With this design, you get the beauty of the gazebo without experiencing that closed-in feeling.

It provides just the right amount of character to an otherwise boring and unused area of property. Just add trees and some splashy perrenials and you're in business!





Building The Patio...

  1. Establish layout and prep ground for pavers.

  2. Dig footers.

  3. Pour cement in each footer and install post anchors.

  4. Once concrete is cured, install posts.

  5. Install headers (see lengths below).

  6. Install braces from header to post on both sides, all the way around.


  7. Install rafters (see lengths below). Start by attaching 2 opposite hip rafters to the corresponding sides on the core block.

    Position the joined rafters on the roof and nail in place. Add the remaining 6 rafters one at a time, securing to the corresponding side on the core block and nailing in place at the header.

  8. Install H2.5 rafter ties.

  9. Paint or stain.

  10. Install pavers.

Header and Rafter Lengths

  • 8 - 4x6 headers @ 6' 8-3/32" (both ends cut at 67.5° angle)

  • 8 - 2x6 center rafters @ 8' 8-13/32" (see note and image below)

  • 8 - 2x6 hip rafters @ 9' 3-27/32" (see note and image below)

  • 16 - 2x6 half rafters @ 4' 6-3/8"



The top angle cut of your center and hip rafters will be 22° (the same as the roof pitch which is 4/12).

Your half rafters will be a compound cut. The first cut is your roof pitch (22°). The second is an angle cut at 20.5°.
