Pergolas and Gazebos? β
οΈ
A few weeks ago I helped a good friend of mine assemble and install his 10'x20' Purple Leaf pergola gazebo.
This was no easy task. First, we had to disassemble and remove his existing 10x10 pergola. We then had to slightly modify the deck to fit the new 10x20 monster!
We noticed the top deck rails were overhanging 1Β½" on the inside of the deck at both ends - making them flush mounted on the outside. To correct the issue, we un screwed the top rails and moved them to where they were now flush on the INSIDE, and the 1Β½" overhang was now on the OUTSIDE. This combined 3" was all we needed to fit the new gazebo. Problem solved πͺ
Last was the new build. The roof framing was by FAR the biggest challenge with just 2 people. But screwing several railroad ties together with 7 inch screws, and securing this unit to a sturdy ladder platform gave us the height we needed to get all the roof framing put together. It was smooth sailing after that! Attaching the roof panels, gutter system, curtains & netting and mounting it to the deck was a breeze!
All in all the entire project took 3 full days. But it turned out amazing! Now I want one of my own π€£π
Give us a shout if your pergola gazebo is still in its box and you'd like to take that next step ππͺ
