There are two problems with that.
Attach gazebo to deck.
To keep it from turning into an expensive kite we need to attach it to the deck.
In general because gazebos are larger structures the preference seems to be to keep them at least marginally in line with the overall design of the home or at least its accents.
If a beam is not located where you want a post put a 2x6 flat under the deck boards such that it runs across a number of deck boards.
I know the proper way is to put in some 4x4 blocking attached to the joists underneath the 4 gazebo posts.
Drill through the deck boards and blocking and bolt it down.
Never moved an inch even when we had those crazy winds last summer.
Carefully consider what you want from your gazebo and deck before deciding how to secure your gazebo.
This spreads any lift loads over a number of boards instead of one.
The first thing to consider is whether you have the space to attach your gazebo to your deck.
Try to hit the joist with at least one bolt per corner.
Then screw through the deck boards into the 2x6 underneath.
When you construct a gazebo one option for securing it is to bolt it to an existing deck.
Our gazebo came with round caps on the legs with four holes each.
If you can make some kind of holes in the gazebo legs then use 1 5 galvanized lag bolts with washers.
We were looking for a solution that will hold down the gazebo we built without damaging the deck.
A good place to start when planning a gazebo for your deck is with the question of whether or not you want to match the overall style of your home and the deck itself with the gazebo or go in a slightly different or contrasting direction.
With a walkway connecting the deck to the gazebo in the middle of the lawn this outdoor space truly becomes its own private area.
The external area includes your yard and deck gazebo.
My wife and i bought a gazebo for our deck.
While this option is the most secure it is not the best option in all cases.
Sliding doors built all around ensure year round enjoyment and comfortable airflow.
Stairs separate from the walkway open into the lawn and the structure s corners are softened with lush flowering landscaping.
