Preparing a Good Foundation
Your gazebo needs a solid and level foundation. The
area that it sits on must be able to support the weight
of the gazebo and the occupants who use it. If the
foundation is inadequate, it may shift or settle after the
gazebo is in place, causing stress that could DAMAGE
YOUR GAZEBO.
Place the gazebo on an elevated foundation (preferably
a 3” concrete slab). Be sure that the concrete slab is
at least 12” wider than the outside dimension on the
gazebo.
If you are installing a spa on an elevated wood deck or
other structure, we strongly recommend that you consult
a structural engineer or contractor to ensure the structure
will support the weight of 150 Lbs./ sq. ft.
It is strongly recommended that a qualified, licensed
contractor prepare the foundation for your spa.
For all gazebos, regardless of model, it is recommended
that the foundation extend beyond the dimension of the
gazebo. For example, if the gazebo you purchased is
12’x12’, you will want your foundation to be 14’x14’. The
reason for this is because it will be easier to maintain
the area around the gazebo (mowing the lawn, edging,
etc.) without damaging or scarring the gazebo. Also, in
doing this, you will eliminate any potential problems,
foundation-wise, in the future.
