Tom and Sharon –
This project was one of our most satisfying DIY projects. The cost of the bracket kit offset the contractor cost by 65%. Meaning that by using this bracket kit, our total cost was reduced by 65% compared to the quote a contractor gave us to build a similar structure.
The best thing we did was that we followed the advice of RioOutdoors.com. They sent us a custom cutlist of all wood pieces and custom installation instructions. We used their cutlist and cut every piece of wood and had them ready. When the bracket kit arrived, we started the work and within 5 hours, between 2 people, we had the whole structure, inlcuding the roof framing structure completed. After that, it took us about 2 hours to cut and prepare the roof OSB deck pieces and another 4 hours to add the roof deck and shingles.
We waited to cut the roof OSB pieces because this was our first experience. However, now that we have completed one, we would simply use RioOutdoor’s cut list and prepare the roof deck OSB pieces ahead of time.
Every piece of wood and OSB deck piece fit perfectly. All brackets fit and worked great as advertised. We are so happy now. We invited our neighbors and friends over and they are amazed that we built this whole gazebo in less than 2 days, all by ourselves. They are also motivated and are considering similar structures for their backyards.
We highly recommend this kit and anyother kits that RioOutdoors offers on their website.

Received parts on wednesday. Picked up all lumber, plywood, and roofing stuff on Friday. Started Saturday morning. We had it shingled and finished Sunday afternoon around 4pm. Very straight forward work. Easy to follow instructions. Follow the instructions in the same steps they are provided and it will organize your work for you. Very happy with our new gazebo.

All parts in the kit were 1/8″ thick. Some had double the thickess in areas. Very heavy duty. All parts fit perfectly and all lumber and plywood we cut per their cut lists fit perfectly. I did not have to figure out anything at all. The toughest thing was to make sure I cut the 4×4 headers angles in the correct direction. Very impressed with all parts and instructions which are very accurate and thorough.

Quick shipment. Received customized installation instructions, materials list, and cut list before shipment arrived. We followed the instructions and every lumber piece and roof plywood piece fit easily. The detailed lumber cutting instructions and plywood nesting instructions saved us hours of time. 2 days and we had the whole structure with shingles finished. Very good customer support and very professional company.
