Great job putting this video together as you were installing. Took me 5hrs to install. Hardest part is the orientation of the fabric bc there’s a top and bottom, so my advice to anyone doing research/installing - take your time with attaching the fabric to the roll bar and the front bar. Pay attention to the ends as one side is square and the other is round. Pay attention to how you roll up the fabric and how it dispenses out, making sure the top side is actually on top. The rest is fairly easy with some handy-man skills. Good luck everyone.

Wow, this is an amazing guide on building a traditional deck! 🌟 Your DIY skills are top-notch, but I have to ask - did you hire a robot to narrate? 😂 It's like a futuristic twist on carpentry! Keep up the great work, but maybe consider giving the robot a day off and using your own voice? Your personality would shine through even more! 🚀👍

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

Wouldn’t you underlap the top piece of the repair piece to keep water from getting inside the repair? And overlap the bottom of the repair piece?
@diyourhouse2
@diyourhouse2 Ай бұрын
You can if you want. For the most part, it likely doesn't matter which way you lap it regarding the water, as the water should drain out of the corner at the bottom.

Wrong kind of outside faucet. Nowadays they suggest a anti-siphon outside faucet. Keeps it from freezing in winter time. What it does is moves the actual valve stopper is inside the wall. That way when it turns off about 12 in of water will drain out of the faucet to the outside and not leave pressurized water exposed to the elements
