Corriveau Adjustable Winter Support Post for Gazebo – 78 to 118 in

Temporarily reinforce the center of your gazebo during the winter with this adjustable Corriveau support post. Made of treated steel, it installs beneath the central part of the roof to provide additional support when snow accumulates.

Its worm-gear mechanism allows its height to be precisely adjusted between 78 and 118 in, or from 199 to 300 cm.

Additional support during the winter

The weight of snow can place significant pressure on a gazebo’s roof. When installed correctly, the winter post helps transfer part of this load to the ground.

It helps to:

• Support the central part of the roof
• Temporarily reduce the structure’s flexing
• Add a support point during the winter
• Allow additional time for snow removal
• Complement the use of a winter cover

The post never replaces snow removal. Any accumulation of snow or ice must be removed regularly from the roof.

Adjustable height from 78 to 118 in

Thanks to its worm-gear mechanism, the post can be adjusted to the gazebo’s interior height.

Adjustment range:

• Minimum height: 78 in, or approximately 199 cm
• Maximum height: 118 in, or approximately 300 cm

The gradual adjustment creates firm contact with the structure without having to modify the post.

Treated steel structure

The post is made of treated steel to provide the rigidity required for winter use.

Its design includes:

• A treated steel frame
• A screw adjustment mechanism
• Rubber contact components
• A base designed to rest on a stable surface
• A height suitable for several gazebo models

The rubber components help create more stable contact with the structure and the ground.

Compatible with Corriveau gazebos

The winter post is designed for use with Corriveau gazebos whose height and configuration allow for central support.

Before purchasing, check:

• The gazebo’s interior height
• The presence of a structural support point at the center
• The roof configuration
• The gazebo manual’s recommendations
• The stability of the surface beneath the post

The post must rest against a structural component of the roof. It must never be placed directly beneath a thin panel or a component not designed to support a load.

Recommended installation

To install the post:

1. Remove any accumulated snow before installation.
2. Locate the central support point recommended by the manufacturer.
3. Place the base on a solid, stable, level surface.
4. Position the post perfectly vertically.
5. Extend it until the top section touches the structure.
6. Use the worm gear to achieve firm contact.
7. Check its position regularly throughout the winter.

The post must support the structure without lifting it. Excessive tightening could place unnecessary pressure on the roof or deform certain components.

Important precautions

• Install the post before significant snow accumulation
• Never install it under a roof that is already heavily loaded
• Remove snow from the roof regularly
• Do not exceed the adjustment range
• Keep the post perfectly vertical
• Do not use it on an unstable or sloped surface
• Check its position after every storm
• Do not consider the post a guarantee against sagging
• Follow the gazebo manufacturer's instructions

Damage caused by excessive snow accumulation may be excluded from the gazebo warranty.
