These “Helpful Hints” were an extremely useful supplement to the perfectly written instructions during my assembly of this Gazebo from 8/14 - 16/2024. Thank you, Yardistry. Regarding the alignment (or misalignment) of the final roof panel, I learned that ensuring the posts are square is a vital step!!! I was out of square one inch, and that prevented the roof panels from aligning. Once I “squared” the posts, the roof panels slid into place perfectly.
Dont install panels in the wind. Its like a sail boat...great advice. If you dont have help, brace the first panel with a long 2x4, about 12 feet. Then, what i did, install two 2x4s from one end to the other on top. Now lift your panels on these cross beams. From there one person can lift while other installs bolts. Im 60 years old and my wife is a 105 pound 62 year old. I did all of the work and she helped with panels. If we can do it anyone can. BTW we had 2 decent step ladders.
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.
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 weather seal on the ridge clips doesn't even touch anything once applied and installed at the 2.75inch spacing?????

Best you can do is identify where it’s leaking and lightly silicone it with clear

I just made this mistake too wasted so much time
So when you. used 1913 to make the long beam, did everything else fit after making that adjustment?
@@Devinohm1992 I am running into complications. I have taken apart and reassembled steps 3-5 about twice now. It's a lot of tedious work!
