints. Now I see why they included a little nail-polish-size bottle of the black paint. This was definitely priced too high. I don't know what Sears could have done to prevent fading, but the frame-work should have caps on all open parts to prevent moisture from getting inside. The tie-backs should have been made of something other than elastic. At this rate,... read full review »

This is the worst gazebo I have ever bought. It started to rust 3 days after putting it up. The seams on the top of the canopy opened up and when it rained, it poured inside the gazebo soaking the furniture. You couldn't even sit in it even during a light rain. I would not recommend this to anyone. NOT WORTH THE MONEY!!

My wife saw this gazebo and fell in love with it.  We purchased one from another retailer last July and had to give the frame away.  The canopy is much thicker than I imagined and provides a snug fit to the spacious 10 x 12 frame.  The assembly time was just over an hour for myself and my 10 year old son.  The slip-on design made the entire process easier, but I recommend a good step ladder when assembling this item. 

Pros:  Very good instructions, ease of assembly, large area covering, zippered netting on all four sides which can be tied back, and elegant appearance.

Cons:  There is no...

Bought our gazebo last spring. Set-up was easy, looks awesome, all our friends liked it. We screwed the frame to the deck flooring and it held great in the wind. The screens did a good job of keeping the bugs out. Left the frame up all winter and now that it's spring again I notice slight orange rust at the joints and screw holes. Not bad though.

Garden Oasis Bay Window Gazebo. We anchored it down into a cement patio...make sure you use the correct drill bit and anchors. We bought Tapcon concrete anchor screws (they are blue in color) 1/4" diameter x 1 3/4" length found at Lowes or Home Depot. NOTE TO SELF....what ever size anchors you buy read the fine print at the bottom of the box that tells you what size drill bit it requires....that made for a second trip to Lowes for us....so our second trip back to Lowes we spent a little more money and bought a Bosch hammer drill bit Blue Granite. Saved us a lot of time drilling in the concrete....

Durable, But

It was easy to assemble and seems strong in wind if you anchor it well. It has been up two weeks and is showing light rust drips and it hasn't even had the roof on it yet. The roof will fade as I had the same before. I plan to take it down after summer and paint it well and with stoneguard also. There is no paint on the inside of the thin steel frame. New replacement canopies are about $149. I does look sharp.

Brown to Purple

Canopy faded to a purple color in five months, water collected inside of frame tubing and rusted tubing from the inside , creating orange colored drip marks on the exterior of the frame. The unit is vary sturdy and holds up well in the wind
