How to build a gazebo


If you really want to build an amazing addition to your backyard, we recommend you to pay attention to the following instructions, as you are about to witness a brilliant idea for any house owner.

However, before starting the actual construction of your outdoor gazebo, we recommend you to take into account a few preliminary steps that will make all the difference between a failed project and an amazing one. Therefore, go to the local town hall to get accustomed with the local building codes. Taking into account that this is a permanent construction, chances are you need a building permit. However, look at the full half of the glass, as the requirements will help you design the ideal gazebo that will last for many years in a row.





As you can easily notice in the diagram, you need to start the building project by assembling the floor frame. You need to set the posts in concrete, as to add support to the whole construction. Plumb the posts with a  spirit level before setting them in concrete and use temporarily braces until the concrete dries out. Next, fit the joists to the gazebo and the decking board. You need to align everything with attention, otherwise the end result won't raise up to your expectations.




Building the roof of the for the square gazebo is another story, as it requires a great deal of craftsmanship. There are many angle cuts you need to make when assembling the gazebo roof, so make sure you ask a skilled friend to assist you while getting the job done.

Fit the rafters to the structure and lock them tightly into place using galvanized screws. Drill pilot holes through the components before inserting the screws, to prevent the wood from splitting. Adjust the slope of the roof to suit your needs and tastes. Cover the structure with 3/4" plywood sheets. Afterwards, install tar paper and asphalt shingles.
