Octagon Size
- The size shown in the Kit Description (e.g., 10 to 13ft. Wide Solid Roof) defines the width between two parallel octagon walls.
- The size of a Partial Octagon structure is defined by the outer width dimension between two parallel walls of the Partial Octagon structure.
- To determine what size octagon will fit in the space available in your yard, include and add the extra space required for the roof overhangs past the octagon walls. We recommend a 12″ roof overhang past the octagon walls.
- The size of the octagon you can build employing this bracket kit (measuring across two parallel WALLS) ranges from 10 feet to 20 feet, depending on the length of the headers.
- The living space you can create ranges between 62 sq. ft to 249 sq. ft.
- Detailed specifications for header length to octagon size and living area are provided in the Instructions Manual.

The open end truss was so easy to create! Rest of the roof structure was also very simple after following the detailed instruction supplied by RioOutdoors. I highly recommend.

Hardest work was preparing the site. Rocky ground made it very difficult to dig and level. However, once that was done and a new concrete pad was poured, the main structure went up in 1 day. Very fast. Structure stiffened up after bolting all floor anchors to the concrete pad. Next day, roof plywood and shingles were finished. We are very pleased and now have an amazing backyard entertainment space with solid roof. Can’t wait till it rains to see how cool it will be to sit in this space during rain.

Easy to build. Lots of cross tie pieces to cut. But they gave excellent intructions how to cut and made it easy. We were amazed at the plywood cutting details. Every piece fit well. Very happy with our new backyard living space with roof.

This is definitely the easiest DIY kit. Just needed a miter saw, circular saw, tape measure, snap line, drill gun. Awesome instructions for roof structure. It looks great and is very strong.
