Hexagon Size
- The size shown in the kit description (e.g., 9-1/2ft. to 12-1/2ft. Wide Solid Roof) defines the width between two parallel hexagon walls.
- The size of a hexagon structure is defined by the outer width dimension between two parallel walls of the hexagon structure.
- To determine what size hexagon will fit in the space available in your yard, include and add the extra space required for the roof overhangs past the hexagon walls. We recommend a 12″ roof overhang past the hexagon walls.

Matt and Amy –
It took us less than 6 hours to put up the main structure and all roof rafters and crosstie beams. Everything fit perfectly. Then it took another 6 hours to add the roof deck and shingles. We are very impressed with this real DIY KIT design. We highly recommend.

Very high quality brackets. Not like those China made parts. Heavy thick metal and nice hard black powder coating. The staff at RioOutdoors were very helpful and quick to accommodate our needs. The installation instructions were clear and precise. The cut-list was fantastic and made my life so easy to buy the materials and to plan the cutting work.
The best part of it all are the videos which are available for every single part showing how to install them. They made the asembly work so simple and fast.
I highly recommend the products that RioOudoors has. I plan to add a wall mounted structure to the back of my house soon. I will surely use parts made by RioOutdoors.

Absolutely blows away any competition! Perfect parts, heavy duty and high quality. Very professional support from staff. Quick answers and amazingly detailed cut lists and install instructions. Worth every single penny. I thought things were expensive but I quickly understood why to buy American and not foreign imports. We started our project on Saturday morning. We had all lumber and materials ready based on the materials requirements that RioOutdoors provided. We did not have to run to the store again. This saved us tons of time. Sunday afternoon, we had completed the whole project.

Truely unique parts designs. Every part worked exactly as described. We especially love the cross tie brackets and roof skirt brackets. By following the cutting instructions provided by RioOutdoors, every piece of cross tie beam and roof skirt fit perfectly. An amazing added benefit they provided were the nesting diagrams for the roof plywood. We did not have to figure out anything ourselves. They had it all figured out for us. This saved us tons of time and eliminated waste and errors. We will be repeat customers for RioOutdoors. We cannot say enough or recommend enough. You will also be thrilled with their support and quick responses.

We love our hexagon gazebo. It took 2 people 2 days to finish the structure with roof shingles. Very fast. We saw amazing progress throughout the days the work was being done. We followed the instructions, which are amazing and accurate, and some online videos which show how each part is to be used. Everything was straight forward and simplified. This is truly a DIY kit that any person can take on. We did. We highly recommend riooutdoors and their products.

Frank Smith –
I thought I hated shingling the roof. I had bad memories beause I did not know to do it in my youth. But with new shingles and youtube videos, it made it super easy and actually enjoyable to finish a perfect shingled roof. The DIY parts from this company were very well made and fit perfectly. Very thorough step by step instructions for every single piece of wood and plywood. Very professional and accurate. Loved everythign. We are very happy with our gazebo.

Very happy with our purchase of this 4×4 Hexagon Solid Roof Kit. There were 6 unique parts in the kit. The bottom structure used 2 parts: hex elbow and floor anchor. The roof used 4 parts: Spider, cross tie bracket, post top rafter tie bracket, and roof skirt bracket. We downloaded the instructions for lower structure and roof structure. Lower structure was very simple. Roof structure was more complex but the instructions included cut layouts for every single piece of wood and also full assembly instructions for placement location and how to for every other part. Most amazing was the nesting diagrams for the roof plywood pieces. We replicated the nested plywood by snapping lines.
Best of all, every piece of wood and plywood fit easily. No modificaiton was needed and nothing was wasted. With 2 days between 2 people, we had the roof shingled and finished.
We are very happy with how everything went together and the supporting documents available to us. We highly recommend product from this company.

RioOutdoors sent us a layout with how to create a hexagon shaped frame using OSB to layout the exact location of each post. It took a hour to build. We laid it out in the area where we wanted the gazebo to be built. Spray paint marked the corner points and we know exactly where each post was going to be. Then we dug at each post location, add round footing forms, leveled them all using a laser level and poured concrete. This was the hardest work. Remaining contruction work was busy but very easy. We really appreciate the extra effort the staff put in to make it easy for us to layout. We surely recommend.

All parts were good and worked easily. All instructions were good and accurate. Very easy to assemble design. Impressive.
Janet and Chris –
Started by building an open top 4×4 hexagon. We were impressed with how easy and fast we were able to build it. It took less than 2 hours for 2 of us. Then after a few weeks, we decided to add the solid roof. The roof related bracket were even more impressive and made it so easy to build the roof frames. Very happy with all parts, instructions, and fast responses by staff.
Mathew Young –
Built our lower structure very easily. Prepared all posts with floor anchor bracket and the 60 deg elbow bracket. Cut all headers and got them ready. With help from a friend and few sand bags, we had the lower structure assembled in less than 1 hour. We then made sure all headers were level before anchoring to the concrete pad. We anchored the floor brackets down and everything was very sturdy.
We then prepared the six rafers with cross tie brackets and roof skirts. We made the starter assembly with the hexagon spider. It took us 5 minutes to lift and place this starter assembly and center it. After securing to post top rafter ties, it took another 30 minutes to install remaining rafters. It was so easy to do. We then added cross tie beams which fit easily and perfectly. That took another 2 hours to add them and drive all lag screws.
Next day, we added roof deck plywood pieces and then drip edges, tar paper, shingles and ridge shingles.
Everything went smoothly and all work was straight forward. We are very impressed with the cut lists and roof deck nesting diagrams they provided. That made our work so easy.
We are now adding railings with ballusters between posts and decorative ballusters below the top headers.
We are super impressed and highly recommend this kit.
