Gazebo

Project by john posted 852 days ago 411 views 0 times favorited 13 comments Add to Favorites Watch

Hi everyone
Here is a gazebo i built last summer.
It is 10 ft in diameter and made from pressure treated wood.
Once the gazebo was finished it was loaded onto a hay wagon and delivered to it,s new home about a mile away.

gorgeous. Look at that floor.

We are going to have to replace our cloth “roof” on our gazebo and we plan to put a wood roof on it…I’m sure it is going to be our biggest challenge yet.

This is wonderful John.. wonderful

Thank you Diane and Debbie

The guy i built it for bought the lumber and plans as a kit .
The first thing i did was throw away the plans.
They had all the deck boards running side by side and a really steep roof.
Since we live in a high wind area i decided to go with a lower pitch .

Nice work, I was thinking about building one at our new house. This one looks close to the size I was thinking about.

Thank you PanamaJack
Luckily for me time is not an issue. It really didn,t take very long anyway but it sure looks much better.
I only wish is was for my yard.

I don’t know about a bird house, it could become a bird cage pretty quickly but that would be a defacing act indeed. Great job John!

John, great gazebo! I wish I had a big enough yard to put one in!
