You can drill pad and use lag anchors and bolts that's what I did then fill pillars as needed with River rock. That's what I did before for an aluminum gazebo from Costco ten years ago. Not sure how heavy this one is my other one was light.

We installed on concrete pad underneath travertine. I don't believe we filled the pillars

I have one of these. Raised slab not necessary

Built one of these with the mosquito nets and rain gutters and it's amazing. Stays really dry inside. We installed the mosquito nets off center so the zipper didn't ruin the view and keep 3 out of 4 always closed and it works great. Permanent install of the curtains (screw in top and bottom) is the way to go. Paired this with the athena sectional from sams club and it's my new home office, love it.

Had it for a year and it's starting to weather, any tips on the best product to restore/seal it with?

I put the pavilion version together for my mom. In this new world of ridiculous prices, it represents a great value. Worst part was peeling the plastic off the roof panels.

You can run electrical wiring through the legs. Already added an outdoor fan and will be adding a couple of outlets. Another plus is there are a lot of videos on Youtube that will give you ideas.

I mounted mine to some concrete footers I poured and built a paver patio around it.

curious how the roof would hold up to snow. I would be worried with a heavy Northeast snow the roof would bend or collapse..

Gypsies via Craigslist are entertaining, if nothing else.

Any ideas on how to keep cats away? I have a lot of cats in the neighborhood that have no boundaries.

Buy now and get price adjustments or buy/return later in the season.

I have the larger version of this, I believe I got for $1600 ($1899-$299 coupon) around May of last year. I watched the price and over the course of the summer wound up getting a PA, a buy/return and another PA to bring my final OTD price to about $1000. Did the same with a playscape - wound up paying about $600 which is around half price, by the time all was said and done (and they're selling the same one this year too).

These aren't bad to put together. The roof is the biggest PITA with about a million screws. The protective plastic is a hassle to take off the roof without slicing your arms open with the razor sharp aluminum panels. My 12 year old daughter and I put everything together ourselves - then I had a couple other people help put the roof panels on. Probably took an entire day if we did it in one day.

My biggest tip with these type of projects is to take everything out of the boxes, pair like pieces, lay it out so you can find things and use a huge tray (I used old commercial cookie trays) to lay out the hardware and keep track of it. Then, one person is the ferret that goes and finds pieces and hardware for the NEXT step of assembly while one or 2 other people work on the actual assembly/nuts&bolts. This method worked very well and kept the work moving along.

PA = price adjustment?

Thanks for the tip. Have not done this at Costco without physically returning the product which is a ...

Raising the legs is unnecessary. The chance of wood rot from direct contact to the pavers will likely take decades. If you were to put it on grass it might rot a bit faster. But it would be many, many years for that to occur. The truth is the gazebo will not last as long as possible wood rot. It is quality made but I expect after 5-10 years you might get some damage, mostly from mold and drying in the sun, etc.

I have a similar one in my backyard. I would heavily recommend you anchor it. Strong winds will pick it up like a parachute..
Its very easy to anchor it by the way.
1. buy a masonry drill bit and use regular drill to make holes in concrete
2. use 5/16 x 3 anchors like: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Tapco.../203770110

you can usually find someone on craigslist to put it together for $400-800

Does putting this on your existing concrete slab requires getting a permit?
