Just finished and personally for me the roof was a lot easier by putting the 2 big ones on first cause then they hold each other up and the other ones basically just slide in
Do you need to install the aluminum panels? I'm considering modifying the roof to incorporate a mesh/tarp over top so I can choose when to cover it up - for the extra hot days
I’m not sure if the metal roof panels that is attached to the roof framing strengthens the entire structure, but I do it helps to hold everything together. The roofs maybe weaken if there are no metal panels holding them together.
Hi, we started around 11am, we took a long break about 2 hours because of lunch and I had to go pick up kids from school..by dark we almost finished around 5pm. We did have to do all the finishing trims and simple stuff the morning after. Wasn’t too bad
Great video! Thanks for sharing! About to do a 12 x 16 in a couple of weeks. How many hours did this take, and was it mostly just 2 people working on it, except when putting the roof panels up? I'm telling my buddy that it's a ONE day job! Two days might scare him away. : )
We started at 10am and it was 8pm when we put up the last roof panel. It was mostly a 2 men job. I took about 1.5hr to pick up kids from school in the middle of the day. If you could get your friend to help you to install to the point where all 4 roof panels are up, you can do the rest of the install by yourself. :) good luck I’m excited for you
@@don_wynn Thanks! I'm thinking I'll probably be able to PREPARE the poles and beams, along with getting the roof panels assembled prior to doing the MAIN construction of it. Didn't see if you attached it to your foundation. I assume you did.
@@P0LSKI we did not secure to foundation. We have strong winds but we do not have any hurricane/tornado winds here in California. I built one 4 years ago that is still standing over the years didn’t move an inch with all the winds we had. 😃
I built one 4 years ago and we had some very very strong winds at times but it never even moved an inch and it wasn’t bolted down. Still up and standing. 😃
@@don_wynn Love your videos bro. Watching your backyard grow is badass. Im starting the leveling and the same pool next week. Your vids have helped a lot 💯
I put the entire thing together but the only part of the install where you would need at least 2 people is when you have to install the roof panels. Check out my other video where I install everything (except) the roof.
Perfect, I wanted to do it but I was reluctant to do it alone, now I see it’s possible (I will just ask someone for the roof)! Awesome content on all your videos btw.
You'll need at least TWO ppl, and a long 2x4 to hold the middle of the roof up. My wide and I did it slightly different than the OP. We installed the two longer sides up first.
You can do it by yourself. Place you ladder in the middle of the frame. Put one long side panel up and lay it on the ladder. Do the same with the opposite side (not the panel next to it as they have done in the video) let the opposite side rest on top of the other...as you go up the ladder you push them both up and rest them against each other. I am a professional and have 12 years experience. While it may be simple and easy for me; this Strategy may be challenging for other. Once you have done it for the first time it will very easy
@@robertogarza4940 I paid $1100 including the mosquito net also anchoring it to the concrete. They provided the anchor’s screws Not bad Took them 2 days , it was worth every penny Not worth my time . I would’ve paid double that to have it installed. I didn’t care how much it Cost
I’m almost done with this but it took me several days and time on and off to get this done. I live where it’s hot and it’s been the hardest build so far. We did work to stain several coats on the wood but the build itself was miserable and nothing lined up properly.

Great tip 😃
Great video, I just finished my 12x16 today and must say that it most definitely was a mission
It is definitely a good challenge 😃
Thx for sharing,I am about to build one too by myself,looks pretty difficult,gonna take me few weeks to finished
You’re welcome. Hope this video helps
A few weeks? How come? You’re doing this by yourself? 😅
Will someone on Angie’s list install it for us… we r in our 70’s and have had our share of DIY projects.
I can where do you live? lol jk but yes even Costco themselves have installers they work with, you can ask them 😀
Thanks for the pro tips! It’s helpful to also see the mistakes so I can try not to repeat them. I’m putting mine together now.
👍🏻 I’m excited for you.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Do you think you could put the ridge caps on 1st and then put the peak cap on?? Getting ready to build the 12’x20’ Costco gazebo for my wife.
Great job! How did you attached the posts to the concrete though?
Concrete anchors
How long did it take the 2 of you to do? Considering getting one.
Appreciate you sharing and showing issues along the way. Getting ready to build the 12x14… THANK YOU!
That’s great I’m excited for you. Good luck 😃
Thanks for video! Super helpful! By any chance do you have a list of the tools you used/recommend to build?
Awesome
Genuine question: how's the rain flow?
great job
Thank you 😃

Looks awesome, how long did it take you guys?
I just bought same/ similarfrom Costco yesterday

@@don_wynn thanks
Awesome video 👍✔️
Thank you so much 😃
what size bolts you put on concrete to fix the wooden pools ?
Did you have to secure the post to the concrete floor ?
Hi, no we didn’t
Was the roof edge plastic covering/tape difficult for you as well? Or did you not remove it?
Removing the plastic covering was the hardest part of the install. Lol 😃
How did you anchor the gazebo into the floor?
Hi, I didn’t. There is a bracket for each pillar with 2 bolt holes for you to add depending on what it sits on.
Looks like a Daly City house. You from 94015?

Any times on how you could secure it down? Or do you think it’s sturdy enough to not tip over with heavy winds
I built one 4 years ago and we had some very very strong winds at times but it never even moved an inch and it wasn’t bolted down. Still up and standing. 😃
What made you switch from the one you had?
Hi. I didn’t switch mines out. I still have mine up and in pretty good condition after 4 years. I helped a friend built this new model at his house 😃
@@don_wynn Ahhh i see!
@@don_wynn Love your videos bro. Watching your backyard grow is badass. Im starting the leveling and the same pool next week. Your vids have helped a lot 💯
How much does it weigh put together will it be able to be moved
Comes in 3 big heavy boxes
Around 650lbs
So did you not bolt it to the concrete????
N🎉🎉😅😅
Is it feasible alone or you need a team of people?

I did this in one day its not as hard but you do need help with the roof
You'll need at least TWO ppl, and a long 2x4 to hold the middle of the roof up.

Where do you live
Hi, Northern California
With all those tatts I figured you wouldn't need gloves to handle manufactured wood 😂
The shaking opener why?
It will take me 6 months to build this
Just hired some people not worth it
😃
How much did. You pay to get it assemble???
@@robertogarza4940 I paid $1100 including the mosquito net also anchoring it to the concrete.
They provided the anchor’s screws
Not bad
Took them 2 days , it was worth every penny
Not worth my time .
I would’ve paid double that to have it installed.

@@richardpbenaidrene6458as I watched this build, I was thinking the same thing, but $1100 last year is probably double this year 😂😂
