14×14 Pavilion Roof Plans

by Ovidiu

 

This step by step diy woodworking project is about a 14×14 outdoor pavilion roof plans. This is PART 2 of the rectangular pavilion project, where I show you how to build the roof. This roof has a 6:12 pitch, but you can adjust it super easily. 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.

How to build a 14×14 pavilion roof

Fitting-the-rafters—14×14-pavilion

Use 2×6 lumber for the rafters. Make 45 degree cuts tat one end of the 2×6 rafters. Mark the cut lines to the rafters and then get the job done with a circular saw. Smooth the edges with sandpaper. Make the notches into the rafters, so you can fit them into place tightly.

Fit the rafters to the top of the pavilion, using the information from the diagram. It is important to space the rafters properly (every 16″ on center), otherwise you won’t be able to attach the roofing sheets. Use rafters ties to lock the beams into place.

Use 3/4″ plywood for the roof of the pavilion. Cut the sheets at the right dimensions and then lay them to the top of the pavilion. Leave no gaps between the sheets and then insert 1 5/8″ screws, every 8″ along the rafters, so you can secure them into place tightly.

Side roof trims

Fit 1×8 trims to the sides of the pavilion. Align the edges with attention and insert 2″ nails to lock them into place tightly.

Cover the roof with tar paper and then install the asphalt shingles. Make sure you also install the appropriate drip edges, so you can seal the shed roof. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for a tight fit.

Fill the holes with wood putty and let them dry out for a few hours. Smooth the surface with 100-200 grit sandpaper and remove the residues with a damp cloth. Apply a few coats of stain or paint to enhance the look of the pavilion.

Isn’t this a 6/12 pitch roof? You reference it as a 1:1 pitch…

You’re right. Thank you. I’ve corrected the error.

About how much did Part 1 & Part 2 cost in total for material? I’m comparing the cost to a cedar pre-made purchase from Costco to me just building it myself. $1899 pre manufactured.

See the Made from this Section, where people who built the project share info, including the total costs.

My footings will be 14.5′ apart (as opposed to 14′) but I think I can follow your plans pretty much as written, just adjusting by three” on either side and dropping the pitch slightly. Is that right?

Will the 6+6header be strong enough and hold up to weather conditions on the span for the 14+14 pavilion with or without the supports please let me know,thanks

As opposed to using plywood and shingle for the roof, I want to use corrugated metal roofing. Would I be able to utilize 2X4 instead of the 2×6?

The roof panels would be approximately 2 foot wide and 12 foot long, weight being approximately 11 lbs. per panel.

1×8 is hard to come by here. Any reason I couldn’t use 2x8s and spread them 22.5″ apart?

Reply
Ovidiu -

1x8s are for the side trims not for the rafters
