Your gazebo can be the place where you spend some time reading a book or it can be a place where you can invite your friends for drinks. Let us take a look at the basics of building a gazebo.

The first step should be to thoroughly plan how you are going to build your gazebo and what will be the things that you will need. Arranging gazebo blueprints will be the right move at the first stage so that you can determine the course of action.

Any flaw in construction can lead to a disaster and will easily be visible in the final structure that will give your gazebo a very crude look. So pay attention to details and follow the blueprints carefully.

Make sure that you have all the needed equipments. Assembling can be difficult when you are lost at direction. This is where blueprints come to rescue by providing a visual image of what you are getting into.

Determine your gazebo size and the area available. Standard size of gazebos is 12 by 10 foot. For small gardens you can go for 8 by 6 foot gazebos. If you want your gazebo to hold large dinner parties then 14 or 16 foot gazebos are the best options.

Basic construction starts with setting the concrete footings over the ground for the structure. Before doing that, check that the ground is free of debris and is even. Gazebo is usually octagon in shape so footing is set over all the eight points and one right at the center.

Next step would be to install the anchor bolts that are set and attached to the corner posts. While installing the anchor bolts you need to make sure that all the corner posts are vertical and firmly straight.

Now you have to attach rim joist along with deck support frames. These are supposed to be attached with vertical posts and should be aligned.

Make sure that your decking board is nicely cut and carefully place it at the supporting frame. Straight decking board coming exactly from the center should be your main concern. Frieze boards are then fitted and then the rafters are placed at accurate angle. Mostly 28 degree angle is used but you can use whatever suits you.

Roofing panels are then attached to the rafters and you can finish of the roof with tiles or shingles.

Last step would be to add railing and balustrades. This is the step where you can add your own touch to the gazebo. You can add gazebo furniture or gazebo lights to add to its beauty. You can keep it simple or make it fancy by adding various accessories. This is the step where you get to play.
