Square Gazebo Designs

Pavilion

If you want to build a classical construction but you don’t have a large budget, we recommend you consider building a nice pavilion. Therefore, we recommend you to make the structure out of metal or wood and to attach fabric to protect the surface from bad weather.

If you really want to impress the loved ones, we recommend you to set the pavilion on a level surface paved with flagstone. Choose appropriate colors that match the style of your garden.

Patio pergola plans

Alternatively, you could build a basic pergola with an exquisite design. If you afford the cost of the materials (weather-resistant lumber such as: pine, cedar or redwood) you can get the job done by yourself in just a few weekends.

Plan everything from the very beginning, making sure you adjust the dimensions of the pergola to your needs. See HERE a detailed article about this woodworking project.

Gazebo railings plans

If you want to build a regular-shaped gazebo you should consider making it square. Although a square gazebo doesn’t look as good as an octagonal construction it requires significantly lower skills and materials to get the job done.

If you want to learn more about building a square gazebo, we recommend you to take a look over these gazebo plans, which come with detailed instructions and diagrams.

I have free and step by step plans for this square gazebo, so make sure you take a look over them. As you can notice the roof for the gazebo is much easier to build, so it will probably take you just one week from pouring the footings to attaching the shingles to complete everything.

Last but not least, you can combine the simpleness of an outdoor deck with the char of an elegant gazebo, by building this awesome structure. I have spent a lot of time designing this project, so that the costs are kept to minimal and to make sure the design is really neat and beautiful. This project is a bold statement, so make sure you follow the deck pergola plans for a professional result.

Outdoor pavilion plans

A wooden pavilion is a useful addition to any garden, but there are a few things that require your attention. Therefore, if you want to keep the costs under control and to get a professional result, we recommend you to use durable lumber and to follow these instructions.

If you want to add value to your project, we recommend you to build decorative railings to your pavilion. Choose a proper slope for your pavilion, in order to drain the water properly.

Octagonal gazebo

The last gazebo designs we are going to talk about is one of the most complex backyard projects out there. Taking into account that you need different materials (stone, bricks, lumber and so on) to build the octagonal gazebo, we consider that you should leave this project to the professionals.

Choosing the right materials might be a tiresome job, but the end result will make the effort to pay off on the long term.

Lean to gazebo plans

If you are tight on space or if you want to make most of your yard, you can build an attached gazebo. You can attach the lean to gazebo to an existing building, to a wall or near the property line. There are so many thing you can do with this gazebo design, so I really recommend you to study the options and ideas before building the railings. This makes for a great recreation area, as you can set an outdoor couch and a small table, so you can hang out with the loved ones.
