Just picked up one today. Man, this thing is heavy but good thing a lady offered to help me load this in my SUV. It was sticking out so you better have with you your ratchet straps to secure it. I will try to assemble this by myself so wish me luck. Thank you for this video. Btw, unpacking was done inside the SUV, brought every part inside the house. 😂
Well, it was a third of its length sticking out. So glad I was able to put this up over the long weekend. One question though, how to open the battery case for remote? I don't want to force it and damage it.
Perfect video. Thanks for all the helpful info ! We just bought the same model and I will install it over the next few days. It's great to see that this is a very well constructed and very secure gazebo ! There is about 500 bolts in the construction, making it super secure and a bolt driver is a valuable tool to make this build go faster. Thanks again. Richard
Did you measure after the main frame was built? We purchased the same one, 10x12 and started building it today. It doesn't measure at 10x12, little smaller! Kinda bummed cause instructions say 10x12, we built a base to out it on too. Wondering if you have the same issue?
@@diyourhouse2 it’s the exact same gazebo. My father had a similar issue on his with just one hole not lining up ( also the same model), but mine has a bunch.
@@diyourhouse2 I've assembled gazebos before and I anticipated this exact problem with roof panels however I didn't have any issues at all with this Home Depot gazebo... everything went together perfectly… Knock on wood
We just bought today the same gazebo and followed your advice…Step 1: wait for hurricane to subside before building! 😂😂 kidding aside showed this video to my husband and since it’s windy today here in Toronto we decided to postpone it next weekend. Hopefully we get the sun next eeek!!😊

Wow. Your SUV can hold a lot! :-)

sweet robot voice dogg, and even sweeter gazebo. WAITING for step 25 Brother!!!
LOL. Thanks!
Very Good!!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video! Just got the same one today from Home Depot.
How long did the whole building process take?
It took two days, but if I added the hours that I worked on it then it took one day.
it has a lip on the edge , where does the rain drain to
It comes out at the corners.
How do you open the back of the remote control to put in the batteries without damaging it, anyone know the trick?
My wife did it. She said it wasn't that hard for her.
We got the same one today. I can not open the remote for the light to put the batteries in.
Looking at the remote control, it isn't obvious how to open it. But to open it, use a sharp knife at the side to pry it open. I hope this helps.
Thanks! That’s actually what we did. I had to go in store and ask them because I was afraid I’d break it.
What type of screws did you use to anchor it to the deck?
Lag bolts are best.
Having a big problem getting the holes to line up on the panels. Did you run into any issues with that?
No I didn't. Is it a different gazebo brand?

@@wellhellotherekyle Mine only had 2 holes that did line up.... poor workmanship for sure.

I think you have the lights in the wrong direction wouldn’t the back ones be facing inside the gazebo
You'd think so, but there is only one way the gazebo goes together and that's how the lights work out.
Step one should be wait for Hurricane to subside before building
Good Point LOL

Just imagine if you would of done this without your wife just holding the instructions you prob would of been this in about 38 mins instead of 4 hours
She did help quite a bit.
