Measure The Netting To Fit Your Gazebo

When you have the gazebo netting measured to fit your gazebo, take it home and lay it out on a flat surface.

If you are using lighter weight netting, such as polypropylene or polyethylene, make sure that the entire piece is unrolled so that it doesn’t stretch when installed.

If your gazebo has a curved top or bottom edge (such as some wooden structures), measure those areas separately from the straight sides of the structure.

Once you have all of these measurements in hand, here’s how to install each piece:

Secure The Netting To The Rod Rings

Once you’ve got the netting over your rod rings, secure it by tying a piece of string or rope through all four corners.

You can also use an elastic band if you don’t have access to anything else. If you’re using a knot, make sure to tie the ends securely so that they don’t come loose later on.

Secure The Rods With Spring Clips

Once you’ve secured the rods to your structure, it’s time to install the gazebo netting. The best way to do this is with spring clips that can be purchased at most hardware stores.

These clips are made of metal, so they’re strong and durable enough for use in any kind of weather conditions.

To secure them around each rod ring, simply place a spring clip over top of it and feed the netting through it until there’s enough space between them (about 1/2 inch) that they won’t pull apart when you let go of one end while holding onto the other end firmly so nothing moves apart!

Attach The Rods To Corner Post Of Gazebo

To install the rods, you’ll need to attach them to the corner posts. To do this, use a drill and screws to secure the rods in place.

It’s important that you use a level so that your netting will hang evenly over your gazebo.

Step	Description
1	Locate the corner post of the gazebo.
2	Position one end of the rod against the corner post.
3	Securely attach the rod to the corner post using appropriate hardware.
4	Ensure the rod is level and tightly fastened to the corner post.
5	Repeat the process for the remaining corner posts.
6	Double-check the stability and secureness of the attached rods.

Install The Next Ring On The Left Side Of The Gazebo

To install the next ring on the left side of the gazebo, you will need to repeat Steps 1 through 3. The only difference is that you will place this ring on top of your first right-side ring.

Make sure that all four sides have even spacing between each ring. The best way to do this is by beginning with your longest piece first and working toward your shortest pieces last.

This makes it easier for you to make adjustments at any point during installation if necessary.

Securing your gazebo to concrete is essential for stability and safety. Our simple guide on anchoring a gazebo to concrete provides proven methods to ensure your gazebo stays in place even in strong winds.

Install Rod With Netting On Right Side Of Gazebo

First, install the rod with netting on the right side of your gazebo. Then, attach it to the bottom of the gazebo and finally to the top of it.

Install Second Rod On Right Side Of Gazebo

Install the right side of the gazebo by inserting a screwdriver into one of the top holes and twisting it until it’s tight.

Repeat this step on your second rod, making sure that they are straight and even with each other.
Use a tape measure to determine where you will insert your final screw through both rods, then install another nut onto each post inside the gazebo so that they’re ready when you reach them later in this process.

Install Third Rod Set On One Side

Now you will install the third rod set on one side of the gazebo. To do this, follow these steps:

Attach one end of the rope to the left side of the gazebo. You will use this rope to attach your first rod set to both sides of your gazebo at once.

2a. If you want to attach your second rod set only on one side, skip step 2b and go directly to step 3a (or just 2a if you’re attaching it only on one side).

2b is for attaching it on both sides; I’m going with option 2a because my gazebo’s too big for two sets of rods and I don’t need them facing opposite directions (which would happen with option 2b).

Step	Description
1	Position the third rod set on one side of the installation area.
2	Align the rod with the designated mounting points.
3	Secure the rod tightly using the provided hardware.
4	Ensure the rod is level and properly aligned.
5	Repeat the process for the remaining sides if applicable.
6	Double-check the stability and secureness of the installed rod set.

Install Third Rod Set On Opposite Side

First, gather your materials and tools. You will need the following:

A hammer or mallet
Two pieces of 1/8″ diameter steel rod, cut to the same length as your first rod set. If you have a piece of metal that is already straight and long enough to use, great—you can skip this step.

A power drill with a Phillips-head bit (or a screwdriver if you don’t have one)
Two pairs of pliers

Once you have everything together, place one pair of pliers on each end of your first piece of steel rod. With both sets of pliers in place on each end, stretch out the middle section so it’s taut but not too tight.

Then tighten down that middle section by placing two screws through pre-drilled holes at either end where the ends meet in the middle (as shown above).

Repeat for second piece of steel rod before connecting them together using nuts and bolts or rivets as necessary (again shown above).

Install Horizontal Rods Into Netting Tabs

Attach the horizontal rods to the tabs on each post cap by sliding them into place, then tightening screws until they are secure.

Repeat this process with all four vertical posts, inserting each rod into a corresponding tab at the top of your gazebo, and then twisting counterclockwise until it is locked in place by tightening screws with a screwdriver or similar tool (if necessary).

Attach Netting To Hook At Top Of Each Post Cap

Hooks are at the top of each post cap. These hooks attach to the gazebo frame, holding it together and giving it structure. They’re attached to the frame with a wire or cable.

To attach your netting: Take some twine from your roll and tie it around one end of one looped end of your rope (if you have a different type of rope, follow manufacturer’s instructions).

Tie this around another part of that looped end so that there is no space between them; this will form an eyelet shape with two lines coming out from where they cross over each other above where they’re tied together in order to prevent any possible fraying later on down the line when using heavier-duty materials like canvas instead of thin nylon strands like what comes with most kits sold today).

Step	Description
1	Identify the hook at the top of each post cap.
2	Secure one end of the netting to the hook, ensuring it is tightly fastened.
3	Stretch the netting across to the opposite hook and attach it securely.
4	Repeat the process for the remaining hooks, evenly distributing the netting.
5	Adjust the tension of the netting as needed to ensure a tight and secure fit.
6	Trim any excess netting if necessary.
7	Inspect the installation to ensure the netting is properly attached and secure.
