Gazebo removal. Talk about a difficult and unwelcome job. It's difficult for a number of reasons. Not the least of which is the fact it's really large and hard to handle. (This is where a local junk removal service comes in handy, by-the-way). But, it can be done. Read on to learn more about the process of gazebo removal in Tampa and what you need to know.
What to Know about Gazebo Removal
Before we get to the gazebo takedown, let’s address what to do with debris material. After all, you’ll need to get the waste off your property one way or another. (Of course, this doesn’t include illegal dumping, which is never a good idea because of the risk.) Which means you’ll need to deal with it on your own or have a junk hauling service come to pick it up and take it away for you.
There may come a time when the condition of your gazebo is such that the best thing to do is to remove it and replace it with something else. Gazebo demolition can be performed by anyone with light to moderate construction experience, and it can usually be accomplished in a single afternoon. --Do It Yourself.com
If you have a truck and/or trailer to haul it, then you’ll need a few helping hands. Plus, you’ll have to “clean” the waste in most instances to make it acceptable for disposal or recycling. Of course, you can have it all done for you in order to keep working.
Tampa Gazebo Removal Guide
Regardless, when it’s time for gazebo removal, it’s just time for gazebo removal. The trouble is, how to best go about it. Meaning, what’s the right way to handle the job, especially if you’re determined to go the DIY route. Here’s a helpful gazebo removal guide to follow:
- Clear it off. Benches, chairs, and tables inside the gazebo must be removed, as does anything else that’s standing or hanging which isn’t part of the original structure. These include wind chimes, hooks for hanging plants, and other items.
- Take down the trim. Remove all the trim from the gazebo using a pry bar and/or claw hammer. This can be reused, if you wish or the trim could be thrown-out, if it’s not in usable condition. As you remove the trim, place it in a pile out-of-the-way.
- Remove the roof. Determine how the roof is fastened to the support beams. Use a ratchet or impact wrench to loosen and remove the bolts to take down the roof — along with a ladder or two.
- Pull down the walls. After the roof is removed from the structure, you can tear down the walls. Here again, the materials can be reused for another purpose, if it’s in good condition. If it isn’t worth saving, put it into a pile to dispose later.
