am I able to adjust the height of the posts on each side so that the whole unit is level? our concrete deck is not level because it's sloped for rainwater. ... also can I attach the whole thing to the house easily enough?

@Myksgarage Жыл бұрын

You would have to place something under the legs to adjust with the slope. It may not be that easy to attach to a house.

@myhealthobs5290 Жыл бұрын

@@MyksgarageI understand the legs can be cut, to suit slopes, the treads go all the way up the leg. That's what I was told by supplier.

How does it do in the wind? I’m sensitive to noise and am curious if you ever hear any rattling of louvers or metal parts?

@jordankeller6613 9 ай бұрын

@@Myksgarage Thanks, so aside from a little noise while operating the louvers they are pretty solid in the wind once they are set? What would you estimate the biggest wind they have seen since you’ve had it?

@plumbondrums 9 ай бұрын

I installed two 10x13s on an elevated deck and unfortunately one failed in high winds. This is in the mountains of Colorado where it's not uncommon to get 80 mph+ gusts. I'm going to be adding diagonal bracing to the one that is still standing. I would recommend doing the same if you live in a place with high winds.

@jordankeller6613 9 ай бұрын

@@plumbondrums thanks for the info. What was the nature of the failure? Did the frame itself collapse? Or just louvre damage?

@plumbondrums 9 ай бұрын

@@jordankeller6613 I'll try to keep it brief. There's a few things here. It was a structural failure of the frame. The corner of the post, above where they cut the post to accept the beams, sheared. My guess is the constant micro shakes caused by the wind caused the shear. Similar to bending a piece of metal over and over again. The 'L' shaped piece that caps the top of the post ripped away from one of the little screws. Once that shear happened it caused one side to buckle. I think with the weight of all the louvers and possibly snow - all it took was one big gust of wind to bring it down. It's important to note that I knew it might push the product to far to use it in an environment that's windy and with snow accumulation. I installed these at a cabin that we don't spend time at during the winter months. There very well may have been snow on the top (I do keep the louvers open) that put the final nail in the coffin. My gut told me to add some bracing when I put them up; however, I liked the simple aesthetic. I wouldn't steer anyone away from the product and would use them again. I think in 90% of installs it is perfectly fine. A product spec sheet with wind and snow load information would have been helpful (maybe that exists?). I still have one that is standing just fine and the one that fell may be salvageable by bending some things back and shoring it up with wood. Despite it coming down the finish is still flawless. Hope this helps.

I have a back patio that has pavers. How would this be anchored to the ground with the pavers? Would I need to pour cement first before anchoring?

in both videos you mention anchoring but we see you never actually anchored it. did you decide to just leave it unanchored?

@Myksgarage 8 ай бұрын

I never anchored it because I ended up selling it. As you can see from the video I had an existing gazebo in my yard and this company sent it to me to do a review and I didn't need both in my yard.
