Of course, if you ordered your gazebo from GazeboCreations.com, you dont have anything to worry about, because all of their gazebos are shipped partially assembled, in easy-to-build kits. In most cases, using only a screw gun, a level, and a hammer, you should be able to assemble most gazebos in an afternoon, or, with some of the larger, double-roof models, over the weekend.

With the question about your building skills out of the way, what else do you have to think about? If you have a lot of flowers and plants, or extensive, expensive landscaping, you may be worried about destroying it during construction. Once again, because of the ease with which you will be able to assemble your kit, you probably dont have too much cause for concern.

On the other hand, its always best to be prepared, especially if your helpers dont have a clue - or a care - about how many blue ribbons your rosebush has won. Naturally, the best way is to do your landscaping around the gazebo, but, more often than not, the garden is there first. Therefore, at the outset of the project, you should make everyone aware of your prized plants and flowers. Even if some of the grass gets abused, theres no reason to sacrifice your award-winning roses.

Actually, your grass doesnt have to suffer that much, either, as long as you designate a pathway with stakes and string. You can also use plywood for temporary walkways to help distribute weight evenly and prevent furrows in your lawn. Take the plywood off as soon as the gazebo is finished, so it wont destroy the grass. If the project goes on for more than one day, take it off in the evening, so the grass can breathe. After construction is over, water the grass thoroughly, and go over the area with a heavy-duty industrial magnet a few times to pick up any nails or other hardware, so that you dont step on it, or run over it with your lawn mower.
