Thanks. I used the method. I added a tv using ZeboZAP into my gazebo without drilling into the post. The tv strapped onto the post and sviwels 360 and now with extra security I’m super pumped for spring and summer.

Hola vi tu video y no se donde me perdí pero en la medida 7 7/16 eran 5 escalones pero te sobraban unos números y dijiste que lo ibas a explicar más adelante si me puedes decir en que minuto perdí esa información Por otra parte excelente video súper bien explicado muchas gracias!!!

What kind of concrete anchor / screw did you use in the video? I like the screw type method vs the expanding when tightening type.

Can the bases be used on a sloped patio? If so any tips on the plumb install of the posts?

@ApexPergola

Жыл бұрын

If the slope is fairly low, they can be used as is with no change in approach. If a greater slope, you might have to either shim the bottom of the base plate (use stainless/galvanized washers or grout) or install on the slope and bevel the bottom of the post accordingly.

This is what I was looking for, thanks!

Installing a wayfair aluminum pergola on a 4" concrete slab with no footers. What size anchors do you recommend using? And how deep can I drill into 4" slab? Pergola foot is only like 1/4" thick, so I was thinking 3" or 3.5" wedge anchor embedded 2.5-3". Plan is to install 4-6in from edge w rotary drill. Lmk what you think. And thanks in advance! Great vid.

Wedge anchor will probably be ok. I like the Simpson Strong-Tie TITEN HD anchors too since they're a bit more foolproof.

@@ApexPergola Looking at something similar -- installing 8x8 brackets in an existing slab, 16" on center from the edge of the slab. Slabs only about 4" thick AFAIK. Between the height of the hex head, and the bracket/washer thickness, I imagine I should still use a ~5" anchor embedded pretty much the full depth of the slab? Simpson seems to lean toward their Titen anchors even though they make wedge anchors as well -- any suggestion there? Wedge anchors seem to have a slightly lower member thickness requirement for similar embedments

Usually not a good idea to have the anchor sticking below the slab. The TITEN s are easier to install than wedge anchors.

@@ApexPergola I would definitely use stainless anchors if I did that, to avoid any corrosion concerns. I guess when I say full depth, I’d leave a 1/2” or so of concrete at the bottom

How thick is the concrete? If 4" thick concrete , can the bolts handle the weight or shear >

@ApexPergola

15 күн бұрын

The bolts don't take any weight, that's taken by bearing on the post base. Appendix AH of the International Residential Code allows a certain amount of down load on 3.5" slabs. There's not much shear on the bolts.

How thick is that slab??

That seems a bit thin. You should have a footing under posts because all the weight of your structure is concentrated over the spot where the post is placed.@@JB-lr1tf

I can't answer that with the information given.

Where i live in ontario this is not to code because 'side winds will cause the concrete to crack.' Annoying as hell, as if a 4 posts and open cross sections are going to catch enough sideforce drag to crack a 4 inch slab.

It's better to put them on piers, and that's the way we normally recommend to install them. There are ways to "properly" install on a patio slab, but it can be tricky.

@Underz1

I'm in Ontario as well and was about to make this type of open structure, what did you do instead? I feel like most people just attach regular gazebo's to their patio which would create more drag than 4 posts. My neighbour has a shallower patio and just put a costco 10x12 gazebo on theirs.

I don't know that I'd say that. More that the SST catalogs are very robust in comparison. Plus, they've been around a lot longer, so inspectors are more familiar (if that's something that's important in your area).
