Gazebo - Build
| If you've been wondering how to build a gazebo that will be virtually maintenance free, then having us build the Octagon Gazebo for you in vinyl is a great way to go. Vinyl incorporates a smooth, PVC sleeve over treated pine posts, rails, and braces, and this gazebo build should last a lifetime. This timeless style is available in many sizes, from the petite 6-foot gazebo to a 16-foot version that accommodates groups. A splendid combination of the traditional and the practical. |
| Standard Features
All of the features listed below are included in the base price. Our vinyl gazebos are made with treated pine that has been covered with an attractive vinyl coating, and are fully customizable--click here for more information on these options. |

100% Cedar Shake Roof We are pleased to include a Cedar Shake Roof in our base pricing for our vinyl gazebos. Cedar is one of the best natural roofing materials available, sometimes lasting over 70 years. What makes cedar such an excellent roofing material? The natural oils found in cedar help reduce the risk of wood rot and insect damage, while its straight grain helps ensure that the shakes will remain flat and true. Finally, you do not even need to seal the shakes--left untreated they will weather to a rich and rustic gray. If you do wish to preserve the original look of the shakes then we recommend applying a quality sealer once a year. |

Standard Vinyl Braces The braces included as part of our base model serve two purposes. The first is structural--the braces actually provide additional support for the roof of your gazebo. The second purpose is decorative--the braces add an attractive flair to the look of our gazebos. And if you would like an even more ornate look for your gazebo, let us add our more decorative braces to your gazebo. Please contact us to obtain more information about customizable options. |

Standard Vinyl 4 x 4 Posts It is important that the main support structure of a gazebo be strong, straight and true. This is why we use sturdy 4 x 4 posts in all of our gazebos, not 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 posts like some of our competitors. The treated pine used for these posts is first kiln dried, and then is surrounded with a heavy-duty vinyl sleeve. This long-lasting combination makes these posts highly resistant to warping and twisting. Also available as part of our customizable options in a lathe-turned design that adds a more traditional flair to the look of your gazebo. |

 |
Standard 1 x 1 Solid Vinyl Railings As part of our base pricing, our vinyl gazebos come with solid 1 x 1 railings or balusters, and 2 x 4 vinyl-coated treated pine hand rails. Our top railing sections provide an added decorative touch to our gazebos and are made to match the lower railings. As with almost all of the features of our gazebos, you can switch the base railings for more decorative ones. |

 |
#1 Grade Treated Pine Flooring The floor boards, joists, and band boards included in our base pricing on our vinyl gazebo are all made of #1 grade southern yellow pine. As with all of our treated wood products, the wood is "KDAT" (kiln dried after treatment) to assure that it stays flat, does not bow or twist, and limits checking. We recommend that you seal the floor every two years (depending on location), or leave it unsealed allowing it to age for a more rustic look. |
