Gazebo: Polycarbonate to steel roof panels conversion
This is how to update the roof of a gazebo from poly-carbonate to galvanized steel using the original frame of the gazebo.
The polycarbonate panels do not last more than 2 years and they get damaged easily by the Canadian winter!

Video on how to replace the rear hatch release switch. GM part 22864426. I soldered the wires to have a reliable contact. You can crimp the wires if you have the tool.

How to replace the cable that controls the release of the full door. This is for a Outlander 2007 to 2012.
This freaking happened to me in buffalo and then the whole thing crashed in! What a mess!
Thanks for the video!
The video you refer to taking off the trim is not available
It is tricky to type! This is the link: th-cam.com/video/u7cSm7IR8Lg/w-d-xo.html
Merci.
Which wires go to which? Which color ?
It is a on /off switch. The wires color is not important in this case.
I saw your video and I think it was excellent, I want to do the same project with my 10x12 gazebo, since the roof is made of Polycarbonate and is quite damaged, if you have more details about this project I would appreciate this.
Hi, thank you for the helpful video. Which wire goes with the blue and the yellow on the new piece? My old piece has purple and gray wires.
The color of the wires are not important in this case. It is a ON/OFF switch.
I have no idea what this video is helping me fix
This is our weekend project (we are in Qc and have hailstone almost every summer). We had a lots of holes and wanted something better than polycarbonate roof. Thank you for your video.
im in the exact same situation, those polycarbonate panel are hard to find and expensive.. mine are all damed from the sun and winter
Thank you for such enlightening video!!! Hopefully, I won't have to take have of my vehicle apart
I can confirm that this works. I used 'Domtek' lo-rib metal panels (3/8" high ribs). It can be done with 6 sheets @ 8' long if cut correctly. You need to cut a small slot (3/8"-1/2" long) to each side of each rib, then crimp down the rib slightly with a pair of pliers so it fits snug into the slots of the gazebo(the slots are 0.300" and the metal ribs are 0.375") I am in Canada, my gazebo is 10x12, I bought 8 panels @ $36 ea and am returning 2.
I am only seeing 24"×8ft peices from Rona. Did you use 36"x8ft?
@@KalsFD panels were 36"x8ft Domtek "lo-rib".
I found them but they are $75 not $36
@@KalsFD steel market has gone crazy in the last year, I'm not surprised with the price change.
How much will ot cost for everything? I have the same problem. Good job
It will be around 600$ since that panel are now 60$ each and you need 8. Also you need the screws.
Thank you Sir! This video boosted my confidence so I can replace the cable myself!
i have the same problem here in scotland i have a 3m x 3m gazeebo and a few years ago we had 90mph winds and some of my polycarbon roofing sheets ripped of my gazeebo and broke i have been hunting for polycarbon sheets but there expensive to replace i have to replace them all with a new pack its the cost of a new gazeebo as they dont do them invividual sheets unless you go to your merchants i have been rattling my brain to what i can use as a substitute in replacing them disgusting polycarbon plastic sheeting to a stronger and sustainable source of roof
Nice job, I need to do the same since my polycarbonate panels have holes. I don't quite understand the part about cutting and forming the rolled edge? Are you cutting off and notching out the humps in the steel since they won't fit in the horizontal tracks that are half way up the roof?
Yes , you need to make 2 cuts in each bump. Then using a pliers, you bend the top down in a way that it can slide inside the horizontal track.
How did the roof survive? Did it keep the rain out?
It is still fine after 2 winters ( snow, Ice, rain, high winds)
Nice job. Was looking for a solution to this issue. Shall be a project for the near future. The sheets have gone up though. 40$ each. Oh well. Still cheaper than replacement panel kit (if available)
Exactly the solution I was looking for! Merci!
Hi! Thanks for the video. I have the same gazebo model, except 10' x 14', and the same problem with the polycarbonate roof. I was tempting to use simple pine panels (stained with waterproof outdoor paint), which is easy to cut to the sizes needed. Cedar would be better but more expensive and difficult to find with the correct thickness. For instance, these pine panels are sold in many hardware store like Homedepot www.homedepot.ca/product/alexandria-moulding-lambris-pin-noueux-8-pi-v-joint-avec-rainure-et-languette-5-16-x-4-ens-de-6/1000131010. Here, the thickness of the wood panels is the same thickness as the polycarbonate panels, i.e. 8 mm (5/16”). The galvanized steel you are referring is ½” (12.7mm) on peaks. See drawing from Canac… www.canac.ca/en/victoria-steel-roofing-8-ft-5501 . So, my question is, was it a problem to fit the galvanized steel panels in the rails? Also, what do you think of the pine panel idea?
Hello, pine wood is not very good for outside project unless it is pressure treated with some chemical. I could not find any type of pressure treated wood that fit in the rail of the gazebo. That is why I used the galvanized steel. I did not have any trouble fitting the steel panes on the side rails. There is an edge on the panel that fit directly in the rail. Then, when you cut the other side, it was always in the thin part of the panel. Good luck with your project!
@@Outlander-Qc Makes perfect sense. Apart from being easier to work with the wood, the galvanized steel will do much better and last longer for sure. Will take your advice! Thanks a lot for the quick response! Enjoy the summer, if it can come one day :)
Hello how did this hold up over the winter? I am in an area that gets heavy snow sometimes
It is fine! There was over 16 inches of hard pack snow during our winter on the roof of the gazebo and it did not have any damage.
@@Outlander-Qc i guess problem is not the metal sheet but the gazebo structure that need to hold the snow weight!! One winter i kept my poly carbonate panel, but i had to brace the structure and shovel the top after snowstorm.
Thanks for the video!
Very nice !!! But how do you secure the metal sheet with the roofing screws? Do you put additionnal horizontal wooden beam?
My gazebo already have metal horizontal rails. So I put 1 screw in each panel to hold it in place.
I've had this problem for a while, it went away for about a year, and now it's back, so I'm going to get that part ordered right now, and give it a shot....THANKS!!!
Thank you very much Sir, This is the one and only tutorial in that specific subject. It really help me,I follow exactly everything, however it took me longer to attach the end of the cable near fuel door, had to figure out how to do it, it was not specified in here.But it was very helpful, you are very talented for providing information, thank you very much once again.
Thanks!
Big thanks🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Merci pour la vidéo vraiment utile et ton accent francophone paraît presque pas hahaha
Hi, if you don't mind can you post the link to where to buy the steel panels? I am on rona.ca but can't find them. Thanks.
www.rona.ca/fr/vic-west-revetement-dacier-profile-steel-victoria-36-x-8-galvanise-53064-50465016 I am in Quebec. Not sure if it is available in the other province.
Can you update us on heat while under the gazebo? Is the metal roof cooler than the poly roof? Thanks!
Yes, the steel panels are cooler than the original panels. Now we can sit under the gazebo when it is very hot outside.
Good stuff, very useful. Pis quelle estie de place de marde pour un cable en fer... dans le sel.
Thank you so much 🙄😁
Thanks did it in 20 minuits
Great video. God Bless.
HUGE Thanks! You've helped me a lot!
Again many thanks a very comprehensive video. C’t’au boutte !
Great Video. My wife's Outlander is a POS. Glad I can fix this myself instead of paying them more money for this LEMON. WILL NEVER BUY A MITSUBISHI AGAIN!
where can i buy the cable?
This is very helpful! Thank you so much :)
