Best purchase for my yard in a decade or longer. Having said that, I wouldn't want to build another one.

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’re in the northeast” with time of the worst Philly area accents I’ve ever heard

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.

For around $99 dollars, really?

I'm reversing my beams now! After looking at the pictures and thinking it doesn't matter, then thinking more about it that the roof center bracket will interfere with the two bolts!

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.

I own a business building gazebos and kids playsets and this guy's reasons are absolutely horrible. The only thing in his video that I will agree with is sometimes the plastic can be a pain but it's not that bad if you get yourself a little heat gun or a hair dryer

Costco doesn’t need to tell you any of this. They sell stuff and you buy the stuff they sell. Instructions should be followed , LoL!

I didn't have any of the challenges you identify.

By far the cleanest and most level demonstration of leveling out the pool and foundation demonstration I’ve seen yet.

Are the 4 main posts hollow? to be able to run electrical through it

Thank you so much. Really appreciate it.

What do you use for batteries

Do you guys think 500 is a good price to charge client for instalation on a concrete patio.

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?

Serv0 model number please?

Wish I saw this sooner. I have the exact pool. 4th summer and the rust is about unsafe at this juncture.

Joe V What size lag did you use? How far from corner did you mount the bracket?

how would you anchor it to brick pavers? Would cement in pots on each leg be ok?

Would you sell this or be willing to build another?

Looks good, I couldn’t use stone because they would wind up in the pool

More info please 😊❤️

Were you ever concerned about the weight since it appears you put it on a wood deck?

You also need to protect it with some kind of stain , lacquer or varnish.

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.

Nice work! Have you had any rocks getting under the pool or cause any problems with the liner?

Thank you!! Planning to get the same pool that you have and saw some bad reviews talking about rusting so your video is a life saver🤣🤣

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.

We for the ZeboZAP for the tv mount that straps onto the post.

❤ love this. Thanks for sharing. 🎉 I used the ZeboZAP. Strapped it on to the corner of the post in minutes. Was fast and easy to install.

FYI it’s not really that difficult just follow all instructions and at times you’ll need a second hand towards end

Thank you. I'm thinking of getting this pool ...needed a review.

Question, rather than comment. Are the base posts solid wood or hollow like some other kits I’ve seen? Curious as I want to add some additional features such as a solid back wall. Thanks,

It looks like your deck elevated. How did you reinforce the pergola posts through your deck or did you just mount the posts directly on top of the deck?

What about leveling? Concrete patio has pitch, therefore gazebo will not be level. Do we need to shim posts to level?

Is it also possible to build solid walls on 2 sides. I am hoping to do this and use Hardie board siding. Partially enclosed it. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for sharing this valuable info.. Applying for the permit first, if you need one, is something most wouldn't think of. I'm so glad I watched this ! The comments are a big help also, which you made possible.

Hi, Would you happen to have the link to that fan you've put in the gazebo? That model seems to go nice with the decor

Would A 40 inch tv fit

Awesome job on your beach cart! I also created my own electric beach cart, I thought you might like to check it out! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/osiDgNZqp82yZKc.html

Thanks a lot. I was planning to actually put this on artificial turf. But now I know I have to anchor it and I don’t want to cut holes in my turf and dig 16 inches deep to create cement blocks. I think it’ll just create an eye sore that is not worth it :(. Gonna have to see if I can return it when it’s delivered now

Do you think this is sturdy enough to hang a porch swing from it?

This gazebo was a nightmare to put together. If you're not a contractor or have contractor skills, don't waste your time. Just hire some. The plastic wrap was the most frustrating to remove. Putting the roof panels up was the most challenging.

Did you build extra support underneath the deck?
