Thank you so very much for this detailed video. Very helpful information. I plan on assembling mine this month 12x 20. I hope it goes as smoothly as your seemed to go!
This video is so great detailed and thorough thank you for filming it. All the angles and review points are appreciated
Great video. I have 6 boxes lying down on our patio. Because of your video I will build this by myself. Thank you
Thank you for the video. We live in the gazebo all day now and love it. We mounted a tv without drilling into the post using the ZeboZAP gazebo tV mount and its awesome.
Thanks for the video walkthrough Jeremiah. My wife and I have spent about 6 hours today working on a 12x12 and your tips helped us avoid some pitfalls. Thanks again for the time you spent on this.
Thanks for the walk-through and tips, Jeremiah! My husband and I put our 11x14 Gazebo together in about 10 hours because of your help. All of our parts were in good shape except for a broken grommet on a curtain and customer service was super quick to respond, and very helpful. Now to see if it will make it through a winter with our solar panels dumping icy snow on it... that would be a miracle. Thanks again!!
Glad to help and nice to see that customer service was quick to reply. I’m sitting under mine as I reply to this comment lol.
This video was great! Thanks so much for making this. I've been researching for months and had a few questions about the gazebo... how big the boxes were, how the gutters really worked in the rain, how much water gets inside from the sides. I was heavily considering putting it close to my house and wondered about the water from the roof. But I didn't consider the splashing from the roof. You showed and answered all of my outstanding questions. You literally covered everything. I think this is the gazebo for me. Thanks again!
Purple Leaf he did great and just got you a new customer. Send this man a bonus and more lights to finish the other side 🙂
Lol thanks so much. If you decide to order one please use the link in the video description to help support the channel! It doesn’t have to be the exact one in the link if you decide to get a different size!
Oh yea I agree the 50’ lights would have been better lol. Thanks again!
Thanks for this video!!!!! You have saved me from the mistakes I could have made! I rewind and forward fast so many times I lost count 😂. Thank you again!
Great video and easily explained. I will do tomorrow. Lots of helpful information. Thanks 🙏 for all
Very easy to understand and informative. Might have to replay while constructing to save frustration. Thanks
Thanks so much for sharing this. I just got my 12' x 16'. Hope going well.
Thanks. I'll be having a new patio poured in 2 weeks. I think I'll get the 20' version. I feel like I could do this with a little help. I'm fairly handy. 63 yr old nurse. I thought about maybe applying a fan of clear silicon under the roof screws before tightening them down. Love to hear your perspective. Thanks son
Planning to purchase one of these Jeremiah. Your video answered many of my questions about installation. Great tips. Well done. Thank you !!
We're putting ours up now and your video has been super helpful --- thanks so much!
Thank you for making this video, it was a tremendous help! My wife, three grandkids (8,9 & 10yrs of age) and I put it together this weekend, it took us 16 hours. I agree, only hand tighten, enough to hold in place and once done tighten all, especially the roof frame! The Z, Z1, Z2 parts could use some adhesive to hold them in place as they fall off very easily and makes you say things you shouldn't (lol). There were some parts that were slightly bent but the material is workable and easy to fix. Suggestion to all, once it arrives open a box to make sure you got the right color, I let mine sit for contractors that kept cancelling, 40 days later I opened it and it was the wrong color, could not wait any longer so I installed as is. Kudos to Purple Leaf for making easy to follow instructions!
Added a tv using ZeboZAP and life outdoor has changed
Great video, well done, good tips ! I don't have this model but same basic style so your installation steps were very helpful, Thanks
Thank you! Glad it was helpful for you Joe!
good stuff thanks for the tips. just order a 12x12. I like to grill outside too and this will allow me to grill in poopy weather now. rock on!
I got the 12x20 delivered today. We have some rain but I plan to start in the next few days. I’m pretty mechanically inclined as well but I like to have an idea ahead of time what I’m in for. Plus you always learn things that make it easier so I figured this would be helpful. I was correct you did a great job showing and explaining everything. Makes me excited to start mine! ❤️
Great to hear, good luck and thanks for watching!
Super helpful! Going to purchase a Purple Leaf gazebo in the next week or two, and this video will be very helpful to my husband. Thanks, from a fellow yinzer.
😄thanks for watching and Please consider using my link when purchasing to help support my videos.
Great video we got the same one but we put the roof together first and then just added the legs so we wouldn't have to keep working over our head...took about 6 hours
Just finished my 12 × 20 pretty easy no damages and EVERYTHING was labeled so glad i didn't pay to get it built,thanks to Jeremiah for the video and the tips!!!
Hello, i have a question please. How many boxes came with your order ? We on received 5 for our 12 x 20
@simonahumphries4540 7 boxes for the 12 x20 we received 3 the first day from fed ex and 4 the second day ,all of them should come numbered
@simonahumphries4540 two boxes will be panels only the other 5 posts and frame and hardware
Fucking communist utube deleting my comments
Good review!! This is something we'd like to have a few years down the road when we're ready.
Thank you. I’m putting another one together now and will have a video of it in about a week or so keep an eye out for it!
thank u for ur video... great job.. just bought a 14x22 and also mechanically inclined.. will assemble with recruitment of neighbors of course..lol... thank u for all the tips
If you have balls on top of yours put silicone on them when installing because they may drip!💧
Thanks Jeremiah for the great video and 😁all the info im ready to purchase now

Very informative video. I guess it’s time to start.
Very well explained
Thanks for the video
very nice your video tomorrow I will do mine , 14x 20 your video going to help a lot.
Nice spot to chill.
Great video. I'm going to buy one but was considered about the installation. This video help alot. Thank you
Thank you. I recently built another one so make sure you check out that video as well!
This is very helpful!! We just purchased a 12x20 and will be following your video to guide us! Thanks for sharing!!
Mine survived after hurricane Beryl. It moved and half fell on the ground. 1’ drop. Still solid and no bent or damage anywhere. Definitely should had bolted it but didn’t completely finished deck until today.
Just bought one arrives Monday, will need a installer
Very good and helpful video..
Excellent video!
Thanks for the video, it has been helpful. I'm about to finish mine off today. A concern i have is about the gutters. The one i have doesn't have the little drain holes but they drain right into the hollow columns. Mine is under trees which drop all kinds of tiny berries and little leaves. It will get clogged quickly. I'm thinking of putting some sort of mesh filter to prevent that. Has anybody had this issue and what did you do if so?
Thanks for your help
Dude, you are the man. Starting with the center panels was the trick. I had a different brand 14x20 and instructions told me to start from left to right. I found your video and it made a big difference. Wish the best to you and your family. Palm Harbor,FL
Just built this same exact gazebo over the weekend, and just watched this video. Unfortunately I installed the clips for the roof panels upside down ☹. I wish I would have seen this video beforehand. I hope it’s not a big deal, because everything installed okay. If not, I have some work to do 😭. Good video by the way.
Great video! Liked it alot for its simple instructions and great visual. Probably in real-life as you are assembling it yourself, it might be complicated, but in all, i can see myself building it. Thanks
Excellent video, thank you very much!
Thanks! Your welcome!
Leaving a comment bc you genuinely deserved it. Thank you for the video.
Great video thanks! Ever thought about just plugging the hole closest to the house and see if it drains well enough out the other three?
I’ve got boxes in my garage waiting to go up and I think I’m gonna try that.
❤❤❤ love this. Add a ZeboZAP gazebo tv mount. 🎉 mounted a tv in minutes:
Love the ZeboZAP
was leaning towards one of these you convinced me this is what i need for my patio..... would love to see how you bolted it down.
I used tapcons to screw it down to the concrete and haven’t had any problems but concrete anchors would have been better to use.
Can you use either of those to secure it on pavers?
Thanks for the tips! Going to start assembling mine tomorrow. I see yours sits on top of a concrete patio but you recommended securing it to help with the wind. What did you do?
Awesome 🤝
How would you recommend anchors these to a paver pool patio? Tapcons/wedge anchors or do I have to make concrete footings ?
Fantastic! Ours just arrived (same model and dimensions )and we just got done staging all of the various parts and will be getting ready to assemble it. We are going to take our time and not worry about being done quickly. The only thing I have to figure out is how to drill the holes on our concrete patio for the mounting anchors.
You will definitely need to use a hammer drill and masonry bit to drill the holes. I might use tapcons to mount mine but wedge anchors would be better.
I just got mine and we have not unboxed it yet. I need to get city approval. How many anchor holes are at the bottom of each leg?
@user-oe8jg4wi4c there are 3 holes in each leg.
Great job
Thank you!
I put mine up yesterday. What length of Tapcon screws do you recommend? Also you don't mention to screws the roof panels down as you proceed with the assembly; I found this really helps. Also those little sliders that we put onto the roof panels are a real pain to keep on. Any change with them would be good. Thanks for the video as is really prepared me for construction. God Bless.
Great video bro!
Thank you!
Thank you, super helpful!
You’re welcome!
Thank you for the video. Made my decision to purchase a Purple Leaf. Thought they were all the same BUT it seems Purple Leaf is a bit beefier and no cross pieces up in the rafters. I'm looking at the 14x20 so it might be different. What size allen wrenches did you need? The link you provided came to a set with standard and metric and I'm guessing way more than needed? Thanks!
Great video! I ordered the 12' x 16' Gazebo. Unfortunately, the assembly manual was missing in my shipment when it arrived. Does anyone know where I can find a manual with the instructions? I cannot find it on the internet for that particular size Gazebo. Also, contacted customer service but no answer.
Great video, thank you for taking the time to make it!
Awesome. Good product, and good installation instructions in this video. Couple questions - We live in Michigan and have good amount of snow. Will this roof hold up against snow ? And what about ice storms? Will this withstand ice buildup? Thanks for putting up this awesome video.
It’s rated for a 2500lb snow load but I haven’t had it throughout the winter yet so can’t confirm. If it were in a hail storm it would probably get dinged up because the roof metal is not very thick.
Thanks Jeremiah very helpful video. Subscribed. I'm thinking of installing one of these on my existing wood deck as it was originally built as a pergola. My area is also in the sun most of the day. Does the metal roof radiate heat down or does it deflect for a cooler area underneath.
It does get pretty hot up in the peak but not really to bad underneath. Definitely better that the sun beating on you!
great video thank you very much.
Thank you Kathy! Your welcome!
Thank you ur clip. Nice!
I just purchased this same Gazebo that I plan to build over a hottub. Do you think it's strong enough to support a ceiling fan in the middle?
I bought the 10’x14’ faux teak wood this week. Day1 went smoothly…only weird spot was the 4 rails w/bendable tabs that form support under the center ceiling cap. Will attack ceiling panels tomorrow😅
Nice work! I recently saw a video of some nimrod struggling to assemble one of these. He used a bunch of spray adhesive on it and it looks terrible.
🤣Lol what would you possibly use spray adhesive for?
Is there space on the top where the gutter system is for birds to create nests? We have a huge problem with birds by our deck, and I'm trying to find something they can't do that with.
Is there a screen at the top where the two tears roof meet to keep the bugs out?
You put out a excellent video for that I thank you.! We just finished assembly on our 12x16 PL Gazebo & your correct it is Beautiful, We enjoy everything well almost Everything about it. 1 thing u didn’t go thru in video is the 1 thing I need info on. CURTAINS!! Ugh the curtains (not netting,that works) will Not stay on Track for us & they also pull little hook that secure them to Metal Posts All 4 come out with slightest tug, like closing to zipper. Do you have any suggestions that may keep curtains from falling off ? I’d do appreciate your reply.. Thanks again
I haven’t had any problems with my curtains coming off so I’m not really sure what the problem would be.
I just purchased this gazebo, I have a paver patio. What did you use to anchor this? I want to permanently anchor it.
Look, Jeremiah! You might think you know what you’re talking about. But you DO!! Why didn’t I watch your video BEFORE assembly???! I ended up paying 3 guys $600 to help me assemble it. The roof support bracket assembly is BY FAR the toughest assembly! Everything else is GRAVY. Thank you for your AWESOME VIDEOS.
I would have done it for 599 !!! 🤪
Is a 6 foot ladder good enough for this project or do I need an 8 or 10 footer?
Good job bro 👍
Thank you!
Great video. My husband is struggling a bit getting the lower roof panels in place being up that high. Patience, which he is lacking, but we're getting there slowly. Wondering how you get the upper screws in in the middle of panels. Nice Steeler umbrella.!!!
I just finished mine today, a 6 foot ladder and stand so you can reach your arm over the top, and your other arm under to hold the rubber block in the channel worked for me.
Good job
Thank you!
What size impact wrench would I need??
We just got ours. 12 x 16. It came in 5 boxes. I hope that is right?????
hard to assemble we have a 8x8 way to go looks great and should i put silicone for the screws we have the stoppers but i dont kow we messed up a screw and now we need to do something
It wouldn’t hurt
Where is the link to the second review on this? Thank you.
How did you anchor it down?
Im about 80% sure of buying this. Anyone know how it does in heavy winds? ( south carolina ) storms and hurricanes
What did you use to bolt down to the concrete?
You did a good job demonstrating how to install the Gazebo. You did not address the top roof putting it together. I had trouble with the decorative balls on top. The inside of balls would not tighten. I ended up with roof leaking at balls. I did get replacements but felt they were not watertight. I filled the holes with silicone in lieu of using balls
Thank you. I’ve noticed the same problem with them leaking and needing to add silicone.
I'm in Mexico and I plan to go for a gazebo like yours. Will the boxes fit in a pickup truck?
I am considering buying one just now, my concern is long term durability and maintenance. Is there anything we can do to have it last longer? I am wondering why give a 1 year warranty on a frame and 5 year warranty for roof. I am hoping to have this last at least 5-7 years, hoping for 10.
We have a 12 x 12 gazebo, what is the easiest way to install the rubbber support under the roof panels? The instructions are not the best. Thank you
How much would you charge for installation, two people? Thank you!
Great video! What do you plan on using to anchor the Gazebo down with?
I’m going to use tapcons to anchor mine down to the concrete
What is the weight limit of the u bolt for a fan?
Purchase this Purple Leaf Gazebo from their Official Website here purpleleaf.pxf.io/5gjxNL
Solar string lights in this video purpleleaf.pxf.io/Vm4053
Thanks for the video! We are halfway thru and the roof is a pita. What did you use to anchor it down. There are no directions regarding that part
It depends what you’re anchoring it down to but I used tapcons even though they are not really recommended you’re better off using actual concrete anchors in concrete.
If track for mesh netting is bolted in, are you able to attach the middle piece T1 afterwards?
I’m not sure which piece is T1 without looking in the manual
I just purchased this same gazebo should I get rubber washers for the bolts for the roof panels like you suggested???
So far in my experience, it has not leave that much from the bolts, but definitely leaks from the balls on top. If you wanted to make sure it never leaked from the bolts i would.
Either way, make sure you silicone the balls on top or put rubber washers under them as well because they will definitely leak.
Thank you very much for this video! I’m currently at the steps where you install the larger panels and was extremely frustrated starting at the corners instead of the center pieces. As far as the panels go, do you just press in the flimsy clips into the grooves? I’m assuming once they’re locked in the groove with the grommet and bolt that they’re good to go?
You mean the plastic pieces that clip on the angled part of the panels?
Correct. I started from the edges and couldn’t keep the clips inside the groove( kept popping off). I’m assuming starting from the center makes snapping them into the groove much easier?
Yes had the same issue. This part was the most frustrating. I put in duct tape over the Z parts
Hey good videos. But one question. Don’t we need to fix / screw the post to the ground?
Yes or it could blow away!
We just bought the same 12x16 gazebo and want to say thanks for a very informative video. My question is, how did you end up securing it to your patio? Like you, we are on a concrete patio and I’m thinking of expanding screws into the slab. What are your thoughts?
Paul
I used tapcons but the expanding concrete anchors would definitely be better.
Thanks!
We’ve just started installing the lower/main roof panels, did you screw/bolt them down as you went? Trying to figure out the best way to do it, and making sure to get the rubber spacers in as well.
Thank you so much for the Super Thanks and your generosity Andrew! It’s greatly appreciated!!
I put the screws in the panels as I went because It’s easier to reach the bolt and rubber underneath that way but didn’t tighten them until I had them all in one side. I did tighten the high bolt in the center when starting each side tho.
You will need someone to hold the wrench on the nuts underneath when tightening if you leave them loose tho. Also start from the middle and work your way to each end it’s easier. It did seem like some of the bolt holes were a little hard to line up getting towards the end but I stuck a screwdriver in one hole and and used it as leverage to force the panel the way I needed it to while putting a screw in one of the other holes. Also, make sure you leave the bottom and middle row rails loose until you get all the bolts started and don’t tighten the roof bolts up too much at the end because it will crush the panels. Oh, I also left the top channel loose inside where the panel slides up into until the end in case I needed to push it up a little. Hope this helps and thanks again for the support!
@@JeremiahMcintosh your guidance is very much appreciated. You weren’t kidding about keeping everything loose, and those upper roof brackets…. They fall off very easily. Hahaha
Purchased a 12 x 20, having problems with water leaking under the roof. Appears that water may be entering under or around the decorate balls ontop of the 2nd roof. Any suggestions?
Ive had the same problem from the balls on top. I’m going to try silicone or rubber washers under the bolt heads and balls.
Great video .......I Like the idea of the string or rain chain.....how did you connect it to the upper hole in corner?
I tied it to a small nail and stuck it up in the hole. I’ve noticed water also comes out of the other 2 small holes but you could cover them up.
@@JeremiahMcintosh thanks for responding, good ideas…..i got my frame up this morning…..thanks for the video man!!
@@JeremiahMcintosh hey a question, for the big bottom roof of gazebo, do you start with the middle or the side tiles first??
I'm strongly considering purchasing a Purple Leaf gazebo. Would you have any recommendations for anchoring it to a pre-existing composite deck? We're worried just screwing it into the deck boards may not secure it well enough in a strong wind. I'm also concerned about the 40mph wind limit. We've had some pretty strong winds this year in Ohio!
You could always put solid wood under the decking boards and then lag screw it down to those.
Does the mesh in the roof keep bugs out or do they fall into a trap that you’d have to clean up?
Yes it keeps the bugs out.
Omg thank you soooo much very hcelpfulfull video the camera viewing perfect angles !!! 🎉 thank you
Did you use the concrete anchors that came with it or did you buy something else to bolt it to your patio? What masonry bit did you use?
I actually used tapcons but concrete wedge anchors would have actually been better.
@@JeremiahMcintosh thank you
Hi. I've only just seen your video. We also ordered a gazebo 10x14. Unfortunately, ours is already there and build up. We now have the problem that the roof is leaking. :( And we don't know why. We're assuming because we also made the mistake and didn't build the panels from the center but from left to right like you initially did. Does your roof leak? We just don't know what it could be. I would be very grateful for a feedback. Warm greetings from Germany.
It is probably leaking around the fasteners because there is no gasket between the bolt head and sheeting.
