a metal gazebo. It’s completely depends on size of the gazebo and how you wanted to make it.
Gazebos add an extra value to your house and its garden. Building metal gazebos are trickier
thing.
Let’s take a look how to build a metal gazebo in few easier steps –

 Step- 1: Parts and instruments for building metal gazebo

If you are introduced new to this work, you should follow the instruction manual of metal
gazebo. It should have the proper direction and parts introduction in this. It will be more easier
and convenient way to start your task of building your metal gazebo.
If it comes without manual, you should pack out the form of the gazebo on a flat surface and
check if all parts are present. Check if the poles and beams are present. You can find if any of
bolts are missing as you start the assembling the gazebo.

 Step- 2: Structure

After checking the parts of gazebo, it’s time to plan which part should attach with another one.
At first, place the upper canopy hub on the ground. Find the short poles that attached to it and
place the hub and poles in order, it will make a flat ‘X’ on the ground.
Now locate the lower canopy hub and set it up on the ground in a different spot. Place all of the
small poles that connect to them in their proper locations. Now you may locate the poles'
extensions and arrange them similarly. Now, there ought to be a sizable "X" on the ground.
Find each of the poles that make up the sides of your gazebo canopy as the following step. In the
end, you ought to have a square with a 'X' inside of it.
The only thing left to do is to locate the legs and set one at each corner of the square you just
made. Your metal gazebo frame should now be represented in 2D.
 Step – 3: Assembly of the upper canopy

This step should be easy since the form has already been filled out. The short canopy spokes
should be easily inserted into the top canopy hub. The spoke needs to go into the hub, therefore
there will probably be a little metal ball that you need to press in, known as a snap button.
Once the spoke is in, turn it until you hear the snap button seal the spoke with a click. To secure
the remaining spokes in place, repeat this procedure with each of them.
You can now pull the upper canopy cover over the frame you just made by picking it up. Once in
position, you can fasten it using the upper canopy hub's top finial. Place aside for a future
purpose.

 Step- 4: Assembly of the lower canopy

As with the upper canopy, you must begin by securing the spokes to the hub of the lower canopy.
Remember to press the snap button when inserting the spoke so that it snaps into place with a
click. These spokes will also have snap buttons.
If they have a second section, you can attach it once the first four spokes are in place. You can
proceed to covering it if it's one long pole.
Place the cover over the entire structure you just made. Make sure the attachments for the upper
canopy fit over the central hole. Rotate the bottom canopy cover so that the spokes and seams are
in alignment. Put off locking it down just yet.
Then, clip the higher canopy onto the lower canopy on top of the one you just put together. Make
sure the snap buttons are positioned properly. To keep the upper canopy cover in place, tie any
slack strings from the upper canopy cover to the lower canopy cover's strings. Continue with the
legs after leaving the entire structure alone.

 Step- 5: Setting up the legs of gazebo

To complete this task, bolts and nuts are required. Bolts and nuts are then used to join the panels
together by aligning them with the sides' existing holes. They should create a triangle with one
open side if done properly.
You could connect the coroner connectors on top once the two leg sides are in place. To do this,
extra bolts and nuts are required. After letting the leg stand up on its own, repeat the process with
the other three legs.
 Step- 6: Adding up the beams

If you're working alone, you might find this step simpler with legs lying down. You can work
with your friend standing up if you're working together.
Just position a support beam such that the holes for the bolts are lined up. Set it down firmly. The
opposing side should follow suit. You should now have a beam connecting two legs. Put them
up.
With the two feet still on the ground, repeat the process. Align them with the legs that are up.
Now, by also lighting up the holes, you may take a support beam and fasten it to one set of legs.
Move along the beam once you're finished, then fasten it to the opposite set of legs. Take the
final beam and repeat the process. You ought should now have two buildings. The first is a full
canopy, and the second is a frame with legs.
For the final step, assistance is required. The canopy should be raised and placed on the
remaining frame. the spokes to the corner connectors, and secure. Do exercise caution, as the
canopy can be fairly weighty. Once everything is fastened securely all around, you may lower
the canopy cover and fasten it using the provided straps.
You can now secure the gazebo if it is situated properly. If not, you'll need to secure it first
before moving it. You might choose to attach the side walls after it has been put in position and
fastened. The side walls can be closed or opened, and they simply clip onto the support beams.
Although it's optional, you can join the corner shelves to the legs. However, it does need some
assistance.
