A few recent gazebo installs
A small sample of the gazebos we install across the GTA every season.
The part most crews skip.
- A slight slope on a patio or pad is normal. It is how water runs off.
- What matters is how far off it is. A pad that has settled or heaved over a winter can be out enough to matter.
- Build straight onto that and the structure leans, and the load stops sitting evenly across the posts.
- When it is out far enough, we shim with stone or custom-cut wood blocks until the frame is true, then anchor it down.
- Most jobs do not need it. When one does, it is quoted separately.

Add-ons, quoted separately
What a build actually looks like
Scroll through and the photo follows along.
We check the surface first
Deck, patio stone or concrete, it gets checked for level before a single part comes out of the box.
Assembly, in the right order
Frame squared, posts plumb, hardware tightened properly, working from the manual and our own experience with the brand.
Roof on, anchored down
Roof panels fitted and sealed, then anchoring matched to your surface, because wind and snow load are real here.
Walked through with you
Before we leave, we show you the finished gazebo, the curtains and netting, plus what to watch season to season.

Common questions
Something else on your mind? Call or text 647-915-8443 and we will answer it straight.
How long does a gazebo installation take?
Most 10x10 and 10x12 hardtop gazebos are a single-day job for our crew. Larger cedar structures and anything needing a base built first can run into a second day. We will tell you which when we quote.
Do I need a pad or deck first?
You need a solid, level surface. We install on decks, patio stone and concrete. We do not install onto grass or soil, because a structure sitting on soft ground will shift. If you do not have a suitable surface we build a base first.
My concrete slopes. Is that a problem?
A slight slope is normal and intended, so usually no. Pads are poured to drain. The question is how far off it is. If it has settled, heaved or was poured badly, we shim with stone or custom-cut wood blocks until the frame sits true before anchoring. That is quoted separately and only if it is actually needed. Most jobs do not need it, but we check first either way.
Can you anchor into a deck?
Yes. Deck, concrete and patio stone each take different anchors and we bring the right ones for the surface you tell us about.
Do you install gazebos you did not supply?
That is the whole idea. You buy it wherever you like, we install it.
What if parts are missing from the box?
It happens more than you would think. We will identify exactly what is missing so you can claim it from the retailer, and come back to finish once it arrives.
