Love the wooded slats on the gazebo
Is that what that is?
This is the exact type of video I was looking for, thank you!!
I built a similar set up in my metal gazebo. I mounted my projector on the ceiling and sealed everything off. Ran all my wiring and electric through the Posts of the gazebo and bought a cover for my receiver. Projector is the only thing I take in and out with me. Well Done!
Let’s see your display
This was super helpful. We're planning on doing something similar. Thanks for the video!
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing this.
Love it. 👍🏽 All other videos they showed wooden gazebos and screwing it in. Great idea so it can be removed if ever needed.
Smart lady! Great video ❤
What a great idea! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
Thank you :)
@@thatadhdmom7186 how is the screen holding up?
Thanks you did a wonderful job!!!
thats really cool
Wow!! This is awesomesauce for real 🤔
Thank you :)
Nice setup! On your U-bolts, if you use 2 additional nuts and another plate to "sandwich" the metal frame, it will make the installation/adjustment maybe a bit easier. just a thought.
Awesome idea.
Great video! One thing I'd like to add, regarding a projector and screen set-up. Before you purchase your projector, you have to know the distance from the screen and the screen size. Projectors all have different "throw ratios" that need to be taken into account if you want clear, full-screen video.
Same . I have same gazebo. Helps a lot. Cuz i dont wnt to drill my metal gazebo
ZeboZAP saves time
We used ZeboZAP to mount to the corner of the gazebo by just strapping. Box came with the straps and simple tightening mechanism. Worth it. 😊
I love what you did. If you don't mind, I would like to copy your idea. May I please have the link for the pull down screen? Thank you.
Awesome idea. How is the screen holding up
Love the T Shirt LOL lmao
Hey that’s super cool. But what’s more cool, what did you do to cover the sides of your gazebo? Is it wood? Where can I find that? I need something like that
what do you do in freeze temp, do you remove the screen ?
Do happen to have video of those blinds you have up
550 Cord handles everything!
thanks. you did great. if u dont mind i will semi copy. lol
Please do! It's been such a great addition to the backyard. Would love to see how it turns out :)
How did you get the zip ties underneath the metal bars? For the lights?
Were you able to use it during windy time? Will the screen blow it by the wind?
Since it's not a motorized screen, do you leave it out in the rain?
What size is your gazebo? I bought a 100” screen for a 12 x 14 gazebo.
On windy days how do you keep it from moving?
There is a handle on the bottom you use to pull the screen down. We put string through the that handle and then the string around one fo the deck board and tie it down. But because of the way its hung under the gazeboo it doesn't blow around too much so we have only had to do that once or twice.
Hey could you send a link to the lights you purchase? Thank you!!!!
Hi Joseph, We purchased two sets of these string lights from home depot that look like edison lights but are actually LEDs www.homedepot.ca/product/hampton-bay-commercial-grade-plug-in-led-string-lights-24-ft-12-shatter-resistant-led-filament-bulbs/1001513316
Just the video I was looking for! Where did you get the fire pit?
It's a Napoleon Gas Fire Pit. Its amazing. We got it at a fireplace store local to us since we could not find this model in big box stores. The big box stores carry some of the Napoleon fire pits but none carried this model near us. Here is their link www.napoleon.com/en/us/grills/products/outdoor-heating
@@thatadhdmom7186 Thanks again!
Great video. How did you hang your string lights? It looks like you used zip ties.
Yes I used black zip-ties so they would be close to the same color as the gazebo roof and would not be that visible
Sorry what do I need to hold up 100inch projector screen please
If you go to the 3:40 minute mark I list out the hardware I used :)
How did you do the wooden slats? Are they movable like a blind or stationary?
The privacy wood louver fence was a kit you can get at home depot. www.homedepot.ca/product/flexfence-4-ft-louver-hardware-system-for-decks-fences-pergolas-more/1000117979. Yes they are moveable like shutters :)
How do you hang the shutter ? . I have a metal gazebo.
Also can you make a video on the privacy fences? Very cool!

I can do a video on them in the summer because right now we are under 3 feet of snow lol! But I found an old video of a commercial for them that should help :) th-cam.com/video/_icq52dOp44/w-d-xo.html
@@thatadhdmom7186 You're awesome! Thanks so much!
Is your gazebo a 12×12?
Its a 10x12
How is the picture during the day?
The picture during the day is very faint but thats cause we have a very cheap $35 dollar projector so its not as good or as bright as most of the projectors out there. We plan on upgrading to a better projector next year, one that can stream Netflix, play video games etc. cause right now the one we have can only play movies when it's hooked up to a DVD player. When the screen is pulled down it acts like a 3rd wall during the day so it is pretty shaded under there, with the two privacy walls as well. I would imagine if you got a good projector that had better lumens like 3000 and higher it would work pretty well in the day light as well. Ours is only 1500 lumens so we only use it as a night time outdoor movie theatre.
