How Much Does a Gazebo Weigh?

When it comes to gazebos, you can either build them from the scratch or buy a pre-built one then install it. Of course, it is hard to know the weight of a gazebo that is built from scratch. But the pre-built gazebos come with the average weight indicated. Some of the pre-built gazebos are portable and are commonly referred to as pop-up gazebos. 

Most of the pre-built gazebos come with sandbags that anchor the gazebo firmly on the ground so that it cannot be blown away by a strong gust of wind. 

The weight of a gazebo depends on the size of the gazebo and the type of frame that is used. According to gazebo world limited, the largest gazebo is 8 feet by 4 feet, which weighs almost 100kgs while the smallest is 1.5 feet by 1.5 feet with an average weight of 13 kg. 

The type of material used to build the frame also changes the weight of the gazebo. For example, frames made of steel are heavier than those made of aluminum. The table below shows the weights of gazebos of different sizes according to gazebo world limited.
