It may not be as hard to build this gazebo as one might think. If you've built a deck, you can likely breeze through this project -- and if you're just a handy woodworker like most of us around here, these plans really put this project within reach. Just do like we would and take your sweet old time about it! You'll probably want a buddy to help with the roof. A full list of the necessary building materials is provided, along with large fold-out measured drawings, instructions for building, and other useful information. The gazebo is octagon in shape and measures 11-1/2' wide from flat to flat. Stands about 15' tall.
