Always start w the center panels and work your way outwards on each side. The center panels set the whole side. I highly recommend Tapcon anchors to secure the gazebo or pergola if its concrete.

[@Th3Puck]

Thanks! I installed a similar Pavilion/Pergola on my new terrace and anchored it using expanding concrete anchors (they came with the pergola). My terrace is 10cm/4 inch thick concrete/mortar with 2cm/0.8inch ceramic tiles on top. Do you think I need to waterproof the holes I made to stop water getting under the tiles, freezing and lifting them up over time?

[@snaLee1]

Good advise. Thanks I am planning to install same gazebo 10x12 on my existing 16x16 floating pressure treated lumber deck made in 2023, deck sitting on deck block foundation. I will be placing my 10x12 gazebo in the middle of the deck & not on any one side of rim joist. My concern is my gazebo 4 posts/ legs will be just standing on the deck board and not on any joists. My question is How do I reinforce my decking board, so I can securely attach my 4 posts with 4 anchors/post securely, hence my deck is well anchored during heavy winds & storms. I Live in Detroit/WindsorON location. Plz advise. Awaiting eagerly for your advice.

[@erniewyles8832]

@@snaLee1 if you're able to, go under the deck and connect the across two joists where the legs would be. This gives you something to screw into. If you can't go under the deck, that may be difficult then.

[@phox1515]

I just finished assembling one of these (different brand but same concept) a few days ago... Your drill bit suggestion was a life saver! Not to mention I also learned the purpose of those number settings on drill... 34 years old, been using power tools since my early teens and only just learned that haha. Thanks so much for the tips! I'd like to also advise, be careful with some of the aluminum parts can bend / pinch easy and if they do.... You're not going to be happy. I had to bend / fix several parts that the roof panels slid on. I also want to say... Instructions said 3 people.... Did it with 1.5 (my mother helped and she claims she is only worth half a person haha. Overall it wasn't as bad as I was expecting.

I figured everyone knew about Allan key bits, my Milwaukee bit kits have been coming with these bits for 10+ years. Saves so many hours of work.

I respect the fact that instead of you using the drill bit tool you use the backup bit to show us that it actually does work, mad respect.

The tips here really helped us build our gazebo yesterday. Still took us like 7 hours but without this video it would have taken much much longer. Thank you!

[@haugwoods]

@Home RenoVision DIY I have almost the same Gazebo from Costco and some of the center roof panels are not bolted down on both sides but held down by the adjacent panels... If you are in a windy area like I am, that doesn't work. Since i am not interested in searching for my gazebo roof in the neighborhood, I tied them down with zip ties to the frame. Holes for the ties to go through are already stamped in the panels. Little hack great benefit.

I installed (by myself!) the 10x12 purple leaf gazebo this weekend (during constant rain)- your video was the best one that I viewed. You provided actual close up installation video and tips on installation - the highlights for me were not tightening hardware (leave "loose") installing the roof in stages and to work from the middle panels first (so screws could be installed and reached!) also location of the ladder - all great comments and suggestions. I hired our long time builder to dig footings and he was astounded that it was "perfectly square" when he measured - I never touched a level - just the followed the directions and your "tips" - thank you so much!

[@rconcord9]

Well done 👏🏻👏🏻 good tips ! For a one (or two) person installation, I think the biggest tip is to TAKE YOUR TIME !! Don’t be in a rush, and by following a lot of your tips, you should be ok.

[@traviscaudill8945]

Using the drill is a must, if you want to be even faster and happier while building go ahead and pull all the hardware out of the plastic and put it in some labeled plastic bowls or get some of the metal magnetized trays to hold them. That way you not trying to look at the labels on the front of the plastic after the back is open and you're not struggling to get the screws free from the plastic the whole time.

Sojag also makes a winter cover for these. It turns the gazebo into a winter shed in the offseason. Used mine for last three years and works great!

[@infosociety2112]

Have you had any issues with the snow building up on the roof, or did you always clear it after every snow fall?

[@SmokinTrailsNS]

[@kickcg]

Excellent no nonsense video!! Thank you sir! Wish all instructional videos were as well as yours! 👍🤛🏻

[@chuey9313]

Nice job. Only thing I would've done differently to save more time, would be instead of labeling the bolts by pocket, I would label them by number 1-4. Still keep them in your pockets, but just work clockwise by number/pocket. Front left=1, front right=2, rear right=3, and rear left=4. This way you're not calling out middle left as a hole location, and then someone calling back front right as a bolt location. Not only could that get a bit confusing, but them just calling out a number is quicker as well. Every second adds up, but you still did great on time either way.

[@perfctgamer]

Good build! Took you more than 3h30 (more like 4h30). Gazebo assembly's are all different even if they look similar so make sure to always follow every step of the manual in order to prevent losing time. (Check twice, install once). Also, this is a very simple model, don't get fooled into thinking they are all this fast. The fast majority of models of 10 x 10 will take a good 5-6 hours with the proper material.

Last year we installed a similar 10x12 one. A nail set puch was really useful to align the roof pannels before screwing them down. And yah we used screwdrivers with Allen key bits, it was quite a workout! Thx for all the videos!

[@noellanmcdaniel9055]

2 of us built a 12 x 20 like this over top and existing hot tub. You cannot put weight on a hot tub cover. We wound up buying our garage shelving units to use as scaffolding to work above hot tub. What a process! Yes everything stays loose till final step . Don't forget gloves with metal sheets. We didn't remove letter stickers so 3 years later it is still the alphabet palace haha well worth the challenge installing it!

[@AGlimpseInside]

Occasionally, you will definitely find those star bits will work perfectly with Allen key screws. Another thing you can do is buy a cheap set of allen keys, and angle grind them into pieces and just simply Chuck them in the drill. But I know you guys knew that as he did. Pretty cool piece of furniture. I definitely need it at my local Costco soon.

Installed that one with my FIL. The 14 feet one. I took 2 entire weekends. Sir is "never wrong", so needless to say we basically built it 3 times!

[@flatwaretech]

I'm gonna catch flack for this, but I couple the allen key bits with a 4V screwdriver (Ryobi) when assembling furniture. The reduced power prevents over-torqueing the fastener / stripping the threads when you run the drill in high speed. As you say; right tool for the right job.

[@Tonisuperfly]

I had an ikea drill which was small, that I think would perform a similar function. They had a screwdriver too but I never owned it. I used that drill so much and it was so handy, even while travelling in a small campervan. I tried to fly it back from the UK with me but it was confiscated because the battery isn't removable. Damn I miss that thing... (we don't have ikea in New Zealand yet).

[@mikefeddersen2476]

​@@TonisuperflyTSA should have a shipping option for all that have items they would like sent on. I lost a nice pocket knife, I heard of a woman that lost a family heirloom antique sewing kit. The post office sells boxes that let you ship whatever fits inside for a standard price. It's really irresponsible on the government's part.

[@eastcoastmodz5195]

27:33 Suggestion would be to use a socket and a Drive Spinner Handle. This would be much easier to tighten or hold the nut in place. Pliers will just slip off and scratch the product.

[@1252PFC]

Suggestion for next project - outdoor kitchen with stove, mini fridge and counter tops...that protected from the elements and screened in to keep bugs away yet allows for air flow.

[@stephaniehenry5617]

Great informative video. I will be using your suggestions. But what if you have a hot tub under the gazebo that reinforcement pole cant be used, what then?

[@shellderp]

Allen key driver bits are a huge time saver. I use my impact driver on screwdriver setting, never stripped anything. What I'd like to know about more is how to know where it is safe to screw down the posts on an existing deck

[@dmitrikarpov5037]

Great instructions and tips! Where did you get such a nice support pole? Was it included with the gazebo? If you bought, please share. Thank for the video.

[@Rocksolidhandyman]

As a self employed professional handyman, I use this trick all the time, I easily make in a couple hours what most employed tradesmen make in 10 hrs! My hourly rate is $100 an hour for jobs that I do by the hour but jobs like this, I usually double the price of the materials. I just did a contemporary gazebo from Costco and I charged $2500 for the labor and I made that in a couple days minus $400 for my laborer. Hope that helps some of you price these jobs out and price yourself out.

[@amerlin388]

Tip, don't open your bubble pack of nuts/bolts/screws on a deck that has gaps the pieces can fall through. Incidentally, I once collected the nuts & bolts from a pool pump I was working on into a magnetic tray. Remembered AFTER they flew everywhere that such pieces are stainless steel.

Excellent project! Thank you for sharing. A quick question, you guys are worried about snow load, rightfully so but what about high winds? Say around 30-40 mph, do you feel that it would be secure enough for that?

[@pcl1717]

We're located just outside of Toronto, Canada. We've got a similar but larger (10 x 14) Sojag aluminum double roof gazebo on our wood deck. Snow load hasn't been an issue (it's black and the sun helps melt away a lot of the snow). We've also experienced windy days with consistent 70-90km/h (45-55mph) winds. No issues whatsoever.

[@Ryan-mn6on]

We got a display model a from Menards a couple years back. It certainly was a challenge. We have ours on grass and we drove down a couple of those screw ground anchors and put some ratchet straps on them and it has lasted no problem in high winds like gusts of 60+ MPH.

Don’t plan on doing it myself, but your good tips will alert me to the “competency” of the installers I hire to do the job (right, I hope). Btw- Lowe’s dept store installers quoted me $1,000 and that included securing the posts.

[@stevec404]

I have talked with several people who have had their gazebo roofs leak. Would a bead of something like a flexible (silicone?) caulk be effective in stopping leaks - used as the roof panels are installed and joined together.

[@CopperCanyonTerrapins]

Hey Jeff, great video as always! I have really enjoyed this deck build/outdoor living space series! Curious why you went with the all aluminum over the yardistry aluminum/wood gazebos? I'm looking at a 12x12 or 12x16 to put on my back deck (I'm going to build using these videos) and just wanted some input.

[@hdaji]

Excellent Video - Learned few Tips that was helpful. Instead, we bought ours CTC Product which is almost the same. Installation took us just over 4 hours. My question is where did you get the roof supporting rod. If we have a full Gazebo Cover, would I still need to get this supporting rod in the center of the roof?

[@ohu8one221]

So I like the little added bonus for supporting snow with the pole. Can you make any suggestions for hurricane areas. I lost my last gazebo on Beryl in Houston. Well I lost the cover first as it was cloth and shredded like Eddie VanHalen on a good night. So I ordered a new one and tossed up a tarp. Funny thing is I was going to change it this weekend and Rain filled the tarp and now I have a twisted scrap pile of metal so I'm going hard top. Also in this video, I saw you put in a hook in the top center. Can it be changed with a bolt? I like to attach an electrical box to run power and hook up a ceiling fan with an extension to keep it cool. The 12v fans are very light and effective if you add an additional 10-15" extension bar.

[@jason01095]

Hi, great video! I built one of these on my deck a couple of years ago now, and love it. The one item I need to get is the "winter support pole/jack" (not sure what it is actually called). I'm searching but only finding 150-200lb max support weights. Would you mind providing the brand and name of the one you used in this video, or better yet, maybe an affiliate link? Many thanks!

[@woofer13]

I hope you found what you're looking for, but if you didn't- use Google. I tried two different phrases- "pole jack" and "jack pole" and found plenty of choices to pick from. You probably have a Home Depot or Lowe's near you. Go to either place. There are more than enough that support weight way over 200 lbs.

Another good tip is using a 3/8 socket mag bit. And just using an Allen key socket. However these bits have an advantage of not being as thick as a socket is. Cheers

[@cjmmjc2131]

when you did the roof supports it would have been easier to put all for on the apex plate, and tighten them down. . Get it on the frame and attach two screw to opposite poles on a roof support. then you go back and align and tighten. I put all 4 of my roof supports up alone. And correct you dont tighten up ANYTHING. And you best have a 18 to 20 ft framing square handy.. And I notice that you dont have the plastic/metal clips that go on the top edge of the roof panels

[@dell177]

Almost 20 years ago I had to replace the buckets and brackets p\on a mail sorting machine. There were 120 of these and each had a2 10mm bolts. I went over and found a crap 10mm nut driver and sawed the handle off. I then used a battery drill with that "socket and did all tthat work ion jig time. I just hand threaded the bolt on a thread or two and then used the driver to tighten everything down. All the threads were clean because we had just removed the bolts so we didn't need any power to "chase" threads.We got all those done in 2-1/2 hours because of the time saved y using the driver. Work smarter not harder.

[@pabadear]

Do you have a video or similar showing the actual anchoring process? Just finished assembling my gazebo as well on a floating deck and need some guidance on how to anchor it correctly. Does it have to be on top of the deck framing or would using expansion bolts on the deck boards enough? I live in NJ where I experience all 4 seasons. Thanks!

My family and I are building a gazebo now like you have in the video and Our roof required the spacers in between the metal roof pieces, so im wondering does this part absolutely help with roof stability or is this not a must to do?

What is that long yellow tool you use to reinforce the roof for bad weather?

I have the same one. I placed it on my back deck. I had to take it off to place the roof on it and put it back on.
