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.
