The finished Gazebo is an Oblong Octagon. Computer ( CAD ) Designed for maximum material use, minimal scrap and incredible accuracy.It measures 7'6" x11' and is approx 10' tall. Looks great in the garden, yard or as an ADDITION TO YOUR DECK. These plans are easy to use. Trace the full size patterns onto your work, cut and assemble. There are no fancy woodworking tools or techniques required. The book measures 8 1/2" x 7". 15 pages with easy to read, 2D and 3D drawings that show each step. The PATTERNS ARE FULL SIZE...not just partially showing the ends of the piece to be cut. Patterns are geniune blueprints and measure approx 36" x 100" . The material list is complete...utilizing standard size lumber..pressure treated or cedar. The design is basic. You can customize it with scroll work and paint it to give it a Victorian look. Or leave it plain "country style".The entire thing can be built in a weekend. One thing that makes this possible is that the screw/nail holes are on the patterns. This feature makes assembly easy...like a kit. The total material cost is less than $500 (Of course that will vary depending where you live and your choice of materials.) At the bottom of this page is a complete material list. You can check current prices in your area.
