Domi 10' X 14' Hardtop Gazebo Assembly Overview

[@beautyqueen255]

Thank you Sir for taking the time to make this video! Very helpful!

[@jchavers32]

Thanks for the advice about loosening the top to slide the roofing in. Was confused on how to slide them in up there. 🤙🤙

[@aliciaphilpott4556]

Thanks for sharing. I will share with my installer.

[@VillaLumina]

Nice!!! ❤❤❤

[@kickcg]

Great video!! Thanks for taking the time to make it lots of helpful tips!

[@rbean204]

We purchased a 12x16 Domi gazebo. This video reall filled inthe blanks when the instructions were unclear. Thanks!

[@luislopez-ih5tg]

Thank you rick for the video it was much appreciated i just got the roof to do 2nd day on it

[@jjmiklovic]

Why would you not show how to put the roof panels on. That was the most confusing part and you offered no explanation

[@channeltowatch]

I was stuck on the insect screen on a job for a customer saved me some time thank you

[@stephanyweedin1720]

Omg I was stuck for about two hours here

[@dustinhollander9679]

You put the upper angle support brackets for the four main posts in backwards. The textured side should be shown same side as with the post on the outside. Helpful video to let me know what to encounter thank you.

Very good job good luck with it! They’re all pretty much similar I paid a lot more for mine Than other 12 x 16’s made by purple leaf. you all know the saying but I think they’re all the same no matter what . galvanize steel from the same country . I had a guy install it in 3 1/2 hours with a friend he knew what he was doing right off the bat. I read horror stories about a neighborhood in 5 to 7 days to put up a 10 x 12.. you did a good job I have the same issues with the netting gap I simply cutanother hole in the plastic and tied down into the other hole or you could put double-sided tape underneath and remove the screw. I had some leaks here in there the installer came back add more silicone to the two sides that have a seam on the gutter there’s one screw at the very top I can’t figure out why it’s leaking there’s a bigger top over it so can’t figure out how water is getting in.. anyway I read a good comment from a Technical guy he said dyourself a favor get a tube of silicone and silicone every screw you put in otherwise your metal to metal these things do not come with washers or anything else that goes between the screw that contacts metal he’s right locally after a month I only have one gutter seem that leaks I fixed it and the one screw drips in the center of my Gazebo so the screws coming out maybe the whole top series are getting siliconeD in.. I can’t understand how an occasional A couple of drops every now and then is getting in the center of my Gazebo I see it dripping right off the screw.🧐 Anyway you did a great job saved yourself a lot of money good luck have fun get a fan it gets hot under there a top fan if you want and definitely one that goes on the floor or stand!👍🍀

[@dustinhollander9679]

Only difference I've found is Purple leaf posts are 4.7 in compared to 3.9 of the Domi. The PL also has a gutter system. I guess that justifies the $600 dollar difference lol. We have the Domi and wind rating and snow load are still the same on both gazebos. Our is very sturdy.

[@hectorvazquez1752]

Do you need food all the Plastick Z and the roofing parts thank you for the video by the way

[@rca1070]

Sweet. Looks good and definitely picked up a few tips. I have their 12' X 16' on the way. I think I will use Blue Loctite on all threads just to make sure they stay in place. Ditto on thanks for videoing this as the same time of assembly.

[@Rickmakes]

Mine’s been holding up well. It has been through some pretty big storms with no problems.

[@wayneguy6043]

I wonder if the cedar post version is steadier?

[@mastrFlex]

Really informative build along. How well has the gazebo held up over the past year?

[@Rickmakes]

It has held up great. It has survived some pretty strong wind storms and it doesn't budge. It also gets pelted with acorns all day long but no damage since the roof panels are steel.

[@scottszoke9958]

I am having difficulty installing the fasteners (#7 in my 10x16 kit) through far enough to start the threads of the nut onto it. I watched another install video and noticed he did use the rubber spacers between the panels and the crosspieces that support the mid section of the roof panels. Did you have that issue and if so how did you work around that?

[@martyobrien3497]

Thanks for the video. Going to start on assembling ours. Did you leave tightening of all bolts until finished or tighten as you complete a section?

[@Rickmakes]

I usually tightened bolts after each section.

[@AmandaSennhenn]

I am having a hard time putting the outside trim pieces K on. Did you have the bottom perimeter screws of the roof panels out or really loose to be able to put the trim pices on? Can't get the holes to line up

[@VillaLumina]

Strapped my tv onto the gazebo post with the ZeboZAP gazebo tv mount.

[@Rickmakes]

That would be cool setup. I get too much wind to install a TV on ours. It is holding up in the wind well.

[@milkywayan2232]

Good video.

[@melah95]

Hi Rick. Do you have any tips for the roof panel’s clips popping off? I loosened the roof top to help, but those plastic parts still pop off

[@leahparry3559]

We had a really tough time with those plastic clips too. At one point I just wanted to smash them all with a hammer!

[@tanyacor8707]

hi, am trying to put together the same gazebo. finding that the z cips that attach to L1 & L2 slide all over the place and some have fallen off when trying to install L1 & L2. did you find this as well? if yes, how did you solve this? thanks!

[@Rickmakes]

It can help to hold them with a little masking tape. I haven't tried it but a small spot of hot glue might help hold them in place.

[@tanyacor8707]

@@Rickmakes thanks!

[@vipseat]

Hi, thanks for the video. Are there ties at the bottom (not the middle) of each post to secure the netting so it doesn't blow in tbe wind when closed up?

[@Rickmakes]

It doesn't have ties at the bottom.

[@chrisfilipdias]

Roof clips. How far do they go in groove? the fuzz part stick out? does it stay in? Grrr this roof is driving me crazy !

[@Rickmakes]

They should seat against the top of the groove. You might try taping them with masking tape to hold them in place while you install them. Just put the tape on in a way that you can remove it after install.

[@chrisfilipdias]

@@Rickmakes thanks Rick. I ended up figuring it out. 2 days later I have 4 panels left! Lol

[@deltalyda9101]

How much time did it take you to?

[@Rickmakes]

It took me a couple of days but that's because I was filming it. I think two people could get it done in a day or two.

[@ToadMan9000]

Does this absolutely need to be bolted down to a foundation of some sort. Or footing? I have a big gravel area that i wanna place this on and dont want anything "permanent"

[@Rickmakes]

You can stake it to the ground. If I had gravel, I would use some long spikes or even some extra long GRK lag screws. I would definitely secure it in some fashion. I've probably had wind gusts of at least 45-50+mph and it hasn't budged.

[@gfamily7645]

Just finished the frame in 4hrs lol Maybe another 4 hours on the roof panels lmao

[@banaandre]

Too bad the most difficult assembly part is not shown in this video, although rightly mentioned to be a bit "tricky".

[@mzbell870]

I'm stuck on that part as well 😒😒 but it's definitely tricky

[@chrisfilipdias]

What part is that? the roof? its driving me crazy!!

[@banaandre]

@@chrisfilipdias Indeed. You need at least two people (three is better) and a step ladder (two is better). You can swap one tall person for a step ladder or vice versa 😜.

[@dominicdinuzzo9945]

When the tape comes out you know it’s GARBAGE. 🤣

[@notadoctor2598]

Dude is reading the instructions I hate that we used to get called the meetings so some a****** could read a memo to us I'm like just f****** email it to me I never make anyone come to a meeting and read to them

[@baileycole9369]

I don't think you had enough commercials. OMGosh. I'm not gonna watch any more videos!
