I finished my 12' x 14' Yardistry and it took 15 days working 2 to 6 hours a day. I took my time because I have other projects I am working on at my house also. The best thing I did was spend one day unpacking and organizing by Part numbers etc.. Roof fit Perfect as I insured I measured and leveled Everything 10x😄. I am over 65 years of age and I put the post assemblies up and used hollow blocks to support them then I put short beams up (both) first Then I put up Long beams.... There are SO MANY Screws, nuts, bolts etc.. so you can go nuts reading the packages so I used a lot of Marked bins..All in all watch a lot of videos on RUclips on installations as It Saved me a lot of Headaches 👍
we kind of would’ve liked a voice over but since we had the same gazebo and screws and stuff we made do but amazing job honestly !!:)) very much appreciated !
I wish I could have someone doing all the filming while me can focus on doing the actual work at that time. I did all those recordings all by myself. Unfortunately it doesn't meet up to your expectation.
most important part was making sure you took the time to level each post and make sure your diagonals were correct/square. Sets everything up for success for future steps. Nice video and thanks for sharing. Cool to see other installations. I have one that shows my finish electric on my channel.
@@huangjianbin ruclips.net/video/qvnrt6qKTSo/видео.html dont have a name for my channel (not yet at least), but here is a link to the video. Shoot me a comment with your thoughts. Thanks
I'm absolutely astonished truly amazed You deserve a long vacation if anyone does! Yes, you made it! Remember just one thing, don't bring any instructions and buttons and bows nuts & bolts YIPs! Ooee
This was really helpful to see. I'm winding how you attached the ridge caps in the corner by the house? I thought the cap needed to be slid onto the bracket after the bracket with the weather strip is installed, but it looks like the house would have been in the way to do that?
Thank you for raising this question. I'm impressed that you obviously have a fine eye for details. I should mentioned this in the video as it's very important for viewers who want to learn some from mistakes I made. To make it short, I am not able to slide those two ridge caps as you have pointed out that the house is in the way. I almost give it up on finding the alternative solution.
@@huangjianbin Thank you for the reply, I'm installing my Gazebo by the house like yours, did you have any water leak for not installing the ridge caps?
I have a similar install coming up. I noticed you are also close to the house with the roof edge. Was it hard to get the roof cover caps slid on with little space? I have about 1 1/2 feet of space between the gazebo roof edge and the house wall. Any tips for getting the cover to slide on?
I counted all the times you went back and forth trying to get the level reading, it was SHOCKING about 450,000 *times at approximately the velocity of186,226*miles per second.
You are a very good carpenter. Very detailed that wants to get it right the first time. My wife calls me a Perfectionist! Great video! Can you provide more detail on your electric lifter? Thinking about building one myself and think that lifter would come in handy especially with limited help. Wonder if this is something you can rent but need a little more detail about it? The roof appears to be the most difficult and lifter would greatly help. Thanks so much!
Thank you for your kind words. I feel happy for you that your wife calls you a Perfectionist. For the electric lifter I used in the video, it is a KSF portable electric lifter, made in Taiwan China. If you Google it, you can easily get on their website for more details spec's. Hope you are able to rent it locally as it is not cheap to buy just for one job.
I am stuck on step 26 Attached Twist Brackets They don't align up with gaps on top and on some post gap is on the bottom. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Hi thanks for the video. Thinking of getting a similar Gazebo with aluminum roof but wondering if it's loud when it rains? Water drops hitting the metal roof when it rains at night could be too loud.
All aluminium tiles are to be fixed to the wooden structure by screws, making it pretty rigid like one piece. Personally I don't think it's any louder than other roofs.
Yep, just make sure it is stable and secure as the weight of the roof is not too heavy. Definitely avoid any windy days for the roof installation, the large surface of the roof will pick up the wind easily thus making the job even more dangerous.
This is fantastic. I'm getting ready to build one of these Yardistry gazebos right up against two walls of my house, just like you have done. I plan to have mine overlap my house's rain gutters so that the water draining off of two sides of the gazebo's roof will go into my gutters. It looks like you didn't do that. When it rains, don't you have water dripping down between the roof of your house and the roof of your gazebo? If so, isn't that a problem?
As you probably noticed, my gazebo was built on a raised floating deck, its roof edge is still lower than the house gutter. If you want to overlap for rain draining purpose, the deck should be raised even more. Considering there would be no space left on the overlapped sides, I reckon it would be very tricky to get the gazebo assembly upon the instructions. Just my two cents. BTW, you can find my another video on how I built the floating deck. Hope it helps a little bit.
@@huangjianbin Yes, that does help. I'm curious, though, about what you do when it rains. Do you just let the water come down between the edge of the gazebo's roof and your home's gutters? Does it create a problem? If I could trouble you for one more thing, it would be a great help: What is the exact distance between the surface of your floating deck and the underside of the gazebo roof's edge? I'm wondering how far I would have to raise the gazebo in order for it to overlap my gutters. Thank you again.
Because the wooden "eaves board" is right under the Aluminum roof sheet, so it is better to have the gutters under those eaves board. The distance from the decking floor to the bottom side of the eaves board is 2400 mm.
Great video. I just got my 12x16 gazebo and will start working on it soon. Smart move with the electric lift and the post/pipe leveler. Did you find any hick-ups with the bringing the four panels of the roof together? Any suggestions?
Make sure you have 2~3 people around and ready to help while you install the roof sections. Be very careful when working on ladders. The roof sections are not as heavy as you might imagine. Hope you enjoy the process.

Hi, I want to get this Costco 3.7 m x 4.3 m Wood Gazebo. I have a concrete slab ready which is meant to take the weight etc. However the dimensions on my concrete slab are 5m x 3.6m. Wanted to confirm if the dimensions provided are for the Roof perimeter or the base of the posts. Could someone advise the actual distance between the outer edges of the posts
@@huangjianbin Thanks. Just to confirm, we are talking about the 4.3 X 3.7 Gazebo? When you say post to post are you referring to the outer edge of the post? If so, I will need 3.37m depth which I should be able to manage given my concrete slab is 3.6m. The width is no issue.
Better check with your local council. I built it on a floating deck, both are not permanent structures, so I don't think any permit is required for this case.
Wouldn't it be hell if you found out after you've finished putting all together that you misread the instructions and you had to go through it all over again: YIPS!
I have to clap for your use of that electric lift. Best idea I've seen, especially since I'm halfway through constructing mine totally by myself.

@@samzainy3196 There is only a tiny gap between the two sections. I didn't see much rain leaking from there.
@@huangjianbin Is there no way to slide the ridge caps from the other direction (starting at the peak)?
@@jeffs6036 Yep, that's possible theoretically.

What kind the hydraulic lift did you used sand where can find one
It's a portable electrical lifter (ksf brand) using normal 10A power point.
You can can just use a 10 feet 4x4, works just as well

Over kill on measuring the 4 corner post
I did spend quite a while to finish the measuring so I knew there was no more obvious space to improve. They are fundamental in my understanding.
I’m Interested in purchasing this, but with the aluminum roof… is it pretty load when it rains? Thanks

Yes, I have only one gazebo in my backyard. It's the measurement between the external edges of the post. 😎
if i have a sloped patio, how
so i level it? is there shims i can buy?
What do you mean by "a sloped patio"? A patio built on a sloped land?
Do you have to get a permit for these gazebos?
Better check with your local council. I built it on a floating deck, both are not permanent structures, so I don't think any permit is required for this case.
Did you secure the posts to the deck??
Yes
I did a gazebo [19 x 12 ft.] I consider that take too much time to install it. Also you need a helper
I agree with you. This job can't be tackled by a single person, considering safety and efficiency aspects.
how do you secure the posts?
Each post has two angles mounted at its bottom which you can see in my video, only need to screw them down to the floor board.
Wouldn't it be hell if you found out after you've finished putting all together that you misread the instructions and you had to go through it all over again: YIPS!
I can only assume that right about now you're thinking perhaps; why did I ever buy this monstrosity of a massive jigsaw puzzle of nuts & bolts?
