Before Your Structure Arrives — think about the gazebo, pavilion or pergola foundation

Please download your kit assembly manual and review it prior to delivery. Most people can put together our gazebo kit in one day with two people. If you don’t feel confident with assembling the kit, please hire a local contractor.

Larger kits (18 feet +) usually take 2 days to assemble with 3-4 people. Kits this size are generally installed by a local handyman or general contractor.

Foundation for Gazebos, Pavilions, & Pergolas

The gazebo foundation, pergola foundation or pavilion foundation needs to sit on a compact level surface. Options include having compacted gravel (3/4 inch stone), patio stones/blocks, or a 4 inch+ thick concrete pad. The surface should be level from all sides of the foundation.

Crushed Gravel Foundation

Using 3/4 inch compacted gravel stone is the most popular and easiest structure foundation choices. A floor is needed to have your structure sit on a gravel foundation. Gravel allows water to drain beneath and protects the bottoms joists of the structure. It is also one of the easiest types of foundations to install. The crushed stone surface should be level from all sides of the foundation. It also should extend 4 inches past the diameter of the structure.

Step 1: Dig out approximately 4 inches of ground extending 4 inches past the diameter of the structure.

Step 2: Fill area with the crushed stone.

Step 3: Evenly distribute the stone to finish grade. Stone should be compacted and level from all directions.

4×4 Runners or 6×6 (larger structures)

If using crushed stone as a foundation, you can also upgrade to 4×4 pressure treated runners under the floor of the structure. 4×4 runners help keep the gazebo level the structure and provide further provide against rot and decay. Often, customers add pressure treaded 4×4 skids underneath the floor with this type of foundation to resist damage from ground contact. If you ever need to relocate your gazebo/pavilion, 4x4s will make this handy! The placement of the 4×4 runners will depend on the size of the structure.

Patio Stone Foundation

If the ground is stable, level, and has proper drainage, you can set your structure on patio stones. Patio stones can be timely, but create a beautiful foundation.

Concrete Footings

Concrete footings is a popular option for larger structures to secure your structure to the ground. Concrete footings can be installed by digging the post holes and then filling with the proper amount of concrete and/or rebar. The concrete should be a minimum of 3500 PSI. The structure will be anchored to the concrete footing with post brackets and anchor bolts. Footing sizes will vary based on the size of your structure. The footings should be be below the frost line of the soil. Typically footings are placed on center beneath the posts and center of the structure.

*Size of footings may vary based on structure size and local codes.

Concrete Slab Foundation

A concrete slab foundation is the strongest method to provide for your structure. An advantage to concrete slabs is your structure wont settle or shift over time from ground settlement. The concrete slab should be made from a minimum of 3500 PSI concrete. The pad will sit on a 4″ compacted and level gravel base on undisturbed non organic soil.

Anchoring – Post Brackets

Structures ordered without a floor will include post brackets required to hold down your gazebo, pavilion, or pergola. The post brackets will attach to the posts and become anchored down with anchor bolts to the foundation.
