How to Build a Wooden Gazebo

You're proud of your yard and your home's landscaping. Now, you want to show everything off and enjoy this with other people. Additionally to providing a nice place to relax, a gazebo would make an attractive add-on and enhance any yard's appearance. You can build a gazebo on your own or you can buy a set that includes its own gazebo plans.

It will most likely take you two or three days to build a gazebo. Ask a few buddies to help and see the tips you will find next. They'll guide you with the process when you wish to build a garden gazebo.

First, you will need to assemble a number of materials to construct the gazebo:

Carpentry equipment such as a saw, hammer, level, stapler, tape-measure, decking anchoring screws, joist hangers, sheathing and nails;
Roofing materials like roofing felt, nails and asphalt shingles;
Miscellaneous materials such as concrete, a post-hole auger and landscape marking paint; and wood;

Planning is very important when you wish to construct a gazebo. You can design it yourself, or you can obtain gazebo plans from a third party. Make a note of the dimensions for all the pieces of wood your gazebo plans require.

You can acquire precut wood or you can cut your own to measure. Most lumber stores may cut wood to the correct sizes if they do not already have what you need. You'll need to know the measurements of all the wooden parts your gazebo plans demand.

Steps to Build your Gazebo

Decide where your gazebo will probably be positioned. Try to make sure the region you select is big enough to accommodate your wooden gazebo. Mark your intended gazebo's external perimeter by using your landscape marking paint, and then remove all of the rocks, boulders as well as plants. Using a post-hole auger, dig thirty-inch holes for every of the gazebo's posts (typically six or eight, matching the number of sides your gazebo may have).
