Aoxun 10 x 12 ft. Cedar Wood Pavilion Gazebo with Gable Roof

A 10-by-12 gazebo is the size most patios can actually take. This is that size in Aoxun’s Cedar Wood Pavilion Gazebo family, model IG413LG01: 117 sq ft (10.9 m2) of cover under a peaked metal roof on four cedar posts, and at 385 lb of timber and hardware it stays put once the anchors are in.

Measured, it’s 142 in long, 119 in wide and 118 in to the ridge. That’s 3.61 m x 3.02 m x 3.0 m, or 11 ft 10 by 9 ft 11 by 9 ft 10; Aoxun rounds it to 12 ft. L x 10 ft. W in the listing. The posts are cedar, 4.7 in square. The roof is a metal hardtop with a gable pitch. Aoxun doesn’t publish the panel gauge, so we won’t guess at it. The wood carries what Aoxun calls an eco-certified natural finish, which they rate against UV, water, insects, scratches and mold. Their load figures: 15 in of snow on the roof, and 73 mph of wind once the expansion bolts are in. Hooks under the ridge take 44 lb, enough for a fan or a heater. Not a swing.

Between the posts you get roughly 9 ft by 11 ft of clear floor. A six-seat dining table fits with the chairs pushed back and room to walk behind them. Two loungers and a side table fit with a lot to spare. A full sectional like the one in the photos is a squeeze, so measure yours first.

Assembly is the honest part. Aoxun’s manual says four or more people. Their product page says two to three in one place and three to four in another. Plan on four, and on Aoxun’s estimate of 2-4 hours if it goes cleanly. You’ll need a drill, a level, an Allen key, a Phillips screwdriver, a rubber mallet, gloves and a stepladder of 6.5 ft or more; none of those are in the boxes. Hardware, spares, expansion screws for concrete and ground nails for grass are. The manual’s own advice is to keep every bolt loose until the frame is square, then tighten the lot, and it goes as far as recommending professional installation.

At 385 lb this ships freight, not parcel. It leaves Camp Verde, Arizona within one business day and typically takes 3–7 business days to reach you; the freight carrier will call ahead to book a delivery window rather than just turning up. Have someone with you, because the cartons are long and heavy. Before you sign, count the boxes against the driver’s paperwork and photograph anything crushed or torn. A photo emailed to us with your order number is all it takes to start a damage claim. Keep the packaging until it’s built, since a return within 90 days needs it.

The photos are dressed. Furniture, string lights and the ceiling fan aren’t in the box; the gazebo, its hardware and its anchors are.

Aoxun covers the hardtop roof and the frame for one year. Curtains and netting carry a separate one-year term, which is dead weight here: this gazebo ships with neither.
