Are your wooden gazebos easy to build?
Yes, absolutely! We create all of our structures – gazebos, pergolas and pavilions for DIY home build. We do not specify that you need an installer.
Our products are top of the line. We use 100% premium cedar, aluminium roofing, and hardware. Structures are prepared as ‘Ready to Assemble’ flatpack kits. The premium Cedar Wood that we use is pre-stained, pre-cut and pre-drilled. Parts are all labelled and the hardware is bagged. Each structure comes with a step by step illustrated build manual. Another key point is that each page details the parts and hardware required for that stage of the build.
Would you use a carpenter, joiner or handyman to build?
No, not necessarily. A tradesperson experienced and knowledgable in flat pack builds of all natures would be better, if you really feel you have to bring someone in. Somebody like Flatplack Builders for example. Who has regular experience building flatpack items from scratch.
Do you need to buy hardware for the build?
Yardistry Direct supply bagged hardware with every structure. Each page in the product manual specifies which hardware is required for each build stage. In terms of anchoring, we supply post mounts with the structure. Therefore this gives you the flexibility to permanently install your structure to a pre-existing or new wood or concrete surface. The hardware to attach the Post Mount to the structure is included. You will need to purchase the hardware to mount the structure permanently. Source this at your local DIY or hardware store.
Do I need to anchor my structure?
Ultimately, it is essential to securely anchor a Yardistry Direct gazebo to the ground. Yardistry Direct include ground anchor brackets with all cedar gazebos and pavilions. Therefore every kit includes 8 mounting plates (2 per post) for mounting to the base of the post. Decorative plinths partially conceal these plates.
How long should it take me to build?
This is entirely dependent on how many of you are building and whether you have accessories to add on. Consequently the more accessories you add (walls, gutters, bar counters etc) the longer the build will take. Also, we always recommend it is a minimum two person build, especially when it comes to the roof. Ultimately, many customers set aside a weekend to build. So, the larger the structure, the more people you will likely require to assist in the build.
