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.
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.
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.
Fit the common rafters to the top of the gazebo. Drill pilot holes and insert 3 1/2″ screws to lock the common rafters to the king post and to the top rails.
Use 2×6 lumber for the jack rafters. Use a miter saw to make 33.5 degree cuts at both ends. At one end you need a compound cut: 33.5 degree miter cut and 50 degree bevel cut.
Fit the rafters to the top of the gazebo. Drill pilot holes and insert 3 1/2″ screws to lock the rafters into place.
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.
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.
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.
This 10×10 gazebo is build on a frame that is made from 6x6s. You can easily add railings to the gazebo, if you want to build a serving area with an unique design. You can tackle this project in one weekend and save hundreds of the dollars. Please take a look over the rest of my woodworking plans, because I have over 1500 free designs.

hope to build this on our deck at the lake, want to use corrugated metal on roof though
That will work fine.
I made this gazebo and almost finished. Weather and funds created a delay and have a few things to finish. Where to post photos?
That’s awesome. You can send the pics here: https://myoutdoorplans.com/contact/
How much is total cost to make it in Canada
Would you recommend Pressure treated plywood for roof or osb?
DD
Both work. Plywood looks better, OSB is cheaper.
