Just wondering what number tooth sprockets you were using on the front and rear for this? I am building a similar cart with 48v 1000w motor and didnt want to use a gearbox as my cart is actually going to double up as a golf cart/buggy too when the cage is removed so I still need a bit of top end speed too at the moment mine is way to fast off the mark so just wondered what you were running?

We bought one two years ago 63 years old it took me a couple days to put it up it's on a cement patio My grandkids come over and help me put the roof on it actually went on fairly easy I don't know why you had such a problem with it but I had a little bit of carpentry skills in my background so that might be part of it Plus I had saw horses and the proper tools to do it so we're happy with ours we're just getting ready to put a new coat of stain on it this summer but we're happy with it all I can say is follow directions and good luck

I have a Meridian 12x14 and the same things apply for the most part. For anyone reading with the same model, I’d like to add that the wood, especially the rafters can come warped meaning the dimensions of the roof frames are off and uneven. This can be a nightmare as the aluminium panels will not fit. Another thing, you need a large and flat surface area to use as a work bench in order to check and recheck that you fit the pieces the right way around and to work out any skewing in dimensions caused by warped wood. This also includes the beams which have slight warps when assembled meaning it is pretty much impossible to get the xact dimensions for the footing as shown in the instructions. They can be up to an inch off meaning slight variances in angles which has repercussions when attempting to fit the roof panels. Having said that, it’s not CostCo’s job beyond telling you that this is not like an ikea job and is not a standard DIY project. You basically need carpentry skills and advanced tools. DO YOUR RESEARCH. I recommend installing the posts precisely at the given dimensions before attaching the beams which you then work to the expected shape.

Great video explaining what you did. I just installed one of these for a customer of mine. They purchased the 20x16 size. I never installed one of these, and we are very skilled contractors. I didn't know how much to charge them for assembly. I looked up reviews on reddit and came up with $2,500 it's definitely a challenging job, and you will need at least 4 people to mount the roof panels most of the work can be done with 2 people. I would not want to install another even for the price I charged. Once you complete the job, it's a very nice pergola. I disagree with removing the plastic it was no issue. The homeowner did that himself peeled off very easy. All said after completing the job I'm not looking to install another. Permit is required yes and we secured the bottom brackets into concrete with red heads. This viedo is great in detail.

@jaimecunha68892 ай бұрын
Just a tip. When putting the frame together, don't tighten down the bolts all the way. This will give you some play and make installing the roof easier. Once you tighten those bolts down there's no give and that's what makes the roof to not line up properly . When done with roof installation, go back and tighten everything down. Also using a 2x4 to hold up the middle will make a 2 person installation easier.

Definitely going to be getting this. Thanks for the suggestion. Only thing I want to check first is if it has oil in it as I have heard that oil or an oil based lubricant used for this will break down the pool liner . I guess the wiping it on would mostly eliminate that problem though?

Before this gazebo Costco had the aluminum one with steel corrugated roof like this one about the same size or a little smaller. I installed four of those by myself. The manual recommended 4 people to lift the roof all at once. Haha, no way, I had installed it section by section. I use scaffolding so it really helps with just one guy. Even if you had perfectly squared the base it will not be squared at the roof line. Must admit if the roof is off even 1/4" square it will be worse as you add more sections down the line. Can be corrected to force fit by using a few strong ratcheting straps to square it up as much as possible. All on concrete using tapcon as anchors.

You nailed it! I'm about ready to put the roof up and it's taken me a month. This is one of the most frustrating things I've ever built. Let's hope the person who wrote the instructions and I never cross paths. The same problems valera5641 was having, we had. If anyone is considering buying one of these and hasn't at the least, built a deck and dog house, pay someone to do it for you.

I've been researching these kind of outdoor structures and this brand I think is the best. Rated for a heavy snow load and 100 mph. Most are nothing close to that. I plan to build mine from scratch on top of a slab I'm going to do the slab from scratch too. It is pretty straightforward construction. I think you did a good job on this kit and it saved you many hours of time even though you say it took longer than it was supposed to. The kit gave you a great finished product.
