Despite the delays due to CV19, the car post arrived in good condition, well packaged, and went up without a hitch. It looks fantastic and I would recommend to anybody. Great product well made. Thanks

Easy to follow instructions chord together well, sturdy. We have used it as a pool shade structure. A few days after installing a severe storm including strong winds and hail passed through but shade structure weathered it easily.

Nice looking carport but the utmost care should be taken when drilling holes for screws that should be aligned and also when packing the materials that should be checked for broken parts, scratches and dents which prolonged the installation cause we waited for parts to be delivered.

Excellent Multipurpose Canopy

I was fed up with my gazebo roof tearing and becoming discoloured having to remove the covering during winter so I looked for something more permanent and the Palram Arcadia 5000 more than fulfils all of my requirements. A very well engineered strong piece of kit. With a flat base prepared and following the instructions two people could put it together in under a day. Having said that the initial 3 packages off the lorry are almost impossible to move and need 4 people to move them or empty them at the drop point. My wife has already started to train plants up the supports and was trying to claim it for a drying area when not in use for sitting out but I have also been trying to annex it to my workshop for sawing large lengths of wood which were difficult to work on ... MoreI was fed up with my gazebo roof tearing and becoming discoloured having to remove the covering during winter so I looked for something more permanent and the Palram Arcadia 5000 more than fulfils all of my requirements.

We are considering installing a hot tub in the future the uses for it are endless, you can add garden sails to the sides or ends to give additional protection from the elements.

Great carport at a very reasonable price

Well made kit, was easy to assemble but you do need to follow the instructions carefully and two people is the minimum requirement. Looks great and performs well. I would wholeheartedly recommend this carport. Guttering is integral but there are no downpipes in the kit.

Honest review following installation

I order this after a lot of looking around and have ot say I am very please with the product.When I ordered it I belivered delivery would be 4 to 6 weeks and it arrived with in a week.It was delivered in 3 boxes which 2 of us could lift and move around.I took me 2 days to bulid, fro the first 11 hours I worked on my own to assemble all the parts ready for final building. It then took 3 of us to do the final assembly of the main frame.In my honest opinion its one of the best self assembly kits I have put together, instructions are pretty good althought I did miss one step that I had to correct, and the parts all fitted together very well. my only comment is the fitting of the foam strips into the center roof bar is a bit awkward and there could be a better ... MoreI order this after a lot of looking around and have ot say I am very please with the product.When I ordered it I belivered delivery would be 4 to 6 weeks and it arrived with in a week.It was delivered in 3 boxes which 2 of us could lift and move around.I took me 2 days to bulid, fro the first 11 hours I worked on my own to assemble all the parts ready for final building.

Palram Arcadia 5000 Carport

I bought a carport which I have been meaning to do for some time but wanted something that looked okay in front of my very old cottage. First chose a gazebo which looked extremely good but then changed my mind and changed the order to a straight carport as I thought it might be stronger in view of the high winds we get here.The carport isn't quite as 'quaint' looking as the gazebo but it still looks okay, in fact I think it looks good. It seems to be strong, resilient and extremely useful and I am very pleased with it. If I had to nitpick I would have liked it to be a bit higher but it is perfectly acceptable and probably safer due to the high winds. The service and advice I was given was very good and very helpful.

Palram-Canopia Arcadia 5000 Carport Assembly Option: No Assembly

Excellent product of high quality

Sturdy structure and excellent instructions

Firstly I was impressed by the packaging. It is designed to fit snugly into 3 packages. The instructions were located in the box containing the roof sheets - the last one you would normally open. I liked the fact that each bag of nuts and bolts are clearly labelled as is each part of the structure. The instructions were easy to follow and the main structure went up very quickly even working on my own with a little help from a few ropes. The most difficult part I found was fitting the roof sheets and fitting the very small screws that secure each roof sheet to the gutters. Although I managed to build it up all on my own, I would not recommend it. And follow the instructions to the letter.

Very resistant

I bought this product in March 2018 and I am very satisfied with this product is robust and of very good quality assembled for a year and a half the product has not moved.
