Consider How You Will Use Your Gazebo
How you intend to use your gazebo will help you
determine where you should position it. For example,
will you use your gazebo for recreational purposes?
If your gazebo is mainly used for family functions, be
sure to leave plenty of room around it for activity.
Consider Your Privacy
In a cold weather climate, bare trees won’t provide
much privacy. Think of your gazebos surroundings
during all seasons to determine your best privacy
options. Consider the view of your neighbors as well,
when you plan the location of your gazebo.
Provide A View With Your Gazebo
Think about the direction you will be facing when sitting
in your gazebo. Do you have a special landscaped area
in your yard that you fi nd enjoyable? Perhaps there is
an area that catches a soothing breeze during the day
and lovely sunset in the evening. Consider these things
when you plan your location.
Preparing a Good Foundation
Your gazebo needs a solid and level foundation. The
area that it sits on must be able to support the weight
of the gazebo and the occupants who use it. If the
foundation is inadequate, it may shift or settle after the
gazebo is in place, causing stress that could DAMAGE
YOUR GAZEBO.
Place the gazebo on an elevated foundation (preferably
a 3” concrete slab). Be sure that the concrete slab is
at least 12” wider than the outside dimension on the
gazebo.
If you are installing a spa on an elevated wood
deck or other structure, we strongly recommend
that you consult a structural engineer or contractor
to ensure the structure will support the weight of
150 Lbs./ sq. ft.
It is strongly recommended that a qualifi ed,
licensed contractor prepare the foundation for your
spa.

General Safety Precautions
Carefully read and follow all safety
instructions.
When installing and assembling your gazebo,
it is recommended that two or more people be
involved.
Do not use the unit during an electrical storm.
Do not climb on top of the gazebo. While the
gazebo is made out of high-quality wood and
is extremely durable, it is not meant to support
weight. In addition, falling off of the gazebo while
climbing on it can result in serious injury or death.
Do not attempt any repair without consulting the
manufacturer fi rst. Unauthorized repairs will void
the manufacturer’s warranty (within the fi rst 90
days).

information and experience about how to get the most
out of your gazebo. Your gazebo retailer also has a full
line of accessories that are engineered to compliment

Planning the Best Location for
Your Gazebo
Most cities and counties require permits for exterior
construction and electrical circuits. In addition, some
communities have codes requiring residential barriers
such as fencing and/or self-closing gates on property
to prevent unsupervised access to the property by
children under the age of fi ve. Your dealer can provide
information on which permits may be required and how
to obtain them prior to the delivery of your equipment.
The following are some of the things that you will need
to consider when determining the placement of your
new gazebo.
