Great informative video. We have just purchased one and will be with us shortly. I am so happy I came across this video as I had it in my head to build the roof first and lift it up on to the base (PHEW) I don't have long arms but some happy helpers. I am definitely going to view your other video on how you sealed the roof. Thank you.
I just bought one and your video was the first to come up. Thank you for creating this setup/install and review with all the tips! How is it holding up?
very good video. I have put ours up aswell. However it leaks between that both the polycarbon pieces where that middle piece goes in. im just wondering i put the wider side on top and narrower side at the bottom. When looking at the instructions it says bigger side should be at the bottom. Any help or advice would be great! thanks
Hi Please check out my other video regarding stopping leaks, heres the link hope it helps thanks th-cam.com/video/dAMuVJPo2qA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qxdZ0ZQt4Vp70ScO
Great video. Thank you. Just installed mine, but it did not come with the bottom butress corner railings that you have that I think would prevent sway in a strong wind. Do you know if and where these might be purchased separately? I contacted Outsumny cust omer service here in Canada, but they were of no help. Thanks in advance for any guidance. Dave
Hi James If you are putting the Gazebo on decking then it will depend on the thickness of your decking board mine are 28mm thick so I have used a anti rust or decking screw 5 x 30 wood screw to anchor each of the legs to the decking, Thanks for watching and I hope this helps you out.
Nice… But what if i didnt take the plastic cover off Inside and out Because when im inside, looks like its not sun proof, but with the plastic cover inside, makes me feel better.
Hi! I wanted to ask if you had any concerns regarding the weight of the gazebo on your wood deck? We have composite decking and wanted to get a hard top gazebo as well but were concerned about the weight of it on the deck. Should we screw the support on to the deck or should we use a weight for the legs instead? Thank you!
Hi, Great video I am also getting something similar - do you think bolting/screening it in the patio would be okay for all weather conditions or would you suggest cementing it in the ground?
Hi William check out my other video on leaks, once you have followed it you should have no leaks from the gazebo and be able to keep your garden furniture cushions out. Thanks
Can you please tell me how this gazebo has coped in the recent windy weather and do you think after having it for some time is it worth the money. Thank you
Hi The gazebo is still standing stronger than ever, it as seen off the recent three storms with no damage, I will be making a new video very soon on this and how to clean the gazebo for the coming spring Thanks
Hi yes it lets in loads of light the roof is polycarbonate so allows the light to come through, you can buy ones that have a solid metal roof so guessing that type would be quite dark,
Hi the construction of the gazebo only took one day to complete, for me this was kind of a low medium difficulty to build as I have a building background anyway but for someone who does not have any building experience or DIY experience this could be quite a challenge as ithe nstructions are not the clearest so hopefully this video will help you to achieve the installation in a quicker finishing time thanks for watching.

I went for the outsunny 84C 177 with built in solar. and just started on the legs. what i find most annoying in the instructions is the lack of literal assembly instructions all picture format, while seeming straight forward I'm still a little puzzled with the many parts involved. Hence my TH-cam search for someone erecting this or one like it to give me a rough idea what everything is and where it goes. Given it cost over a grand would hate to miss something crucial
Hi Paul yes I agree the installation manuals are not the best at detailing the instructions and can be a bit frustrating but I Hope my video on installing mine as given you some insight on how to to erect the gazebo, Thanks
@@MRCarybuck Hi Thanks for your reply. After much swearing and cussing i finally conquered the task and for my efforts i must admit it looks the part and fits right in with the decking and garden. If i may impart one further question, You've had yours up for nearly a year now so if you could give me the low down on how it's performed over the period and not suffered any structural issues during the storms experienced over the year. It would be handy to know the strengths and weaknesses during inclement weather. Many thanks.
I was going to get one with these slightly clear roof panels but those are looking flimsy so for the price I might as well go the extra $200 and get proper metal panels.
Hi Xeric thanks for your comment, I have no complaints regarding this gazebo with the polycarbonate roof I've had this one now for two years and it defiantly not flimsy it a good strong construction roof when erected correctly, its put up with all types of the British weather over the past two years, of course if you have the budget for the full metal roof then this would be a good option too thanks,
@@MRCarybuckwe have one and it’s slightly older and was under a few pines trees with insane squirrels. The squirrels drop pine cones onto the gazebo top and caused a few holes. We need to replace a few of the polys. Can’t find any replacements
Hi, I used decking screws to fix the legs to the decking as these are a non rust Screw and designed to grip the timber but I suppose you could use any wood screw to anchor the Gazebo so long as they are a non rust. Hope this helps with your own project. Cheers
Hi yes the base plate (shown at 2:48 in the video) that the support leg/column sits on is 120 x 120mm and the support leg/column ( shown at 2:08 in the video) is 75 x 75mm I hope this answers your question and thanks for watching
I am not going to let amazon "reveiewers" scare me away from getting the hexogonal outsunny. some people say the roof panels would "fall on their head and bonk them" obviously the directions that come with these things are crap but that is the way of all gazebos.
Hi Fucheduck, yes you are right the directions that are provided with these gazebos are not the clearest but I can say since I installed this back in March 2021 the Gazebo has been absolutely solid even through its first winter, once It gets to its first year in March I will be doing a update video on how its held up and how to clean the Gazebo, Thanks for watching and I hope the video will help you when you get your Gazebo.
Hi Steve, probably a bit early to say as its only been up for a month, but in the first week we had a couple of leaks when it rained from where the two polycarbonate sheets meet in the middle with the joining strip 12:17 in the video, but I have sorted this by running a bead of clear silicone down the inside ridge of the metal strips where the first polycarb sits in 12:29 It does not tell you any of this in the manual but really it should, I will be doing an update video on this very soon so you can see exactly what i have said above. but apart from that the Gazebo as been fantastic I will also update you when we have some bad weather and see how it holds up, Thanks
Great video! I now understand how the gazebo is made. It helps me make a choice about what gazebo to get.
That's great Judith, glad the video help you, thanks for watching

I have a wooden deck with 1x6 everywhere can i screw into that or did it need reinforcement?
What size screws did you use. I bought and noticed that wood screws are not included in the parts list.

I am also getting something similar - do you think bolting/screening it in the patio would be okay for all weather conditions or would you suggest cementing it in the ground?
Him do you find that the roof is waterproof or do you get leaks? I'm looking to keep my cushions out from spring til autumn if I do get this. thanks

hi mate, does this still let light through or is it very dark? any video to show this plz?
Hi yes it lets in loads of light the roof is polycarbonate so allows the light to come through, you can buy ones that have a solid metal roof so guessing that type would be quite dark,
Looks good! How many days did the construction take?

Where and how can you get replacement tiles

Has anyone managed to get replacement roof panels for the Outsunny
What size is this Gazebo?
What’s the dimensions of the base feet and uprights please?
I was going to get one with these slightly clear roof panels but those are looking flimsy so for the price I might as well go the extra $200 and get proper metal panels.
