What’s a good sealer for the wood 🪵

Great video! Clear and helpful.

everything is well explained, just one thing that I struggled with is with the beams, on the instructions it says to put a 1914 beam( for the longest part) but it should be a 1913. hopefully this helps. as I struggled quite a bit. since the long truss assembly would not fit. with a 1914 beam.

The instructions were tedious but if you followed them exactly everything kinda worked out, but… The cedar framing for the roof had many bowed pieces, which caused problems with the metal roof alignment if the bowing was on the outside - which it did! The biggest problem is they make it look so easy to get the roof sections on top of the trusses - it is VERY hard to get them over the posts and into position -> you really need 6 people and 4 ladders to do this safely. If I had to do it all over again, I would not get this gazebo unless you had 6 people available. Likewise, it just seems like the roofing assembly could have been easier and better. Most of all - it seems like the whole structure was engineered to fit in the Costco sized boxes. If they had made the roofing support wood longer and the roofing sheets larger, the roof could have been assembled onto the trusses in 1/4 time rather than they way it is shown.

Just put this together this weekend. Quite a pain. I've been in the trades for years and can build or fix just about anything and I will tell you that the lack of QC in their wood and cuts made this a real pain. The long rafter boards were so warped it was impossible to get any of the edges of the metal roof panels to be flush on the sides. I had several rafters that looked like a stretched out "S". I wish I could attach pictures to this. Also the instructions state to leave a 1" overhang off the bottom and have the top be flush. Good luck with that. The wood frame is simply too long, or the metal roof panel is too short to do that. Has nothing to do with squaring the panel either. With 1" of metal hanging over the bottom there was about 3/8" if exposed wood on the top fascia. There's just no way around it, you would have to either shorten the rafter boards or rip a little off the fascia boards, period. The instructions leave a lot to be desired, and why they decided to leave the part number out of each step is beyond me. You'll have to reference the parts list at least 50 times as you go through the steps to figure out which bag to use for each step. The manufacturer could fix this in about 30 minutes and update their instructions and save lots of people lots of time. So frustrating. The video helped but was still lacking in clarity on some things. Overall I like the structure but better quality wood and better quality control on lumber and better accuracy on cuts so things actually fit like the video says they should would be wonderful.

Getting the pins to click in is goddamn impossible

Made a huge difference while putting together our Gazebo. Thank you making the videos!

Please make better written directions with clear pictures. So frustrating

At 12:40, they say to add 4 extra screws to the left edge of the roof panel. I'm assuming this should be done on both sides of the roof panel as even video shows the screws being inserted on the right side??

Not a bad project , like everyone else "not enough tape " , also my vent door was warped slightly & does not lay flat in the vent opening. The taping of windows is a major time killer ! But the folks at Yardistry were a great help when I called !

If I can make any suggestions to this. I just put this togeather with my son over the weekend. It took two people 15 hours total to put this togeather so about 30 man hours. This is a major structure and will require 2 people at MIN and an extra thrid person to help when putting the steel frame up for 10 minutes to jsut hold a few things and when putting the roofing panels up for 10 minutes. You can do it with 2 people like we did but it was sketchy at points and we are both strong and fit people that can lift a fair amount of weight! To the manufacturer, you put all these nice part numbers on all the bags for hardware then you didnt use them in the instructions. It would be really nice to use these part nubmers for the hardware "use a 5/16 x1/4 Big Washer (311)" adding the 311 really helps so that you know you are using the right ones. You did a great job to make sure nothing was called the same thing but the part nubmers make it fool proof :) Tip for people is instead of going back and forth remove the inventory page and tape it to your work table for refrence to look up the part nubmer! 1. Don't lay your wood in the sun, cover it with a tarp even though it's cedar and meant to be outside if the wood is still a bit wet it can warp very easily as it dries. 2. The 3 little tubes of sealant are just not enugh and are a pain to use. Spend $5 and get a tube of clear silicone from the local hardware store. It's easier to apply it an there is no need to be so worried about running out with those 3 small tubes that are really hard to apply with. Now Dont go overboard so that it squezes out everywhere but you also dont ahve to be so strigent! I also put a small dab of clear silicone on each screw hole to ensure it does not leak even a little. It's a little overboard i know but its $5 woth of silicone and if you have a helper hit all the holes as you screw it's really no time at all! 3. Get a rattle can of black rustolium matt black paint and spray ANY scratches you see in the metal. Just hit it once or twice to stop it from rusting! 4. When creating your roofing frame members (putting the long and skinny piece togeather) you dont ahve to do it on a level surface if you have a nice long straight edge (I had an 8 foot level) you jsut lay the boards on their side and put the 2 bolts in and throw the level across the top of it to ensure its flush and level as possible. Makes it easier to do this on a non level surface then trying to fins a perfectly level surface. 5. MAKE SURE any outside board in your roofing frame has a t nut on the OUTSIDE of it. The instructions show it but it does not show it well. The reason is all the outside edges will have trim put on them so they have to be flat and any of the inside edges will be butted up against another roofing panel so it has to be flat. Make sure the otside of each roof panel does NOT have a nut or bolt sticking out. You do not want to find this error out when installing the trim!!! 6. Your 3 roofing pannels, after building the framing put your 5 strapping pieces into it and put two screws in the middle of each board first. This allows your frame to still be adjusted for square. Once you are square put 2 screws in each corner and check again. Then you can do the rest of the edge screws, check for square again and then fill in the rest and again check for square. We found that if you put it in square then add your straping piece it can easily get thrown out of square! There is no limit to how many times you can make sure it is square. Alos it does not have to be perfect 1/8"-1/4" over 155 inches (12 feet) is fine but try to get it as close as possible but don't drive yourself nuts tryping to make it perfect! If its out of square, on th elong measurement corners have someone hold the corner and just give it a little kick and measure again! 7. If you actually know which way your weather is coming from based on where you're going to put this, you can overlap the sheets the other way to help prevent weather from coming in. It takes a few seconds to just put panel A on then panel B. then panel a then panel B. But basically you're doing the same thing. the overlaps are just going the other way. 8. Also the roofing framing will not always be true prefect rectangles some will bow out.. so try your best to center them. Also when putting on the roof clips the instructions are not very clear how they work. Might be nice to update how these work better. This vidoe exaplined it very nicely. The clips are universal but to be universal to either side you ahve to install them the opposite way on the right side VS the left side which was confusing! 9. For the roofing clips and all the plastic the gets caught in the pinch of the folded metal, There is no need to pull it out or make it perfect, just leave it as it wont be visable once you slide a cap over it! 10 After all the roofing clips are installed take one of the roofing caps and just run it up your roofing panel clip to make sure none of the roofing screws are sticking up too far and will prevent it from sliding up. If you find this out when it is installed on the roof it will be very difficult to get on the roof to screw in any screws so that the cap can slide up unubstructed! Ask em how i know, we had one screw that was sticking up just a little too far :) 11. When sliding the roofing caps that finishes the seam between the roofing panels the leading edge of that little section that is used to join the two roofing caps togeather can get stuck on the over hang where the roofing shsets overlap. I found a light tap with a hammer on the very end of the roofing cap helped it to get over this little lip. 12. There are going to be holes that you have a hole in the top panel but not the bottom panel. These are self taping roofing screws just press down and it will tap the bottom panel! 13. When we installed our pannels we installed the left one first and insted of putting it in its final resting place we set it down with the post in the second joist bay, then we installed the right one the same way then we installed the middle panel. This made it a lot easier to get all 3 pannels up there with no issues. You milage may vary but we found this easier to do small movements with all 3 pannels up there then trying to get each one prefectly into place and the last one was difficult to put in place! 14. Your last panel will be a tight fit. If you are having issues the video shows it a bit but really does nto explain it. push up both roofing panels at the same time and flush them up then let them sit back down again. It will wedge the roofing panels but it will fit. 15. After you put the bolts in to join all the roofing panels togeather do not tighten them yet leave them all loose and then go back after and tighten them all down. 16.Before you screw your roofing panels togeather you need to flush up your panels. If one is higher then the other then put a screw in the lower one and leave the head of the screw sticking up and use a claw hammer to bring the two surfaces level and then drive in a screw. This will make sure all your roofing panels are flush to each other! Example of the procedure (czcams.com/users/shortswZ6QWaCY6cY) Very easy to do and I know no one wants to put a hole in their nice new building but it's worth it.. Also make sure you dont pull too hard and mar up your nice new soft wood, You can put a chunk of wood under it to help distribute the force to not mar the wood! 17.. By design this Gazebo is meant to have the tall part of the roof be the front and the lower part of the roof is the back but I find it works both ways. We installed ours backwords because we wanted the water runoff to be away from the house! 18.. When installing the facia metal DO NOT over tighten the screws and make sure they go in flat, if you are using a power drill set it to the lowest clutch setting as you can dent this metal so quickly by over tightening. 19. Do not use an impact driver to install the facia screws use a normal drill driver. An impact as it hammers can cause the bit to cam out (jump out) of the screw head and you will dent that flashing really bad with your drill bit!

Is it possible to install it on the tamper of the Deck?

Do we put silicone in the pivot joints of the continuous hinge? The directions say to do so but the video doesn’t address it. Ahhhh!!! Why not address this? It seems odd to put silicone in a hinge. Hopefully someone knows what I’m talking about

What is the wind rating if properly moubted to a concrete slab?

2 day build for us. Not enough window tape with 4 roof windows to install and ran out. Carton was damaged during shipping and the door window had a dent in it. Customer service was great. Some pieces would just not line up perfectly do to warping. We ran an underground conduit under the gravel packed pad beforehand for lighting etc. Will add an exhaust fan and/or misting fan later. We also used 4x4 treated lumber for shed to sit on top of, and will fill in with more gravel and pavers. Nice shed for the money. Check the price at your local Costco first, as it may be on sale!

Assembled my brother-in-laws gazebo a few weeks ago. Can confirm Yardistry is a top notch company with a great product. Great fitment overall. 👍🏼👍🏼

I saw your CZcams channel. Your videos are really awesome

HiTthere, I have reviewed your CZcams channel and videos in depth and found the video content to be amazing

What are the recommended screws and sleeves for mounting this on an acrylic deck?

I saw your CZcams channel. Your videos are really awesome. I love it

HiTthere, I have reviewed your CZcams channel and videos in depth and found the video content to be amazing

Guys your film on the roof is a fuскing pain in the neck. I wasted 4 hours to remove it. It's nothing like it on video !!!!

it’s a nice gazebo i installed the 12x20 my self , buttttttt is not an easy task .and im handy(transmission tech)😣

Do you have any problems with leaking through the peak cap nut? Mine is leaking from the middle of the peak cap nut where it is hollow. I’m not sure how to fix it.

To add a ceiling fan, what is the minimum length needed for hanging rod? Will 10” work and have enough clearance from roof?

Thanks for the tips video. 3 of us are starting this tomorrow morning…. Unless we have some weather come in. In Northern Idaho weather changes 3 to 4 rimes a day. lol. I’ll update the progress of the build and pass along an info that might help the next construction DiY’er.

Can anyone comment on how these hold up to weather (this model or similar)? I have a galvanized steel / powder coated gazebo from another manufacturer and it has faded and rusted. Would like to understand longevity if I get this one. Thanks!

Why is this model not shown on your website, yet it is currently being sold at Costco? Is this a discontinued item (#2127608) and Costco is simply selling off "old" stock?

Your assembly steps are incomplete, you failed to show or even assemble the roof eave supports and you also failed to indicate that when screwing on the roof panels, the screw holes in the middle line that assembles all 4 panels do not match hole by hole. Is that the reason you guys included a 1/8 Drill Bit to drill out the holes on the panels for that section? Bad instructions.

Hi, I am installing this on the deck. Do i need additional support underneath the deck? Theres 2x8 bracing underneath the top deck floor . The interval of the 2x8 is around a foot.

Installing this next week. Is there a privacy fence that I can purchase that's compatible with it?

How long does it take to finish assembling?

Do u have to bolt down all the posts to the ground?

We ordered ours from Costco. I plan on using these handy videos . Can anything be applied to the post to prevent weathering ?

Anybody know what happen if we forget to place the weather strip on the panels

We built it today and couldn’t have done it without this video. Thank you!!!

Can the front truss not be attached and still maintain structural integrity? Or does the roof rest on the front truss too? Would like to have this completely next to the existing house so that the door could open underneath the front truss.

We strapped a tv to the corner with ZeboZAP!❤❤❤

SHOW ME YOUR MELONS

Anyone have some assembly time guidelines for this structure?

Good video, Thank You

ZeboZAP for the tv mount on the yardistry gazebo

Love the yardistry gazebo. Get the ZeboZAP to strap a tv on the yardistry post without drilling and invading he structure integrity of the yardistry gazebo.

If I wanted to leave one back truss and one right side truss off, is this possible? I am hoping to semi-enclose by building 2 walls.

Nice product. But it is not available on Yardistry website.

You think it’ll be safe to anchor the gazebo into pavers?

Hello, What are the recommended fasteners when anchoring into cement?

What is the point of background music? I am watching this video to learn how to install the greenhouse. Not for entertainment.
