Lower structure 1/2 day. Roof and shingles 1 day. Deck area 1 day. Followed all instructions and built this hexagon floating gazebo easily. The instructions were the main backbone to our project. It organized us and guided us properly. Parts are high quality and fit easily. Everything went so smoothly. We are incredibly happy with our finished gazebo. We will recommend this to everyone we know.

The open U channels in the elbow bracket made it so easy to add the posts to the floating 4x4s and to add the 4×4 headers. Roof structure went up very fast. All finished in 2 days. Now to add screen to walls and other decorations. Very happy.
Jeff Turley –
We leveled the ground and built this floating gazebo. It was quick and easy. Very nice instructions for the roof made it super simple. Love the spider and cross tie brackets. They made it very easy to put it up. The structure is like a rock now. Solid. We drove rebars throug floor 4x4s into the ground so it won’t fly off. Overall very happy.

Riooutdoors really made this floating hexagon gazebo a leggo kit style DIY. Only difference is that we get to buy and cut wood and plywood ourselves. That definitely saves us lots more money than buying a complete kit. The wood cutting and plywood cutting is so simplified that anyone can do it. Building is even easier once the wood pieces are cut. We built ours easily within 2 days. Absolutely amazing structure that looks like a milliion bucks in our backyard. All the neighbors want one too. We are very happy with ours.

Now I am ready to build a whole house. Learned a lot through this project. The riooudoors instructions really opened my eyes on how best to mark and cut compound miters. All I had to do was tilt it to the proper angle then rotate the blade until it lines up with the marked line. Every single cross tie piece came out perfect for me. Very impressed. Our gazebo looks great. We are already enjoying it.
