My Gazebo was all cedar and came on a huge pallet....everything needed to be assembled. I did a lot by myself but some of it was too heavy. The roof was the hardest since you had to assemble it has panels and drop them in place on the roof framing. Impossible to do by your self unless you had a crane lol. It wasn't fun for sure. Yours came out great!

It took me one day longer than it should of as i ended up with 2 pieces reversed and i had to rip half the frame apart to switch the pieces but then got back on track and finished it up today. It came all on one pallet and weighed around 450 lbs, so had to haul it piece by piece into the backyard first.... i'm too old for this stuff LOL

Yeah, ours was 1000 pounds and they used the forklift to get it onto my trailer and when I got home I'm like uhhhh ok now what. Decided to unbox it on the trailer and bring piece by piece to the garage and assembled all the little pieces in the garage first. But before that I had to stain all the wood. well not stain but a clear coating to keep the cedar that nice reddish color. Bought a sprayer to do that...there was well 1000 pieces. What a nightmare! Worth the work came out pretty well.

I installed the gazebo on the deck before I had any railings up because it would be so much easier without them in the way. Came out great, added some lighting too.

I was worried about the snow, but apparently its designed to have a near 10,000 pound load on the roof and can withstand 100mph winds as it has hurricane straps haha.

Its been through a huge dumping of snow with a couple feet on the roof, no issues and we had some near 70mph winds and no issues. So I think I assembled it pretty good, it hasn't falling down yet!

I would like to put up a gazebo, but first I need a deck, and my CFO looked at the accounts and said, "Ain't happening anytime soon..."

 

[snowbear]

I want a decent wood shop, then I'll make the gazebo.

Head got sunburnt mowing the grass yesterday it seems.

I tried cutting my own hair today....well its not horrible but its not like professional looking. I haven't had time to get a haircut and the hours are weird lately at the place I go to so I took matters in my own hands and try to at least trim it up for now and when I'm able to go I can get it looking better. At least I tried and didn't shave it all off. Could have been worse!

I cut my own hair, have for decades, but I only have three, so hard to mess up.
