2 weeks down the line fully erected the outsunny 84C-177 solar and we've had strong winds an most recently heavy downpours 1st impressions very impressed. Not had chance to anchor it to the decking yet but nonetheless stood up to winds with barely any movement. as for leaks not so much s a drop and furniture bone dry. as for the solar lighting system super bright but downside to the light however, not normal AA rechargeable batteries but the more expensive 18650. You' d think for the money they'd include them free. Still, that's the only sin and well pleased with the overall sturdiness and quality. Thoroughly recommend this Gazebo but watch the video on erecting this, the manual is kinda rubbish and confusing. Cheers Cary. you've been a huge help, i dare say It'd still be on the to do list if it wasn't for your brill instructions
Thanks Paul really appreciate the feedback so glad you got your Gazebo up with minimum fuss and that my video helped you out hope you have a great summer enjoying your Hardtop Gazebo as I know I will be out enjoying mine. Thanks
Hello, thanks for this video.. quick question though, once we put the silicone on the bar, do we let it dry before putting the PC panel? or is it meant to weld both pieces together?
Same problem with mine. Although mine still leaks after this type of repair. I think the water is running down under the vertical strips and overloading the strip you siliconed. Running out of ideas !!
Hi Pete sorry to hear that you are still getting leaks from your Gazebo I can definitely say I have had no leaks since sealing the panels, the only thing I can think is that your roof may not be square and that the panels are not sitting fully in the roof spars, it could be worth looking at. Hope it helps thanks
do you think when it's set up and all tightened. would it be ok to move over a foot or 2 foot to get closer to a wall without damaging the alignment of panels etc
Hi yes I do it all the time to clean the decking but not on my own I get all the family to lift one of the four corners each ( so one on each corner) and gently move it over, the gazebo isn't heavy so not a problem, thanks for watching 👍
Hi mate I have just bought one similar and thanks for all the tips superb 👌 couple of questions can this be done when installing for the first time and also did you fix yours in place I have Indian sandstone so wasn't sure exactly what to use thanks
Hi Derek yes you can do this as you install the Gazebo its probably better I would advice you to watch the video again so that you do it right first time as siliconing can be a bit tricky, as for fixing it down yes defiantly I have my on decking so it was very easy to fix it, for your Indian sandstone you could use a anti rust 5 x 50 Screw with raw plug that should do the trick for fixing, good look with installing your Gazebo.
Fantastic videos thanks. You know if you do silicone it all together. does that mean it would be difficult to take the roof apart again in the future if needs be. also what are your plans for winter? are you going to leave it out all year or take the whole thing inside or just the roof panels off? thanks
Hi William, glad you liked the video as for taking the Gazebo apart No it's not an issue at all, If you watch the video I only seal the joining roof bar to the top polycarbonate panel, so when you take it apart the bar will remain on the panel, as for winter not to sure as yet but what ever I do I will keep you updated thanks

Outstanding mines still in the box so this is very helpful and living in Scotland we get rain and lots of it
Thanks for the tip...just about to put this up

Again great video and advice as I would have tried to seal everywhere.
Great video
How do you install gutters on a metal gazebo? Not sure if the structure can take additional weight of the gutter especially with rain water.
Same problem with mine. Although mine still leaks after this type of repair. I think the water is running down under the vertical strips and overloading the strip you siliconed. Running out of ideas !!

How to do gutter on this too

Hi how was this in winds over winter?
Hi Ian, the Gazebo is still going strong, this will be it's second winter and it's held up really well,
Fantastic videos thanks.

@@MRCarybuck any update for snow or the winter ??? Just wanted some feedback , is the roof strong enough to survive big snow ?
