how do two people rais the roof and put the post under it

I don't think that's possible. It took 4 people to erect mine, and one of them is a body-builder and took a lot of the weight that the others couldn't handle. The roof had to be hoisted up on the back of a truck, and then the body-builder had to support most of the weight while the other guys put the columns in place. It took several tries, but they eventually got it.

Place ladder on the center of one horizontal with 2 people on the corners of the opposite side to balance. Then put the posts in each of the 2 corners where the people are. Don't over tighten. Repeat on other side. Then tighten all.

I highly recommend, for safety, no less than 4 strong people be used to erect the roof to its proper position. Two people could raise the roof to a height of about 3 feet putting milk crates under each side. In order to raise it higher (and remove the milk crates), you can use the large rectangular steel liners inside the packing crate to prop up each end. Once they are at the proper height, you must install 2 main columns at one end. Once these 2 columns are bolted in place, the other 2 are then bolted. We also found it helpful for someone to hand the bolts to the workers as they bolted the columns in place. Good sturdy ladders are also important.

Hi, the best way is to put roof on after assembly post assembly to avoid kiting roof much easier, thanks

My husband and I leaned it up on it's side to put the legs on. It was much easier that way.

We tried to raise the roof with two people and discovered we could NOT do it! It weighs a ton! We enlisted the assistance of two additional people. While they raised one side of the roof, one person slipped a small ladder under the middle of the raised side of the roof and another person attached two legs. Then we repeated this procedure on the other side. Once all four legs were attached and the gazebo was raised, we then attached the four smaller legs & and trellis', squared the structure and bolted each leg to the concrete pad.

I bought the post with it. And I sent it to someone else. I assume you could jury rig it with a 2x4 or some such as a base.

You sink the post into the ground, and everything is bolted to the post. I put some concrete in the post hole to make sure it stays in place. In order for someone to walk off with it, they would need to pull the post or unbolt each component. I don't see this happening.

There are mounting bolts with threads under the plastic tabs on the roof . You just pop them off and screw into rack. Easy .

Use a nail to gently poke a hole, put the bottom post through the hole then screw on the stud. :)

Pull up on the front poles! Go too Youtubetype in Island Shade Shacks there are several vids showing how to do it

Try and place the two panels with the doors, on opposite side of each other. Better access.Start with sliding the bar over two panels, then third etc. One person holding them together, while one slides the bar down. Roof goes on last.

There is a plastic extension at the bottom of the lamp which screws in. It is similar to the stake on solar lights. You can wrap wire around the post and around the stake which would accomplish your mission.

With the tarp staked, put the pole in the tie out loop and then use two guy lines to stake the pole. These poles are really good, strong, but they are pretty tall even at the lowest setting. To get set up ideas, check out youtube.

You have to put the roof on but it is relatively easy. Packing tape makes the frame stronger after it is assembled. They last a long time.

This cannot be completed without at least two people as the top fits like a glove. Make sure the front is tacked in place and pull the back tight with the poles in place. Then slide the front poles as far toward the cab as possible. Mine was a beast to get on but looks great. Hope this helps.

You have to secure the dome down using the ring. Look at the directions and it will explain how to do this.

Unclip the two clips that secure carrier in folded position. Unzip the top flap.Reach inside the carrier on the long sides you will find metal poles that come from top corners. There is a plastic sheath on one pole from each side. Retract it and then put the metal parts of the poles end to end and let the plastic sheath spring back into place to hold poles together to form top sides of roof frame. Repeat on the other side. The first time you do it you may have to muscle it a bit but then it is not as hard because the fabric accomidates better. I love this carrier and ordered one for for each of our three cats-so don't give up.

There is a pole on the bottom that you would screw onto a post. I don't think it would last if you hung it from the top -- it's not very sturdy.

We need to buy a ceiling hook from hardware store like homedepo and push it in and then hang the canopy

Place 2 legs on one side and the 3rd on the other side of the peak. The mounting brackets will adjust (rotate) to your roof pitch without bending.

The roof does slope. The wind does knock it over. It will need to be anchored or sheltered to avoid that.
