Wicked1 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 I've got a huge deck. How big of a deck are you looking for? Girls love hanging out on the deck, just make sure you have enough deck for everyone to enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wicked94s10 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 save 75 percent of the cost and build it in your free time. I have never built anything out of wood but a few months ago my dad came to me with the dumb idea of wanting a gazeebo. A few weeks later me and my brother jumped on the project. Here is what we have done in about five days with no experience. Thinking about toughing the heat and starting the roof today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruit Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Looks nice, but is it strong? Or will it collapse in a heap of lumber and broken legs if a butterfly farts in the same zipcode... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wicked94s10 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 It appears to be strong, we went with metal braces on the roof boards to insure its strength. I made my brotherstand on top of it and it did not flex bend or move so it should hold up for a minute anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcat6183 Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 That thing won't break, it has cross trusses and upright trusses. That is pretty nice for a gazeebo for sure.I've built my fair share of them as well, but anymore I do it for friends and family after THEY do the designing, permits etc. If it is mine, I just get someone to do it becuase I don't have the time for the permits etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutch Posted July 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Looks like after talking to a few people. I might just go at this myself with the help of a friend or two and save me a couple grand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
