- TREATING YOUR GAZEBO -
■Staining...
This Gazebo is constructed of a long-lasting western ce-
dar. Untreated cedar exposed to sunlight will eventually
weather to a silver-grey color. To validate your warranty
and to help keep the original red color, read your warranty
page on maintaining your Gazebo. Applying a minimum of
two coats of oil based penetrating stain WITHIN 30 DAYS
(required by warranty). Some sanding to remove rough
edges and natural wood stains may be required prior to
staining. Your Gazebo roof is not waterproof unless it is
shingled. Caulking the roof seams before shingling will
improve the water resistance of your Gazebo.
Always wear OSHA-APPROVED safety
glasses throughout assembly process
■First...
Read these instructions thoroughly before you be-
gin assembly. Assembly is easiest if you follow the
steps in the order shown.
In a drawing, a dotted line represents a part hidden
from view (like a part under a panel).
Lumber is graded from only one side. Check the part
for the most attractive face and make sure to face it
to the outside.
■Check all parts
Compare parts you have to the list on page 2. If a
part is missing, circle the part in question in the parts
list and call us toll-free at 1-888-827-9056 .
■Assistance required
We recommend that you assemble this Gazebo on
level ground in the location it will be used. Assis-
tance is necessary to handle, t, and secure some
components. Two people are needed for some
steps.
■Check local zoning
Before starting construction, check with your local
building code ofcial for any required permits, vari-
ances, etc.
■Check Floor Kit Size
Before starting construction on your oor, make
sure that you check in the instruction manual to
make sure that you are building the correct size
oor kit for your Gazebo. San Marino 10’ actual
oor size has to be a minimum of 9’-3” at to
at or 10’ Diameter. San Marino 12’ actual oor
size has to be a minimum of 11’-8-3/4” at
to at or 13’ Diameter is recommended.

Wooden Floor Kit
Concrete Slab Floor System
SITE PREPARATION
•Site must be properly leveled.
•Site should have natural drainage to
eliminate puddling under and around the
building.
• Site should be covered with plastic lm
to discourage grass growth under the
building and to serve as a vapor barrier.
Before assembling your gazebo, you
must rst construct a oor system.
You can:
A. Purchase our optional pre-cut Floor Kit.
B. Purchase materials to cut and build
your own wooden oor.
NOTE: Our Precut Floor Kits have been
designed for normal residential use. It
is characteristic for the oor panels to
deect (ex) during normal use. If you
intend to store very heavy objects in your
Gazebo, you may want to consider add-
ing oor joists to reduce the span.
OR
C. Install a 4” concrete slab oor system.
IF USING CONCRETE SLAB FLOOR
SYSTEM
• Construct 4” Concrete Slab Floor
System.
•Upon completion of above steps, skip
“Floor Kit Assembly” section and proceed
to Step #2: Assembling Wall Panels.

UNEVEN GROUND INSTALLATION
Use treated 4 x 4 posts or concrete piers on each corner and in
center of deck. Hole depth will vary according to local building
codes. Cut center post 1-1/2” shorter to allow for Base Plate as
shown in Fig.1. Nail or screw Deck to top of 4 x 4 posts. Use
Simpson Tie or similar for each Concrete pier. See local home
center.
LEVEL GROUND INSTALLATION
Remove dirt to allow for Floor Frame. Shim outside of frame cor-
ners as needed. Follow local codes for anchoring requirement or
see local home center for recommendation.
HARD SURFACE INSTALLATION
Do Not Use the Base Plate in our Floor Kit for Hard
Surfaces. Measurements given on the illustration are
1-1/2” larger than the outside dimensions of the Gazebo.
You may choose to make your own oor larger than the
dimensions given. Step 5 shows you how to anchor
your gazebo.
(Hardware not included in Kit.)
WOOD FLOOR SITE PREPARATION
It is important to have a solid, at and level foundation for your Gazebo.
Carefully consider the recommendations listed below prior to creating your foundation.

concrete slab larger than the dimensions given. Step 5
shows you how to anchor your gazebo.
(Hardware not included in Kit.)
Dig out 4” of ground for concrete and 4” for sand/gravel
(per local code) so it is level. Finish digging 12” wide by
12” deep (per local code) continuous footing around the
perimeter of the pad. Use wood forms around the perim-
eter of gazebo foundation area. Use rebar as needed.
Pour concrete and make sure all points of the concrete
top are level and see Fig 2.
It is important to have a solid, at and level foundation for your Gazebo.

PARTS LIST
Local building departments require some sort of anchoring system to meet wind requirements. We
recommend Simpson HD2A (available at most Home Centers and hardware stores) or similar for a
anchor as shown in Fig. 3. You will also need (2) 1/2”x3” bolts (not included) with a rating of 500 lbs.
of tension or greater each bolt, (2) washers and nuts also for the wall to anchor connection. Also you
will need a Simpson 1/2” or 5/8” Wedge-All anchor, Titen Hd or similar (available at most Home Cen-
ters and hardware stores) for the anchor to concrete connection. If you have a wood oor you would
need a 12” long Wedge-All and a 6” long for a Concrete slab. Anchors need to be imbedded at least
4-1/2” into concrete.

Caulking the Roof Seams before
shingling will improve the water
resistance of your Gazebo.
CAUTION: Use 3/4” Roong Nails
when installing layers of shingles.
Install the recommended Drip Edge around the pe-
rimeter of the Roof Panels before shingling the Roof.
Use 3/4” Roong Nails to install Drip Edge. Snip the
top of the Drip Edge at corners and bend to meet
next Roof Panel.
Install a starter course of Shingles consisting of a
row of Shingles turned upside down. Attach with 3/4”
Roong Nails that are supplied with kit. After starter
course is completed, cut excess shingles off along
seam of Roof Panels with Utility Knife as shown in
10-A. Next, place rst course of shingles directly
over starter course in normal position and nail with
3/4” roof nails. Cut excess material off in the same
manner as starter course. Continue up Roof Panel,
overlapping Shingles as you go and cutting off ex-
cess.
To create Ridge Caps, take a shingle and cut it into
six equal pieces as shown in Fig. 1. Cut about 1/3 of
Shingle at top on an angle as shown in Fig. 2. Install
Ridge Caps (Fig. 3) over seams where the excess
Shingle material was cut off, making sure to cover
each of the angled cut ends of the Ridge Cap. Attach
each Ridge Cap with two 1” roof nails supplied with
kit (Fig. 4).
Place Metal Roof Cap on top of shingled Gazebo
and install Finial through hole in cap and screw down
snugly (Fig. 5).
Note: if you have purchased the second tier option,
continue to shingle the complete roof as the metal
roof cap and nial will be needed for the second tier.
