This step by step diy woodworking project is about a 16×10 outdoor pavilion roof plans. This is PART 2 of the garden pavilion project, where I show you how to build the gable roof with a 6:12 pitch. Take a look over the rest of my woodworking plans, if you want to get more building inspiration. Premium Plans for this project available Here. Check out the Shop, as well, for full list of Premium Plans.
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 16×10 pavilion roof
Rafters—large-pavilion
Use 2×6 lumber for the rafters. Use a circular saw to make the 24.5 degree angle cuts to the boards. Smooth the edges with sandpaper. Make the notches to the rafters, as shown in the plans. Mark the lines before doing the cuts.
Fitting-the-rafters-for-the-gable-pavilion
Fit the rafters to the top of the pavilion, using the information from the diagram. It is important to space the rafters properly (every 24″ on center), otherwise you won’t be able to attach the roofing sheets.
Use rafters ties to lock the rafters to the beams. Insert 1 1/2″ structural screws for the rafter ties. Use 2 ties for each rafter, one at each end. See the diagram for the gaps between the rafters.
Fitting-the-roof-sheets
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″ / 2 1/2″ screws, every 8″ along the rafters, so you can secure them into place tightly.
Side-trims—pavilion
Gable-trims
Fit 1×8 trims to the sides of the pavilion. Align the edges with attention and insert 2″ nails to lock them to the ends of the rafters.
Fit the 1×8 trims to the front and back of the pavilion. Make sure you make a 24.5 degree cut to one end of the gable end trims. Lock them into place with 2″ nails.
Attaching-the-roofing
Cover the roof with tar paper and then install the asphalt shingles. Attach the ridge cap, as well. 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 then smooth the surface with 120-220 grit sandpaper. Apply a few coats of paint / stain to enhance the look of the pavilion and to protect them from the elements.

Don’t forget to take a look over PART 1 of the project, so you learn how to build the frame of the wide pavilion. The wooden structure is simple and the openings are wide, so you can make the most of the pavilion. This would work perfectly in any yard because it create enough shade for a few chairs and a table. You can even cover a tennis table or an arcade game, if you want some action.

You can adjust the height of the posts to suit your needs. In addition, you can even add railings to the sides of the pavilion, if you want to obtain a cozier atmosphere and feel the gentle hug of the wooden structure. In addition, you can even use metal roofing sheets, if you are willing to make some modifications to my plans.
