Hi Friends. Welcome to our backyard. By way of a virtual introduction, we're Dana & Art. This channel's inception came after filling a void in the step-by-step video we did on assembling our very first gazebo, published to our Spirited Wrenchers channel. Little did we know how popular it would become, and how many consumers are looking for that type of assistance with creating the perfect backyard with items such as pergola's, gazebos, and furniture. That brings us to now. We're hoping this channel provides help to our viewers like you, whether it be how-to assembly or help with a buying decision based on our videos/reviews. Thank you for being a part of our journey and we're excited to be a part of yours. Cheers!
Hi Jeff. It's holding up great. The only learning lesson was to take down the curtains during the winter when not needed but otherwise. No issues at all. Thanks for watching.
Hi Ramiro. Thanks for watching and sharing with the community. We really appreciate it. There are always more ways to build these than what we do. Lol.
Hi Brian. Thanks for watching. Not quite sure as I don't recall delecting any comments. Please try to share again. Would love to hear about your experience.
@@brianyost5131 Something with it must be getting caught by RU-vid community standards. No idea why as we haven't removed any comments specific to you. So weird. Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with them. We haven't heard that from others.
Thanks for watching. We completed it in 2 days but had we really pushed, we likely could have done it in 1 day. No other tools than what we show used. Hope that helps.
What are the functions of the Z and Z1, Z2 brackets. Is it imperative to have these installed? All of the panels are in place and I didn’t put these brackets on. Should I take it apart and install them? I am not sure of their function. Everything seems very sturdy and stable without them
Hi Joymama8. Thanks for watching. We appreciated it. Those brackets help hold the roof panels in place. We're really not sure how you got everything together without them and it all seems sturdy. LOL. If we were in your shoes, we would just hold on to the brackets to see if a problem develops in inclement weather and then install if necessary. Good luck and we hope you have many enjoyable days with your gazebo.
I just recently assembled this gazebo and found the z brackets to have absolutely no function once the panels were bolted in place. After 3 hours of trying to assemble just 4 panels with the brackets installed, I just went ahead and left them off.
@@geffmcleod4596 Thank you. I wrote to the company and their response was: "The function of #Z is prevent water leakage and make the roof panels more firmly stuck. Please tell me if you need replacement #Z parts. "💁♂
@@joymama5Nope. I kept them all but I highly doubt these brackets add anything to water leak prevention or stability. I would worry more about the lack of drainage in the channels at the bottom of the panels!
Thank you for watching and sharing the kind words. We really appreciate it. We agree. We lost our patience several times while we were trying to figure it out initially. Lol. We hope you have many enjoyable days with your gazebo now. Cheers!
Hi namor. Thank you for watching and sharing the kind words. We really appreciate it and am glad this was of help to you. We've learned quite a bite after assembling several of them. Lol. Cheers.
Hi Brian. That is fantastic. Thank you for watching, sharing the kind words and your journey with us. We really appreciate it and thankful our video has another success story under it's belt. We hope you have many enjoyable days with your gazebo. Cheers!
You are excellent at explaining the details. I really appreciate your video. I don’t think I could have done it without your knowledge and experience. 😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you so much Nancy for watching and sharing the kind words. We really do appreciate that. Thankfully we've had some experience assembling several gazebo so that helped with this one. We're so glad this video helped you out with your build and we hope you have many days of enjoyable relaxing with your pergola.
HI Anna. Thanks for watching and sharing the kind words. For the wind rating you will need to check with the Yoleny site as they may have it listed. We'll be doing a 1 year update video on this next month. They've had some wild weather in southern IL and there have been no issues with it. Cheers!
Thank you Mike for watching and the incredibly nice words. We really appreciate that. We know how those details can mean the difference between a smooth build and a very frustrating one, so we try to include them all. Cheers!
@@mikemorris5944 Hi Mike. Unfortunately we do not as we haven't assembled one of those yet. Our closest is the 12x20 by Kozyard, which is likely pretty close to a 10x20. We just haven't seen one to know for certain. Here is the link to that video in case it can help you. It's on our other channel. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w5KSewrJ-sc.htmlsi=haesCkvYARrWBx5h
Hi Mike. Thank you very much for watching and asking. Since we did this video last year, Yoleny may have changed up how they are packing these. I would go through your materials list to see if you are in fact missing something. Hopefully you are not. Come back and let us know how the assembly went if you don't mind. Cheers!
Thanks for watching and sharing. Sounds like an error on whoever was packing these. Hate to hear that. Please try to contact their customer service and if you don't get anyone, let me know and I'll see if our friend (who we built this for) still has their book so we can either scan it and email them to you.
If it wasn't for this set by set we may never have put it together. We did have to tweak it a bit. One of the long side center brace did not have holes in it to attach the panels. My hubby who is very handy made the hole. Thank you! }i{
HI Kiki. Thank you so much for watching and sharing with us. We're very happy to hear this episode helped you and your hubby out. Congrats to you both and an extra thumbs up to your awesome husband for fixing the manufacturing error. Haven't seen that yet, but it doesn't surprise me with how these are mass produced. We hope you have many, many relaxing days under your new gazebo! Cheers!
Hi John. Thank you very much for watching and sharing with us. We really appreciate it and thankful that this episode was helpful to you. Those panels can certainly make someone lose their mind. LOL. Cheers!
Hi Michael. Thank you for watching and sharing. We appreciate that. Hate to hear about the leaking. I haven't heard any reports from my sister (we built it for her house) but I'll check in to see just to make sure. I'll circle back if I hear anything different.
Finally finished our 10x12 with your help and my wife. we are both short . so the challenge was more evident. i know. How short? I am 5'4 and my wife 5' . I watched your helpful video 3 times . counting that and two rain delays, it took us just shy of three days to put it together.
Hi Teodoro. Thank you so much for watching and sharing your journey with us. We really do appreciate it. Congratulations on your build. We certainly understand the vertically challenged part. I'm 5'6 and Dana is 5'3. Glad you both worked through the challenges together to get it done. We hope you have many enjoyable days under your gazebo. Cheers!
Hi Jawama. Thank you for watching and asking.We appreciate it. Unfortunately we do not. Dana is 5'3" for scale. The boxes were all a 2-person carry for the most part. Hope that helps some.
Absolutely beautiful pergola and assembly guidance. This is going to help anyone that purchases this. Thanks for sharing with everyone and good luck with the new channel. You both deserve it!
Thank you brother. We appreciate your support and the kind words. It means a lot to us! This property is my sister and brother-in-laws place and it's definite nice. Even nicer with the pergola. LOL.
This thing is a beast! What a beautiful addition for a backyard. Great tip to get all the parts together before you start. I can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve not had all the hardware for assembly’s
Thank you watching and sharing Matt. We really appreciate it. This was our first pergola of this size and it just goes perfectly with this particular location. I'm hoping they have furniture when we go back so we can relax and enjoy without the work. LOL. Cheers!
