  • Don't fear the +260 bolts and giant box; see teenagers with limited experience take on this real world project. In this video you'll see all the tips and tricks we learned contructing a 300 lb gazebo that will likely last a lifetime. This is an HR, I paid for this with my own money and wasn't compensated in any way.
    Here is the Gazebo we built in this video from Home Depot: Hampton-Bay-10-ft-x-10-ft-Holden-Outdoor-Patio-Black-Hard-Top-Galvanized-Steel-Gazebo
    Here's a similar version on Amazon: amzn.to/46ZjAD8

    1. It is awesome that you had a soft-top gazebo last for 15 years.
    2. I applaud you for having the teenagers work with their hands and problem-solve. Good parenting right there.

    We put one up. I anchored the posts in concrete Sonotube. A little time consuming with only my wife. We’re in our 70s. Really nicely engineered. But keep it squared to help all the holes line up. We’re happy.

    Great video. Just bought the same gazebo, how did you anchor down the gazebo to the deck?

    • @MakeItorBreakItNow
      @MakeItorBreakItNow  Рік тому +1

      Its not anchored except for its weight. We've have over +60 mph winds since we put this in place and doesn't move. Its also contained in the railing around the deck.

    • @MakeItorBreakItNow

      Sure, you could get some pavers, flat stones, and bury some or all, depending on how much adjusting you need.

      okay the post outside to outside are 8 ft 9 in, there's a square base on the bottom that goes out another 2 inches outside of the post, so on my deck it's out to 9 ft 1in. but the roof extends out to 10 ft X 10ft

      You used one of the rubber washer/spacers on top to screw the roof down, what spacer did you use underneath? An additional rubber spacer or just one of the plain metal spacers?

    Parking it that close to a window will cause some issues. Interesting previous installation with zip ties. I've been in the building trades for three decades. You have allot going on there. I would not recommend your installation to others. But if it works for you more power to yah.
