Is it the,kind that comes in box with a metal frame and canvas? If so, this is what I did; I called some younger friends, provided beer, steaks, corn and salad. Read the directions and watched it go up. Fed them afterwards. We ate in our new gazebo.
Love Kelli. She's got the right idea. I called on a few friends when I had a garage demo and rebuild. Got nine guys, garage was up in one weekend, Had grilled steaks, and beer admiring our work.
Hi William
My friends are all older than I am and family all gone, but I bet you had a good time.......................... Boots
Boots, there are many people that want to help you. Contact someone at your local senior center they may be able to direct you to a group that wants to be of service to you. Also check with your local high school to see if they have any vocational training courses. You may be able to find assistance from the students there.
You could also put an ad in Craigslist under 'Help Wanted', explaining what the project is and what kind of help you are looking for. Are you seeking free help, or are you willing to pay cash for labour?
