Hi Fred. Thank you so much for watching and sharing the kind words. We really appreciate that. I'm no spring chicken myself 🤣and our audience covers all age brackets so we want to do our absolute best to make these episodes as easy as possible for all. Cheers!

[@theresebiz_videos]

Wonderful Video!! I bought the single roof design, and rewatched your video for each step. Great tips the instructions don't give. Especially helpful, bending the leg clips on base straight, the brackets easy to miss on crossbar you pointed out. Partially preassembling the roof main beams and lifting with help, different then instructions, but worked great with a few friends. I assembled the entire thing by myself except for the roof lift and I am past middle age :) Thanks for your video!! It was invaluable! - A few notes from my solo assembly, I have an L shaped back house and deck, so I was able to lean 2 wall assemblies against 2 walls. I bought the 10x12 model, and screwed the other longer free standing side into the deck, after raising and propping up with weighted ladders. Then I temporarily screwed the legs onto the deck all the way around while I assembled the rest. I used painter's tape to hold some parts on while I lined holes up. That was amazingly helpful! Especially for the end caps that hold the roof sheets on. I also used bungie cords on each corner for pressure as I struggled to line up all the layers of holes. Probably the hardest part for sure to do alone. Important note if you screw the legs down to get it upright, I would suggest unscrewing them for the rest of the assembly. I struggled for hours to get the holes lined up all the way around on the roof, but removing foot screws and allowing the whole frame to shift as needed was the key to finally getting it done. Also if you are too close to roof line to insert roof sheets, you can loosen a vertical support enough to slide in from the side. Using tape helped to keep the parts in place. Its a beautiful gazebo and I'm so excited. Thanks again for the video!

@@SpiritedWrenchers I actually bought the "ultra thick" faux wood 12x14 metal one, but unfortunately I am going to have to return it (and pay the return shipping and 20% restocking fee) because Yoleny doesnt have a phone number to change order after it was placed. I wanted to change it to the 12x16 and now I dont know what to do. Disappointing

Nice addition, and building it on the deck is a great idea! Once the girls are old enough that they don't play on the trampoline any more, I have a spot already picked out for one of these!

[@SpiritedWrenchers]

Hi Hayman. Thanks for watching and sharing the kind words. We appreciate that. To your question, it is quite possible that you installed the panels upside down. If you check out timestamp 3:35, it shows the panels as having protective covering and it shows which side should be facing the sun. Hope that helps.

[@yadiralopez563]

It turned out beautiful! My question is, can I put one of the same size on a 12x17 wooden deck and do you think there won't be much uncovered space?😊

[@SpiritedWrenchers]

Thank you for watching and sharing the kind words. We greatly appreciate it. This deck was 12x16, and we had space left over to have a grill on the outside of the gazebo coverage. Yours should fit great and allow it to be centered and secured nicely. Cheers

[@Phyrex711]

Thank you for this video! I have a question and concern though. What happens if one of those roof panels get damaged. Does Yoleny provide replacements? The phone number on their website is a dead-end and actually points to an insurance company. (Red Flag?) I'm worried that if any thing happens to this gazebo support might be nonexistent. And a Gazebo with missing or damages roof panels makes them entire thing useless. Any experience or feedback on this would be greatly appreciated. =)

[@SpiritedWrenchers]

HI Phyrex. Thanks for watching and sharing the kind words. We appreciate it. Yoleny has an email for their customer service. That is what they have recommended to me to ensure customers are reaching out to them through. I do not know about replacement panels so that will be best asked to them. If you run into a dead end, let me know and I will try my best to get an answer for you. They are a channel sponsor but we are limited with the support we can provide.

Hi Imran. Thank you very much for watching and sharing the kind words. We really appreciate it. This is out in a rural area so no permits were needed, however we have some friends that do require them in order to build them on their property. Best to contact your local permit office and inquire about these first. We would recommend for safety and security of your gazebo, the deck has footings. Hope that helps.

Hi Anna. Thank you for the watching and sharing. We really appreciate that. You pointed out two of the biggest differences outside of the cost and location of where you plan to have it, plus your particular weather. My parents love the this gazebo and the light that it allows through. We have the full metal one and it can get warm underneath it. This winter we'll be able to see how theirs does with the snow. We'll likely do a 6 month-year update video on it at that time.

I had my corrugated plastic roof gazebo for 12 or 13 years in the DC area. It survived our area snow and wind on the deck.

How do we tie middle of curtains, mine has got 2 tie wraps so doesn’t look right

[@SpiritedWrenchers]

Hi Lizzie, thank you for watching and asking this. We find that most brands and styles of gazebos don't instruct on how to properly tie the curtains back. We would recommend that you work creatively, which we know, is not a very good answer. Try first to tie the screens to themselves, then to the curtains and posts altogether. Or tie the curtains to the screens, then altogether to the posts. We did find that working creatively allowed for a tighter wrap than gazebos that specify only one way to tie/wrap the curtains. Hope this helps; take care and stay safe!

[@Crysteps]

how would this gazebo hold up in a windy weather?

[@SpiritedWrenchers]

Hi Crysteps. Thanks for watching. Your question is a pretty broad one and will be dependent on what you define as windy weather.

I'm pretty sure the manual is wrong. Because mine also shows screens on the outside but it doesn't make sense if they go on the outside because then the curtain ties would only be able to be used if the screen was also open, which kind of defeats the purpose.

Hi Alphie. Thanks for watching and sharing. We really appreciate it although we hate to hear when a manufacturing error was made. Yes, please contact Yoleny directly for some assistance with that. We hope you're able to get it resolved.

How big is your deck

[@SpiritedWrenchers]

Thanks for watching. This deck is 12x16

The holes on my end caps don’t line up. What am I doing wrong?

[@SpiritedWrenchers]

Hi Tracey. Thanks for watching. This is very challenging to troubleshoot without actually being there & putting it together ourselves. What we have found with our builds is if multiple holes don't line up, something in a previous step was either missed or placed incorrectly. We had to reverse steps to figure it out. If it were just one hole, then it might have been a manufacturing issue but for all of them, it's something with assembly. Wish we could help more.

[@traceypascal6120]

@@SpiritedWrenchers thank you for responding so quickly. We are putting together a 10x10 and when we have all three pieces together we can only see half of the pre drilled hole on frame. It’s making it hard to put together. Thanks for your feedback.

[@traceypascal6120]

I should also add, we only tried one side. I think we’ll try another side and see if the issue persists throughout or only on one side. 🤞🏼

[@SpiritedWrenchers]

@@traceypascal6120 We understand. We ran into an issue (I think we even called it out in the video) where something didn't line up and we had to take pieces off until we found our mistake. It happens. Patience is your friend with these. LOL. Hope that's all it is for yall too.

@@SpiritedWrenchers hi, we got our gazebo together. Had to bend in the ends on one corner but the others aligned. 😁🇨🇦

How is the heat inside

[@SpiritedWrenchers]

Thank you for watching and asking. We do appreciate it. This is impossible to answer as what could be a lot of heat to one could be very minimal to someone else. Compared to sitting directly in the sun, it's considerably cooler. That's the best and only comparison that could be provided short of doing a temp test between the two (which we currently do not have planned any time soon). Wish we could be of further help. Cheers

[@vickijohnson1557]

My curtains are missing the zipper. and I am also missing the connecting caps. How do I get them.

[@SpiritedWrenchers]

Hi Vicki. Thanks for watching. That's quite odd and sounds like a manufacturing error. I would contact Yoleny directly, as they should be able to provide replacements for them. Hope you're able to get the resolution you need.

[@vickijohnson1557]

@@SpiritedWrenchers , I am unable to find a phone number or email for them. Brought by my friend on Amazon as a gift for me. No instruction manuel either. That is why I watched your video to put together.

@@vickijohnson1557 I've emailed my contact at Yoleny and will also see if I can locate our instruction manual to see if there is CS info on it.

I Hage this biy the maker is OUTSUNNY..I have the entire structure up and now I'm going to install the panels top tier and they do not fit ! They are not sliding all thr way in past the bolt holes..the 4 top tier pieces. What am I doing wrong. I cant find OUTSUNNY..but thus one is the same model ..anyone help?

[@SpiritedWrenchers]

Hi. Thank you for watching and sharing. Sorry to hear about the troubles you're having with yours. We're not sure we understand the bolt holes part and which panels you're attempting to slide in but could you email us pictures of what you're running into? Our email is in the video description. We'll do our best to help.

[@SpiritedWrenchers]

I also found this for Outsunny in the event you'd like to contact them directly. You can also call us during our normal business hours: Monday-Friday, 6AM-4PM PST at [phone] to speak to one of our US-based customer service agents.

[@RealiTEAwithKristaMarie]

@@SpiritedWrenchers hi so the top tier .there is 4 polycarbonate roof panels. When I slide them in. They won't fit all the way in and so they are hanging too far past where I need to bolt them in to the corners ?? The 4 pieces are not sliding all the way up past the bolt holes .did that help ?

[@RealiTEAwithKristaMarie]

@@SpiritedWrenchers oh good. I'll kerp that in mind.too ..it looks like I would have to cut the panels to fit. But I know that's not correct...Maybe I should not tighten all thr bolts that are holding the roof pieces together??

[@SpiritedWrenchers]

Yes, keep the bolts loose until you have all the panels in. Then go back and tighten. You shouldn't have to cut anything. If something doesn't line up or slide in, go back, loosen or taken brackets off until you figure out what is off.

What are the dimensions of the deck

[@SpiritedWrenchers]

Thanks for watching. Deck is 12x16.

[@peterstangierski]

3 people how much time to assemble??

[@SpiritedWrenchers]

Peter, this will depend on more variables than I can count. We share in this video how long it took us to assemble it with all the breaks we took.

[@garyrodriguez185]

What size is the deck that you built for your 10 x 13? May I ask

[@SpiritedWrenchers]

Hi Gary. Thanks for watching and asking. No problem at all with sharing. it's a 12x16. Hope that helps.

[@garyrodriguez185]

@@SpiritedWrenchers 12 is the length and the 16 is the width

[@garyrodriguez185]

Because I’m using 10‘ L 3.9‘ W pallets heavy duty as my base I’m probably using 5/8 plywood as the floor I’m not a carpenter by no means if you can help me out appreciate it. Have a great day.

[@SpiritedWrenchers]

@garyrodriguez185 it's actually 12' w and 16' long. My Dad wanted extra space on one end for a grill to sit. Hope that helps

[@SpiritedWrenchers]

@garyrodriguez185 Hopefully my other answer helps. We would recommend having the width and length be a little wider than the gazebo so it's not at the edge of your platform.

[@davidbrodbeck7212]

how touch is polycarbonate roof panels I live in the northeast snow and rain storms and winds .

[@SpiritedWrenchers]

Hello David, thanks for watching and commenting! We installed this gazebo in southern Illinois, which does see some severe wind, storms, and snow. Yoleny notes that the snow load on the roof is 2 inches on the double roof (as in our video here) and 3 inches on their single roof polycarbonate gazebos. We love that this roof design allows for some light to come through, but blocks all the UV rays making it noticeably cooler under the gazebo than out in the sun. Let us know if you have any other questions; take care and stay safe!

[@gregorybigbrowndriver4934]

Can the ties at the bottom of the screen curtain tie around the posts when it is zippered shut? It doesn’t seem to work for us

10:37 super pain in the ass. Design flaw in my opinion.

[@SpiritedWrenchers]

Hi Wayne. Thanks for watching and sharing. We would agree that these could be a big pain in the back side and one that could have been designed differently. Certainly requires you to slow down and take your time or pay the cost for going too fast. Did you build one recently?

[@waynemiller6070]

@@SpiritedWrenchers It was not exactly the same brand but much of it was identical. I was able to use a ball end "Allen" driver for some of the screws inside the legs. And to be fair, many of my roof panels had corners that were pretty dorked up. They were packaged pretty well but Federal Express probably wasn't as careful as necessary. I will say the tip about putting in the screws around the edges of the roof before going back and adding the corners or the joining brackets was VERY helpful. I hadn't thought of that and after watching your video the process was a much easier. Thank you. Now I have to decide whether or not it's worth it to request replacement panels for the damaged ones. I suppose I would notice it more than others would.

[@SpiritedWrenchers]

@@waynemiller6070 Thanks for sharing. We personally are not fans of Fed Ex. Every car part or product that has been damaged via shipping came through Fed Ex. If I were you, I would contact them to get replacement panels. Not sure if they can charge that back to the shipper since you have it assembled already but I would definitely let them know and I hope you can get some replacements for it. We're thankful we were able to help you with your build. That's a successful mission in our books. Cheers!
