Step 5.  Assemble the 7 individual wall panels and 1 door panel 

2.

 Insert each of the balusters into 

one handrail plate.

3.

 Follow the same procedure to 

attach the other handrail plate 
and balusters together.

1.

 Each baluster should be inserted 

sideways into the appropriate 
cutout and tapped horizontally into 
place with your rubber mallet.  Tap 
the top of each baluster to securely 
seat it down into the cutout in the 
handrail plate.

6.

 

Assemble 
all seven 
individual 
wall 
panels.

7. 

In each of the 7 wall panels, connect the top and bottom handrail plates  

to the center baluster(s) by driving 2" screws into the pre-drilled holes.  
Keep 29 ¼" spacing between the plates.

Hint:

  

If you have 
the optional 
screen 
package,  
DO NOT 
install the 
angled 
braces in  
the door 
section.

5.

 Use two 2½” screws at each 

connecting point except for the 
high end of the diagonal brace 
which requires only one 2½” 
screw in the pre-drilled hole.

4. 

Next, arrange the handrail section, 

posts, braces and upper rail as shown 
below.

6

Use 2½” screws to assemble each individual wall panel.

Begin by inserting each of the handrail balusters into the handrail top and bottom plates.

Note: 

The long point of each 

post must face toward the 

inside of your gazebo so the 

roof rafters fit properly.

Note:

 For 12’ gazebos there 

will be 2 screws used. With  

an 8’ or 10’ gazebo there  

will only be 1 screw used.
