Costco Sun Shelters

[YippeeSkippy]

In case anyone is considering some new yard and pool features-

Costco has their 12x16 Steel Roof Sun Shelters on sale ($500 Off) for $2199.
You have to order online only though.

Did you buy one!?!?

 

[YippeeSkippy]

No. but it looks nice. So many folks here do buy various pavilions, and wouldn't know of this one unless they get the Costco mailing of sale specials.

Looks nice - do you know how it is anchored to the pad?

These are nice…we bought and installed one a couple years ago and it’s holding up well. Search YouTube for installation videos and tips. The leg pads have 3 holes for anchoring. Instead of that, I filled the posts with gravel as recommended on a YouTube video, and it has not moved even in extremely gusty winds (Southern California). These come with good quality mosquito netting curtains all around, and I highly recommend buying the optional curtains ($200 when I got mine). Being able to close the curtains to block the sun is very helpful. The curtains & netting gather at the posts and come with tie-backs for a neat/clean look.
Installation is tedious, but not difficult…follow instructions completely! Parts are well marked. Took 3 days for wife and I as we weren’t rushing…needed 4 people to lift/install the roof frame on the posts, which took less than an hour, then install the roof panels with 1 or two people.

If anyone has ideas for insulating the roof…please advise. This is great up to about 90-95 degrees, but radiates the heat to be uncomfortable above that.

Thank you. I have used this on low-slope hot-mop roofs, and it works well to block the heat - didn’t realize it could be used on metal roof.

Will these support an outdoor ceiling fan? I know some of them have a place to hang a light but I've never seen one with a ceiling fan.

My Shelterlogic Sojag Mykonos II is being delivered today, ordered the proper fit curtain kit. Getting very excited to actually have some shade in the yard this year.

I don’t have a metal roof gazebo, but I did buy a cloth roofed one. The posts have four screw holes on the bottom. I used Tapcons to secure mine to my concrete slab. Hasn’t budged at all.
