Tourist Open Gazebo 3.4x3.4m

delighted with the gazebo, completed last week over 3 days with help of a friend. Excellent info from Richard ,posts and videos made the job straight forward. Took extra care to make sure all was level and ring beam completely square as advised. All in all delighted with the quality and final appearance

We have now bought 3 of these gazebos for our glamping pod business. They have finished our pods off brilliantly. They are great quality solid units.
They cover our hot tubs perfectly and look great.
Assembly is straight forward takes 5 hours or so mostly spent nailing the tiles on. You need longer felt nails than they supply, we use 20mm nails and even 25mm.
We also used a nail gun for the sarking boards as we don’t intend to take them down ever.
The company that delivers the kits are also really good. They have always been happy to run up our hill with their forklifts without question.
All in all very pleased with everything.

We live our new gazebo. The is always the great buying online that the finish/materials will be a bit but quite what you thought they would be. Not the case with this. Nice and chunky, well balanced and sturdy. I had no complaints from the chap assembling it either. The driver even went the extra mile to put the pallet just where it would be easiest for us, certainly not for him. All in good job, Tuin. I would happily but from you again.

Gazebo is up !, took me a few weekends but extremely pleased with it, very high quality product and thoroughly recommended.

Thanks again to Tuin for all your help with my questions, its not often these days that personal helpful advice is available within 30 minutes (especially on weekends when it’s most needed !).

Few comments re: my experience with building, hopefully helpful to anyone else considering buying one.

1. Take your time, especially with the shingles !

2. It definitely helps to have several people around for getting the main structure up, but once that was complete I managed the roof boards and shingles on my own (although would be faster with help).

3. Not for the the faint hearted, but after putting up the main posts and ring beam we then built the rest of the roof structure on the ground with the intention of just drilling all the pilot holes while it was easier to access and then planned to put each piece in place as per the instruction videos. But we then decided to see if we could lift the whole thing up while it was still assembled.... with 3 tall people, and a couple of ladders it is possible albeit a bit awkward and probably not recommended !.

4. After completion I went around and doubled up on screws in various places, mainly around the ring beam and corner supports.

5. I ran out of shingles, probably because I made several mistakes, but ordered an extra pack which arrived within a few days, also decided to get a finial for the roof top, again very fast delivery and made things a lot easier with keeping things neat.

So far It’s survived several wet and windy weeks, including hurricane Brian so have no doubt all will be well for a long time yet, just needs a few coats of timber treatment and lights to be fitted properly but that will have to wait until next spring.

Thanks again.

Brilliant. Excellent quality and reasonably easy to erect. It looks fantastic and so sturdy. Would definitely have another one.
