We love the outdoors, but we didnt have a proper living space out back. It was simply patio and pool. Lets change that.
Framing out the legs of the gazebo (or sun shelter, if you prefer)(04/25/2022)
Framing the rafters? Yeah. We'll call them rafters.(04/27/2022)
This center cap was the most difficult part of the whole thing. I highly suggest having more than on person do this job. I did not.(04/29/2022)
Roof panels done.(04/29/2022)
Our new outdoor living space. Now to figure out how to get all this furnature to fit.(04/29/2022)
Now that we like the location of the gazebo, it's time to pour some footers so the wind wont take it away. First we move it out of the way a few feet and scribed some lines. We removed the bricks, and dug a three foot deep hole.(05/06/2023)
We tried to get about two bags of concrete in each hole. We sunk a three foot piece of 3/8 stainless threaded rod in each hole. We put washers and a nut on the bottom to keep it from pulling through the concrete.(05/06/2023)
We put the sand back over the concrete footings and made sure the threaded rod aligned with the scribed marks.(05/06/2023)
Success! The threaded rods lines up with the existing holes in the pavers, and we dropped the gazebo legs right back on top.(05/06/2023)
