What Sunjoy does

Sunjoy, founded in 2002 and headquartered in Redlands, California (with its home office and main production warehouse in China), designs, manufactures, and distributes outdoor living structures and home decor products. Its core offering is a comprehensive gazebo portfolio — wood, grill, soft-top, and hard-top variants — supplemented by pergolas, fire pits, outdoor lighting, pool accessories, and a portable air conditioner (IceCove), with a smaller indoor line spanning kitchen, vanity, and office furniture. A defining feature of the business is its in-house replacement-parts operation, with over 3,000 SKUs of canopies, sunshades, mosquito nettings, and curtains organized by retailer and sold through sunjoyshop.com under a minimum 5-year parts-availability commitment.

The company runs a hybrid go-to-market model. Distribution is anchored by major North American big-box and warehouse-club retailers (Walmart, Sam's Club, Home Depot, Costco, Lowe's, Menards, Target, BJ's, Canadian Tire, RONA), with a parallel direct-to-consumer e-commerce presence on sunjoyonline.com and sunjoyshop.com. Sunjoy is privately held under Sunjoy Group, with operating subsidiaries including Sunnest Services (U.S. customer service/warranty), Sunjoy UK, and SunWay Europe; a 2025 UK website launch and planned 2026 European push mark its first material expansion outside North America.

Product technology centers on physical-manufacturing competence: rust-proof powder-coated aluminum frames, PE rattan wicker, CPAI-84 fire-retardant fabrics, and a Kandu partnership that provides third-party gazebo assembly services in the U.S. Revenue is generated through hardware sales of full outdoor structures, replacement parts, and limited warranty service. The company claims the position of largest gazebo provider in North America; financial figures, headcount detail, and ownership structure are not publicly disclosed.
