Great video! I have looked at the Sun Joy gazebos for a. couple of years and your video is a LOT more helpful than the online instructions. I only wish you would have spent some time talking about to best way to anchor these gazebos. Yours sits on a very flat deck. But what if we are looking at other surfaces? Do they require footings? How do you keep them from becoming fancy sailboards in high winds…you know, these kind of questions. Maybe you can do a follow up video?
A lot of people are asking about anchoring down the Gazbo. Yes, you definitely want to anchor it into concrete with wedge anchors or it will blow away in high winds. I don’t know if Washington has high winds so maybe he did not need to anchor it to the deck. In my state the winds would rip that out of the deck.
I would also mention about starting with a level surface. For me i have a flag stone patio that has a pretty decent pitch to it for drainage. 100% if I put this up the back left would nee to be raised up a few inches. there would be various solutions to this obviously.
I am fully impressed! It’s just a complete th-cam.com/users/postUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 plan with the best resources and step by step instructions . These shed plans are so satisfying as if the sheds build themselves on their own. Worthy work Ryan!
Similar question to a few others. Did you anchor this to your deck? Do the Sunjoy post brackets have holes to anchor it to concrete or wood decking? Great vid, thx!
Awesome description of how to assemble gazebo. Thank you for saving us so much time and headache. I really appreciate people like you, you guys make this world much easier. Have a great day my friend, next week i will start assembling my Gazebo.
Here in Kansas, those are temporary. we have bad wind storms that destroy gazebos, privacy fences & roofs. I have a pergola that is concreted in the ground & still some of the top lumber gets ripped apart almost every year.
Did you have to align the footings with your deck joists? Any concerns with the composite boards sagging under the weight of this gazebo? Also, did you modify the shape of your deck? I remember from your other video where you built it, it was rectangular.
Turned out great! Love the look, and assembly didn't seem too overwhelming. I've been wanting to buy something like this, but where I live (out in the middle of the CA desert). I still haven't figured out a way to secure something like this to the ground, without having to pour a concrete pad. Our winds are fierce, and nothing to take lightly. A friend built his own, but used some type of deck, or foundation block, and buried them. Should note that his does not have roofing panels, just joists, so I don't know how much of a difference it makes, when it comes to the wind, and the way it is secured to the ground. ❤️🌵☀️⛈️🌈☮️🐎
I would say regular anchors but this will not survive winds of more than 50 mph anyways, their carports are only rated for like 31 mph which is horrible....never mind just looked it up this gazebo is also rated for 31 mph
Is it possible to shorten up the beams without comprising structural durability. So say cut 1’ off a 10x12 and make it a 9x12 so to fit in a smaller patio area.
I did mine by my self in one full day. Only thing challenging was 2 roof panels.(not counting concrete) I even raised it up 2 feet from dirt with 6 feet concrete pillars so when it rains. Mine is a different brand but they are almost all the same. Wood looks easier to put together.
I’m presently constructing the exact same sunjoy gazebo. Didn’t yours come with four steel corner braces for the top of the posts? I can see that eliminating them would make the job easier.
Can you buy just the roof section? I would like to convert my 11 x 13 soft top to a hard top. I think with the premade roof I can modify it easily to work if I could buy just the top.
I have been looking for a gazes for our deck and I think that this one might be it. Love your channel and all the information that you can learn from it. Keep doing what you’re doing Brent!
I have just the roofing because HD didn't send the wood framing the first time. They sent me a complete replacement but they said i can keep the extra roofing. Just wondering if i can just build my own wood framing. Any idea?
I’ve always wanted one of these, too! I also live in rainy Washington state, so I’m curious to know if you hear the raindrops on the roof…is it super loud?…it sure is beautiful and I’m still considering this. Thanks for sharing!
Where does the water do? Is there a gutter system? Looks like the water comes down the panel into a metal L beam. If the water sits in three it will rust out very soon.
I’ve been thinking about getting one of these. Please let us know how well it holds up over time. Also just wanted to say I’ve leaned a lot from your videos. Hoping to build a deck like the one you did before summer is out.
NICE JOB, LOVE IT. MY WIFE AND I WANT TO GET ONE OF THESE ON OUR PATIO. ONE QUESTION, OUR PATIO HAS A PITCH SLIGHLY. WHAT IF ITS NOT ON FLAT GROUND? IS THERE A WAY TO LEVEL IT OUT? ITS A POOL PATIO.. THANKS.
I am stuck on step 26 Attached Twist Brackets They don't align up with gaps on top and on some post gap is on the bottom. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Hello - I just got the same gazebo and after getting the whole thing assembled, I can't get the lower roof panels to line up evenly. I've gone so far far as to loosen every bolt on the undercage just to see if I could shift it slightly, but when I get the left flat, the right lifts up, and so on. And the mfg doesn't answer the phone. Any ideas please?
Im really interested in purchasing the 13x15. It looks like this is sold under many names and brands. Sunjoy, Costco, Waiyfair, Amazon. Thing is, some say cedar but others say spruce. Some day ceder but then in the image slides it says spruce. The long beams look weak. That is not a very stiff beam. A 2x6 solid ceder would be better. Im torn between buying this, or building my own. But it would cost me WAY more than $2200 to build a 13x15 solid cedar copy. And I would have to build the roof. We've been using coleman canopys - the most durable ones weve found. Two destroyed in rainstorms so far :(
I didn’t show that because I just tacked it in place with a couple screws for now. The kit comes with steaks as well if you place this on grass/dirt. Thanks for asking Todd.
Its so funny, I just finished one of these last week, I see you made the same mistake I did by not checking the direction of the post layout for the angle supports, I noticed you had holes on the finished inside of the post, I did the same thing. Instructions were not very clear.
I wish the promo code still worked. Looks like it doesn't work for that exact gazebo that you made. I was looking forward to purchasing it. Excellent instruction video!
Tbh, it's confusing because the website advertising the gazebo states that it has a 3735 snow load capacity, but the assembly manual states that the gazebo is for shade and decoration but not madefor harsh weather such as high wind and snow. I 'm just about done assembling mine, and I live in NE, so I'm sure I'll find out come winter.
Great work as always Brent!! Your drone work is becoming spot on!! Will be copying that idea of yours for sure!! Great selling tool!! Congrats matey on another quality job!!
I went to purchase the gazebo with your link, but it takes me to just the home page. I chose another similar gazebo on their site and tried using your offer code, but that didn’t work either…just fyi.
Well made video with details and tips, thank you! Curious, where is the SunJoy Group company located? From a fellow Washingtonian - Mount Vernon in the beautiful Skagit County!
I'm not a DIY guy but watching this gives me confidence to buildi this. Very well produced video Thanks!
Pa nj de area....I do these everyday
Its easy just read directions and everything is predrilled
diy with instructions 😂

Nice work! Can you also share how to anchor the gazebo to the deck? That might be necessary and coded in some area. Thanks!
Use the appropriate bit for the material and screw/bolt it down.

.
How did you anchor it?!!!!
Nice work and good detailed instructions. You’re correct a video is much better than paper instructions! 👍🏼
Couldn’t agree more. Thanks so much for watching
@@BYOToolsis the link where to order in the video. Thank you for sharing
What a beautiful location with all those lovely trees, I can see why you would want an outdoor area like that to enjoy it.
How’s the , gazebo holding up . I have concrete to secure the legs ? Wish u could have shown , options on drilling the holes for legs
Thx
Awesome description of how to assemble gazebo. Thank you for saving us so much time and headache. I really appreciate people like you, you guys make this world much easier. Have a great day my friend, next week i will start assembling my Gazebo.
The assembly on this one is very friendly for diy, nice to see some companies are making it simpler for the customer!
How did you anchor the posts unto the deck? I live in an area with hurricanes
@BYOT, what did they supply to anchor down the uprights with? And, does the wood need to be treated at all for weather, or, can it be stained?
Here in Kansas, those are temporary. we have bad wind storms that destroy gazebos, privacy fences & roofs. I have a pergola that is concreted in the ground & still some of the top lumber gets ripped apart almost every year.
How heavy is it.. should I want to anchor it to the ground or is it heavy enough to withstand weather and not blow away.
How well does it hold up in strong winds?
Excellent video/demonstration, very informative. What is the post base dimension between holes for the metal base.
Great video, . Can you tell me where I can buy one of these Gazebo.
Did you have to align the footings with your deck joists? Any concerns with the composite boards sagging under the weight of this gazebo?
Also, did you modify the shape of your deck? I remember from your other video where you built it, it was rectangular.
Anyone know what type of snowload these will take on the roof?
Turned out great!

❤️🌵☀️⛈️🌈☮️🐎
I would just anchor it with stakes and ropes to ground, if it is over grass.
How do you anchor it to the deck or porch for areas with tornadoes?
I would say regular anchors but this will not survive winds of more than 50 mph anyways, their carports are only rated for like 31 mph which is horrible....never mind just looked it up this gazebo is also rated for 31 mph
Do the post brackets give you the ability to attach them to your deck?
Thanks for making the job easier by your good instruction. Love the gazebo.
Nice job! Great pace with video and great verbal, along with visual instruction and tips.
Is it possible to shorten up the beams without comprising structural durability. So say cut 1’ off a 10x12 and make it a 9x12 so to fit in a smaller patio area.
it was good hearing Mariam Makeba's song Patta Pat being played.

I love to get the exact as yours so I can just follow the wY you installed yours so I don't mess up .
I’m presently constructing the exact same sunjoy gazebo. Didn’t yours come with four steel corner braces for the top of the posts? I can see that eliminating them would make the job easier.
im thinking about getting on of these kits. but i was wondering would it be possible to assemble the roof first and then attach it to the base ?
Did you anchor the support beams to your deck?
Can you buy just the roof section? I would like to convert my 11 x 13 soft top to a hard top. I think with the premade roof I can modify it easily to work if I could buy just the top.
Hi dear ,do we have to permit to a casino in small back yard? Dear
Is a permit required for this?

Pa nj de...I do these everyday
@@mrgabagoo8905troll!
You are a funny individual
I helped my buddy put one of these up... it was a nice kit and went together pretty well.
Wonder if you're able to anchor this to concrete.
how did you secure the post to the composite deck board?
Did you secure this to the decking?
I got the same one about 3 weeks ago! And I love it. 3 gentlemen assembled mine in a day as well!
how much was the price? and how much for instalation?
I have just the roofing because HD didn't send the wood framing the first time. They sent me a complete replacement but they said i can keep the extra roofing. Just wondering if i can just build my own wood framing. Any idea?

Haven't been under it yet when it rains. Once I do I'll let you know :)
Looks great, wish they had options for high winds.
Where does the water do? Is there a gutter system? Looks like the water comes down the panel into a metal L beam. If the water sits in three it will rust out very soon.
I need that gazebo!
When he says you need a few to stand up the posts, you need a few people! I learned from that mistake the hard way!
I’ve been thinking about getting one of these. Please let us know how well it holds up over time. Also just wanted to say I’ve leaned a lot from your videos.
Hoping to build a deck like the one you did before summer is out.
Wondering the same thing. How does it hold up? im in the upper midwest, is this thing going to look okay after a couple winters?
I have the same one in NJ After 2years it is great looks the same and never has there been one leak
@@slickvic17 I'm in Long Island NY. How do I install this direct on the ground/grass, I don't want put a slab. Also did the screws get rusted?
@@slickvic17 did you bolt it to you deck?

Where can I get missing roof parts? Mine didn't come with it
Looks awesome but the general height looks quite low?
It almost looks like you're as tall as the sides?
I would love to have this but my back yard but my pavers are 16x16 for my patio and I haven't found anyone that would make one that size or larger.
Im really interested in purchasing the 13x15. It looks like this is sold under many names and brands. Sunjoy, Costco, Waiyfair, Amazon. Thing is, some say cedar but others say spruce. Some day ceder but then in the image slides it says spruce.

We've been using coleman canopys - the most durable ones weve found. Two destroyed in rainstorms so far :(
Did I miss the part where you secured it to the deck?
So did you attach it to your composite deck or is it freestanding just waiting for that strong wind to come and grab it?
Is that a 6ft standing ladder you used to reach and secure the top cap?
Yep! But a 8’ ladder would probably be best if you have one.
Did he secure it down or it just stands on it own?
I didn’t show that because I just tacked it in place with a couple screws for now. The kit comes with steaks as well if you place this on grass/dirt. Thanks for asking Todd.
@@BYOTools got it. God Bless in Jesus Christ Name Amen.
so.. are the post not bolted down on the deck/patio?
Where do I purchase this item and how much was it?
Great video and great product, I am about to order mine, I just have to finish my paver patio project first.
Would this withstand hurricane winds? I’m in Louisiana and would love this on my deck. Thanks and cheers Todd
I don't show you attaching the posts to the concrete / deck?
Where's the link Jack?! Looks amazing!
Its in the description. Here it is just incase :) bit.ly/3xAspT6 Thanks for watching and asking.
Where did you order this at ?
Great video. Can you make a DIY on how to set up a tv in this model?
Its so funny, I just finished one of these last week, I see you made the same mistake I did by not checking the direction of the post layout for the angle supports, I noticed you had holes on the finished inside of the post, I did the same thing. Instructions were not very clear.
0:11 wow it's cool how he turned the table and chairs into a gazebo
So you don't need to anchor it?
Nice. Questions. Does the 4 posts need to secure to the deck? Will it hold within a strong wind/weather without it being secure or fasten down?
Always secure
Do you mind sharing where did buy the patio dining from? It looks really nice and it's exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks,
I wish the promo code still worked. Looks like it doesn't work for that exact gazebo that you made. I was looking forward to purchasing it. Excellent instruction video!
Can you send me the link of the one you are trying to buy. I’ll look into this and see what is going on.
Me interesa el techo a donde lo compro
Great Tutorial I’m building one soon after watching it Thank you !🎉
Where can i buy it?
Hello, can you tell me how much the labor cost?
What size was this?
Great instructional!
Where is the step you had to screw the post to deck ? I’m curios to know how it was done so it’s wind proof etc….
I wonder if this would hold up in a dry climate like Las Vegas
Look very nice. I need one of this too for my new house
Well you now know how to install it so hope that makes it easier on your own project :)
You do such good quality work - and make it look easy! (it is not!) Great job!
Wondering how it will handle snow loads (I'll go check the website) and do you plan on staining or sealing it?
On the website it says 22.5 lbs per SF. Good enough for Seattle but not sure about other areas with lots of snow haha.
Tbh, it's confusing because the website advertising the gazebo states that it has a 3735 snow load capacity, but the assembly manual states that the gazebo is for shade and decoration but not madefor harsh weather such as high wind and snow.

Seem reasonably priced too. Was expecting more.
