How are these anchored?

I used 3/8" x 2.5" lag bolts into my interlocked patio.

I'm sad we never got the big clearance sales for these a couple months ago like Nov 2021. $999.97 for the 12'x10'. I tried looking this fall, but nothing. I'd like a bit gazebo, but the 12'x12' is too big for me, and would attract attention and maybe permit questions.

So I guess it could be used with lag bolts on a concrete per? My neigboors had anchored theirs to their interlocked patio as well and it flew away on a nasty windstorm a few years ago.

Depends how deep they went. Interlock comes out as it ages. You wanna make sure your anchors get deep enough into the ground.

they had this model 12x12 Yardistry that flew away? i would be very surprised seeing that this thing weighs around 450 pounds.

Not sure but seemd to be one that was as heavy. I've helped then to bring it back to their backyard and we had to sawzaw the hell out of it because of how heavy the parts were, to bring piece by piece. It was a very severe windstorm though. The bolts didnt fail, the gazebo flew with the interlocks attached to its legs. Some parts were found 2 blocks away.

keep in mind this is fairly heavy. so if you have an older deck. i recommend a Sojag.

as for pricing.. this is pretty much as cheap as you can get delivered.... (unless you get very luck in Sept in the warehouse)

Not good. Watch out under heavy wind

I have this gazebo and have had it for about 2 years now. I anchored them down with tap pms and this bad boy has been amazing. We had wind storms, winter storms, and it’s sturdy. I would highly recommend this gazebo

Watch out for what ? Go outside and grab one of its legs ? Hold it like a kite ?
Once this bad boy is airborne, good luck.
My neighbor has one much smaller. Went over the house, dropped on the next door driveway and left a gaping hole in the brand new Subaru roof. The car was weeks old.
Either install over a concrete patio or use concrete posts.
And before you ask, yes, vast majority of township want a permit on everything that’s over 10’x10’. Some of the townships will not allow you to have more than xx % of your lot covered by a roof, house counted in as well. Example: the house is 40% covering your lot. The shed is another 10%. If the limit is 50%, you won’t be able to legally install it.
And call your insurance too.

Mines not in an open yard, it’s about 2ft from the fence on two sides. It’s gone through a few wind storms that we’re strong enough to send trampolines flying and there was no movement. Long lag bolts are useless for pavers since the packed ground underneath doesn’t provide any holding power.

Just wanted to share my experience with this. I have a 14x12 pavilion put up last year and I pulled a permit to get it done.

I haven't started my patio/landscaping project so this went up using footings dug 4 ft down. Due to many thick roots from mature trees and clay soil I used a manual post hole digger which wasn't the most efficient but I had to do what I had to do.

The footings used 8" sonotubes with a spread base on top, like a reverse spread footing, and I put in rebar to strengthen it from frost heave. The bolts I used to anchor to the footings were these

City inspection passed without question and my pavilion has been rock sold.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. Looks very well done. Question for you - does the roof of the gazebo block/prevent sun light into the house? Have you noticed significant difference?

Looks nice !

I agree with the other posts here to anchor it properly. I went with 10' x 10' from home depot to avoid the permit process (it is under 108 sq ft) and my backyard is small as well.

As for the footings, went with the sono tubes and expanded the top with concrete rectangular surface.
Used 3/8" lag bolts, don't exactly remember the bolt length but I guess it was over 6". The area was then finally finished with the pavers around it.

It's been rock solid!

Bought the 14"x12" for $1999 last summer and thing weighs 800lbs. This thing won't go anywhere, even without anchors. Only thing that will fly away will be the aluminum roof panels if hit by tornado.

I have anchors - and then thought twice about drilling through my pavers. I figure if it's going to take flight a couple of pavers isn't going to stop it.

I have the 12x10 - set it up with my wife. Took the day. It's a great product that's made in Canada. I had a part that was broken in shipping and Yardistry overnighted me a replacement.

You my friend, need to watch this scientifically accurate movie: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117998/
