10×10 Gazebo Hip Roof Plans

This step by step diy project is about simple 10×10 square gazebo hip roof plans. This is PART 2 of the project, where I show you how to build the hip roof. This hip roof is really sturdy and it has a steep slope. Check out PART 1 of the project where I show you how to build the frame of the shed. Take a look over the rest of my woodworking plans, if you want to get more building inspiration.

When buying the lumber, you should select the planks with great care, making sure they are straight and without any visible flaws (cracks, knots, twists, decay). Investing in cedar or other weather resistant lumber is a good idea, as it will pay off on the long run. Use a spirit level to plumb and align the components, before inserting the galvanized screws, otherwise the project won’t have a symmetrical look. If you have all the materials and tools required for the project, you could get the job done in about a day. See all my Premium Plans HERE.

Building a gazebo hip roof

Use 2×6 lumber for the hip rafters. Use a miter saw to make the 25 degree cuts to both ends of the beams.

Fitting the king post – square gazebo

Fit the hip rafters to the 2×2 kind stud. Plumb the kind stud with a spirit level. Drill pilot holes and insert 2 1/2″ screws to secure the king post to the bottom rafter.

Fitting the hip rafters

Fit the hip rafters to the top of the square gazebo. Align the edges with attention. Drill pilot holes and insert 3 1/2″ screws to lock the rafters into place tightly.

Cut the common rafters for the roof of the gazebo. Use a miter saw to make 33.5 degree cuts to both ends of the rafters.

How–to-build-a-hip-gazebo-roof

Fit the rafters to the top of the gazebo. Drill pilot holes and insert 3 1/2″ screws to lock the rafters into place.

Fitting-the-gazebo-roof-sheets

Use 3/4″ plywood for the roof sheets. Alternatively you can use tongue and groove boards. Align the edges flush and insert 1 5/8″ screws, every 8″ along the framing.

Fitting the trims to the roof of the gazebo

Use 1×8 lumber for the roof trims. Align the edges flush and insert 2 1/2″ screws to lock them into place tightly. Leave no gaps between the trims for a professional result.

Fitting the roofing to the gazebo

Install the roofing felt, starting from the bottom left of the roof. Secure the paper to the roofing, using a stapler. Make sure the tar paper overlaps at least 2”. Don’t forget to cover the top ridge with a 14” strip of paper .

Start the first course of shingles with a full tab, the second with 2 1/2 tabs, the third with 2 tabs, the forth with 1 1/2 tabs, the fifth with 1 tab, the sixth with half tab and the seventh with a 3 tabs.

Take a look over PART 1 of the gazebo project, so you learn how to build the frame of the gazebo. Fill the holes with wood putty and then smooth the surface with 120-220 grit sandpaper. Apply a few coats of paint or stain to enhance the look of the gazebo.
