How to Assemble a Vinyl Gazebo

Beautify your yard by adding a gazebo. These outside buildings add charm to gardens and are a decorative shelter for your backyard. Consider vinyl materials to keep your gazebo attractive for years. A vinyl gazebo is easy to clean and withstands foul weather longer than the standard wood units.

Instructions

Difficulty: Challenging

1. Find a level area of ground for the gazebo. You can add crushed stone and use a piece of lumber to make an even surface if the area is rough.
2. Place the floor sections for the vinyl gazebo on the level pad. Put the floor boards together in the middle of the pad.
3. Put the posts in their holes in the floor of the gazebo. Match the corners carefully and make all the pieces in the floor flush. Fasten the posts in their brackets with floor bolts and attach a metal post plate to the top of the posts.
4. Set up the top railing sections against the bottom of the gazebo posts in the proper order. Ensure the decorative wider section, or door header, is at the door opening. Center railing sections on the posts and use a partner to hoist the railings to the top for attachment. Start with the door header and work your way around the gazebo, screwing the railing pieces in place. The rails align to each post with pre-drilled holes.
5. Add the bottom railing sections, with the hole in the bottom lined up to the bottom hole in the posts. The hole in the top of the railing lines up with the hole in the middle of the posts. Attach these bottom rail pieces with screws through the holes.
6. Slide the vinyl gazebo's roof sections to the top of the posts and align each section with the middle of the corresponding post. Hold each piece in place with clamps. Ensure the edge of the roof is even all around the gazebo. Place screws through the metal plate on the post into the roof section. Add the remaining sections and hold them together with clamps. Put bolts into the adjoining roof sections and hand tighten.
7. Line up the corners of the roof. Press up in the middle of the gazebo roof to help align the sections, and then tighten the bolts with a wrench.
