Richard Koehler –
Amazing and unique elbow designs made creating octagon corner joints very easy. All brackets are heavy duty and 1/8″ thick steel.
Truly DIY friendly. I highly recommend.
Sherry Rice –
We were able to build this gazebo easily in 1-1/2 days with 2 people working. The deck and roof deck/shingles took most of the time. RioOutdoors made this structure super simple to build and amazingly beautiful.
