General Safety Precautions

Delivery and Set-up

Carefully read and follow all safety
instructions.

When installing and assembling your gazebo, it is
recommended that two or more people be involved.

Do not use the unit during an electrical storm.

Do not climb on top of the gazebo. While the gazebo is
made out of high-quality wood and is extremely durable,
it is not meant to support weight. In addition, falling off
of the gazebo while climbing on it can result in serious
injury or death.

Do not attempt any repair without consulting the

manufacturer rst. Unauthorized repairs will void the
manufacturer’s warranty (within the rst 90 days).

Delivery and Set-Up

Your Cal Enclosures retailer can help you with
foundations and more. Your retailer has a wealth of
information and experience about how to get the most
out of your gazebo. Your gazebo retailer also has a full
line of accessories that are engineered to compliment
your gazebo.

Planning the Best Location for
Your Gazebo

Most cities and counties require permits for exterior
construction and electrical circuits. In addition, some
communities have codes requiring residential barriers
such as fencing and/or self-closing gates on property to
prevent unsupervised access to the property by children

under the age of ve. Your dealer can provide information

on which permits may be required and how to obtain
them prior to the delivery of your equipment.

The following are some of the things that you will need to
consider when determining the placement of your new
gazebo.

Consider How You Will Use Your Gazebo

How you intend to use your gazebo will help you
determine where you should position it. For example,

will you use your gazebo for recreational purposes? If

your gazebo is mainly used for family functions, be sure
to leave plenty of room around it for activity.

Consider Your Privacy

In a cold weather climate, bare trees won’t provide much
privacy. Think of your gazebos surroundings during
all seasons to determine your best privacy options.
Consider the view of your neighbors as well, when you
plan the location of your gazebo.

Provide A View With Your Gazebo

Think about the direction you will be facing when sitting
in your gazebo. Do you have a special landscaped area

in your yard that you nd enjoyable? Perhaps there is

an area that catches a soothing breeze during the day
and lovely sunset in the evening. Consider these things
when you plan your location.

Assembly Basics

The following will tell you how to assembly your gazebo.
If you have any questions, problems with material and/or
parts, contact your local retailer.

NOTE: It is strongly advised that you have a licensed
professional install the foundation for your new gazebo. It
is imperative that the foundation is level, as any damage
that occurs due to an uneven foundation is not covered
by the warranty.

When assembling the gazebo, the owner must determine
what is the gazebo going to cover. If you plan to use it
as a cover for patio furniture, then you can place the
gazebo wherever you want it.

If the gazebo is going to cover a spa, we recommend that
the spa be located in the center of the slab (for weight
distribution) with the gazebo main supports mounted to
the concrete at each of the four corners.

Prior to delivery of your new Cal Spa, we recommend

1.
that you determine where your spa will be placed. For
example: if you are going to center your spa on the
concrete slab, take measurements that will enable
you to determine where the edges of the spa will be
located. When done, mark the corner locations.)

Upon delivery of your new Cal Spa, notify the

2.
installation crew that you have determined where
you want the spa located.

After the spa has been installed and is operating,

3.
the assembly of the your new gazebo may begin.

Important: This gazebo is a free-standing unit. As with
any structure, it is critical that all the main support posts

be plumb (vertically level). If the rst main support post

is not plumb, then the entire gazebo will be misaligned.
The best way to keep the structure level is to use a level

2008 Gazebo Owner’s Manual Page 1

Delivery and Set-up

after each time an item is attached or tightened. This will
ensure that after each major step is taken, the gazebo
remains level.

Tools and Materials

Utility knife
25’ tape measure
Cordless drill
100’ extension cord
Electric drill
Phillips-head drill tips
1/8” pilot hole drill bit
9/16” socket
Slotted-head drill tips
Sandpaper (various grades)
Redwood stain
Wood putty
Gray wash stain
Rags
1/2” ratchet and impact drill
1/2” carbide drill bit (masonry bit)

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 qualied, 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.

When scoring the concrete, make sure that the mark
is dark enough to see, as you will be drilling a hole in
the concrete. This hole will be where the anchoring
bolt is located. Also, it is the owner’s responsibility to
obtain a 1/2” masonry bit. This bit will be used to drill the
anchoring holes in the foundation. A masonry bit may be
bought at any local hardware store.

Spa Cabana Gazebo Assembly

Refer to the gure for steps 1 through 3.

Pre-drill the anchoring hole using a 1/2” masonry

1.
drill bit. Drill the hole to a depth of no less than 3”.
Using a hammer, insert the anchoring bolt by gently
tapping the bolt into place. Continue to tap into
place until the anchoring bolt is seated securely in
the hole.

After drilling the hole and inserting the anchoring

The nal placement of the main support posts is shown at right. The main support posts should be mounted no less

than 1” from the side of the spa. If the gazebo is touching the spa, and any damage is incurred due to contact, the
warranty on the spa siding is void.

The total distance between each main support post will be determined by the size of the spa and gazebo that was
purchased. The Cabana Gazebo has 3 sizes: 7’x7’, 7.5’x7.5’, and 8’x8’. The desired distance between each main
support post will be determined by the aforementioned sizes.

The list below will tell you what each distance should be for each gazebo model :

If the spa is: Then the distance between each gazebo main support post is....
