For all gazebos, regardless of model, it is recommended that the foundation extend beyond the dimension of the gazebo. For example, if the gazebo you purchased is 12’x12’, you will want your foundation to be 14’x14’. The reason for this is because it will be easier to maintain the area around the gazebo (mowing the lawn, edging, etc.) without damaging or scarring the gazebo. Also, in doing this, you will eliminate any potential problems, foundation-wise, in the future.

Assembly Basics

The following will tell you how to assembly your gazebo. If you have any questions, problems with material and/or parts, please contact your local retailer.

NOTE: It is strongly advised that you have a licensed professional install the foundation for your new gazebo. It is imperative that the foundation is level, as any damage that occurs due to an uneven foundation is not covered by the warranty.

When assembling the gazebo, the owner must determine what is the gazebo going to cover. If you plan to use it as a cover for patio furniture, then you can place the gazebo wherever you want it.

If the gazebo is going to cover a spa, we recommend that the spa be located in the center of the slab (for weight distribution) with the gazebo main supports mounted to the concrete at each of the four corners.

1.Prior to delivery of your new Cal Spa, we recommend that you determine where your spa will be placed. For example: if you are going to center your spa on the concrete slab, take measurements that will enable you to determine where the edges of the spa will be located. When done, mark the corner locations.)

2.Upon delivery of your new Cal Spa, notify the installation crew that you have determined where you want the spa located.

3.After the spa has been installed and is operating, the assembly of the your new gazebo may begin.

Important: This gazebo is a free-standing unit. As with any structure, it is critical that all the main support posts be plumb (vertically level). If the first main support post is not plumb, then the entire gazebo will be misaligned. The best way to keep the structure level is to use a level after each time an item is attached or tightened. This will ensure that after each major step is taken, the gazebo remains level.
