Gazebo Footing Basics
A solid foundation is crucial for the safety and longevity of your gazebo. Footings anchor the structure to the ground, preventing it from shifting, sinking, or lifting from high winds.
| Component | Importance |
|---|---|
| Footing Depth | Must extend below your local frost line to prevent heave during winter freezes. A common rule is frost line + 6 inches. |
| Footing Diameter | Provides a wide base to distribute the gazebo's weight, preventing it from sinking. Larger gazebos require wider footings. |
| Concrete | Creates a strong, durable, and heavy anchor. The volume must be calculated correctly to ensure you have enough material. |
