JYSK PAVILJON FAABORG Š3XD3XV2,65M BIJELA

Pros

• Good value for money: Commonly mentioned.
• Stylish appearance: Described as stylish, attractive, classy, and beautiful.
• Easy assembly (with caveats): Generally easy for at least two people; however, some users reported difficulty with asymmetric parts and roof attachment. Some recommend 3 or even 4 people. One user assembled it alone.
• Durable frame (with caveats): Some describe the frame as robust and sturdy, lasting several years with proper anchoring. However, frame weakness, bending, and breakage are reported, especially in windy conditions or with added weight (snow). Rust is also a mentioned issue. Some users reinforce the frame. Welding failures are reported.
• Provides shade and protection from rain: Effectively provides shelter from sun and rain. Water resistance of the canopy is confirmed by a user.
• Light-colored canopy lets in a lot of light (fabric version): Allows ample sunlight penetration.
• Long lifespan (with canopy replacement): One user reports using the pavilion for five years, replacing the canopy annually. Another user reports three years of use with canopy replacement. A third user reports four years of use.

Cons

• Canopy quality and durability: The most frequently mentioned negative aspect. Multiple reviews report easy tearing and short lifespan (one or two seasons). Replacement canopies are not consistently available. Issues include tearing at seams, especially around grommets, and general fabric fragility. The canopy fabric lacks consistent water-resistant impregnation, although one user reported it to be waterproof after the first rain. Described as "weaker than paper" and prone to disintegration from sun and rain.
• Inconsistent dimensions: Actual dimensions are smaller than advertised (reported as 2.9m x 2.9m instead of 3m x 3m; also 220cm x 220cm internally and side lengths of 190cm; also reported as 2.5m x 2.5m internally). This causes significant issues with canopy fitting. The usable space under the canopy is significantly smaller than the advertised 3x3 meters. The advertised 3m x 3m refers to the canopy, not the frame.
• Frame fragility (especially in windy areas): Prone to bending or breaking, particularly in windy conditions. Reinforcement is often suggested. Rust is also mentioned. Some welds are reported as failing. The frame is described as bending easily when tightening screws. The legs are reported as having pins that are positioned too low, leading to instability in windy conditions. Made of thin sheet metal; self-tapping screws break easily.
• Lack of replacement canopies (with caveats): Difficulty in finding replacement canopies is a major complaint, forcing users to replace the entire pavilion when the canopy is damaged. However, some users report finding replacement canopies available at JYSK for €55.
• Assembly issues: Difficulty with assembly due to asymmetric parts and difficult roof attachment are reported. The tight fit of the canopy during assembly is also a frequent complaint. Instructions are unclear for some parts. Missing holes and incorrect instructions are reported. One user notes that the roof is too small. Some users report difficulty aligning holes for assembly. Incorrectly sized canopy poles prevent proper alignment of screw holes.

Comments

The most significant issue remains the low quality and short lifespan of the canopy, exacerbated by inconsistent reports on the availability of replacements. Inconsistent dimensions, smaller than advertised, cause significant problems during assembly and result in reduced usable space. The discrepancy between advertised dimensions (referring to the canopy) and the actual usable space within the frame is a major concern. While some users mitigate issues (reinforcing the frame, using alternative canopy fixing methods, adding weights to the base), widespread canopy failure and the difficulty of obtaining replacements highlight a significant product flaw. The frame, though described as sturdy by some, is vulnerable in high winds and prone to rust, especially at welds; the thin metal construction is also a source of weakness. The perceived value decreases significantly due to the need for frequent (and potentially unavailable) canopy replacements. The lack of consistent water-resistant impregnation in the canopy fabric is also a recurring complaint. Users frequently describe the difficulty of fitting the canopy onto the frame due to its tight fit and smaller than advertised dimensions. Some users suggest using additional anchoring to improve stability in windy conditions. The assembly is described by some as being difficult and requiring multiple people, while others found it easy. Reports of rust appearing within three weeks highlight the poor quality of some units. The significant discrepancy between advertised and actual usable space is a major concern for many buyers.
