Well engineered parts. Heavy duty and all coated with black powder paint. Hardware was high quality in black color also. Very good instructions. All work was straight forward and easy to do. Main structure and roof OSB took 1 day, shingles took 1/2 of the next day. Very steady and strong structure. Impressed with everything and the responsiveness of RioOutdoors.

We just finished our wall attached partial octagon solid roof yesterday (5/21/23). We have finished adding the solid roof shingles. Remaining work is to add the wall decorating railing and balusters, ceiling decorations, solid bug screens to all walls except the one facing our backyard where we will add a curtain-style bug screen when it is available through RioOutdoors.
It took me and my brother a total of 16 work hours to get to this point. We are thrilled with the installation details, lumber cut list, and plywood nesting diagrams. We are especially amazed how accurate the lumber cut lists and plywood nesting diagrams are. Every single piece of lumber fit exactly without modifications from the cut list. All plywood pieces fit perfectly except the last two pieces due to adjustments needed due to two rafters that had somehow warped after installation.
Every single bracket fit perfectly, as intended by design. The solid roof structure is solid and secure. Zero sway and no movement at all.
The bracket kit cost was $2290 (free shipping). Lumber, plywood, shingles, drip edges, ridge shingles. starter shingles, roofing nails cost total came to $711.00 with sales tax. Our out of pocket so far is $3001. We expect to spend another $400 for wall decorations and an additional $200 for inner ceiling decoration and ceiling fan. All said and done, we are budgeting a total of $3,600.00
We have gained an amazing outdoor living area over our unused backdoor concrete pad. We will be using this space daily.
You cannot go wrong. They make it so simple to build this structure. Our finished product will look exactly like the feature image for this product in this website.
We highly recommend this kit by RioOutdoors.

Dowloaded the 12-1/2 ft solid roof installation pdf and reviewed. We were very impressed with all the details. Ordered the kit, it arrived on time.
We ordered all lumber and started laying out the pieces per the instructions. My miter saw was hard to set using the angles because the angle indicator pin was damaged. The measurements and line marking idea in these instructions make it so simple to cut to exact angles. Mark the lines per instructions, rotate miter saw until blade lines up with line and then cut. We locked miter saw rotation after the first piece. Then cut every other piece at the same angle setting. Every piece came out exactly the same and accurate.
I have never seen instructions like this so detailed, accurate, and with good english. I am totally impressed with the effort this company put into their instructions.
First day, we had all rough framing for the roof completed. Next day, we cut the OSB for the roof per the instructions. Our lumber pieces were very straight so every piece of plywood lined up perfectly. By the end of the second day, we were finished with the shingles. Two people, two full days, thats all.
This has been a very satifying DIY project where everything went smoothly with no hiccups or corrections needed. I did not have to run to home depot 10 times like I normally do for other projects.
Our partial octagon wall attached structure is solid and super strong. Absolutely no movements at all. Very impressive. I love the bracket styles and black color. They appear very high end. Now we will decorate the walls, add screens and railings then work to finish the inner ceiling.

This is the best idea for an add on to the backdoor area of a house. We had a concrete pad which we never used. We built ours on top of the existing concrete pad. This new additional has opened the backyard to us again. Now we hang out in this space very morning and evening.

My order shipped faster than originally promised. My order arrived in a delivery truck on a pallet, shrink wrapped. Instructions to driver was to cut shrink wrap and deliver individual boxes. Driver was very happy to abide and brought all the boxes inside our garage. That was 2 weeks ago. We had Lowes deliver all lumber and plywood per the material list. We used every piece of wood and had minimal waste. Same with OSB.
We were so pleased to find out that every single piece of lumber that we measured and cut matched exactly to the Riooudoors cut list. I am amazed at how accurate everything was. Then we proceeded to the roof OSB boards, cautiously. We measure, compared to the board cutting diagram and again, they were exactly correct. Within 1 day, between me and a buddy, we had the whole thing wrapped up waiting for shingles.
Next morning, we added shingles. The video recommended on Riooudoors were great. We followed those directions and everything worked out prefectly. Now we are working on adding the wall bug screens and decorative rails. Riooutdoors does not provide cut list for the decorative rails. It would be nice to have that. Just figuring out the angles of the rail top and bottom ends will take us a long time. If they told us the cut angles, it would make our life much easier.
We are both amazed at how precise everything fit perfectly. Our structure is far better than contractor built structures. Absolutely strong and steady. I have no doubt that this structure can withstand more wind and snowload than my house can.
You cannot go wrong and you can trust every bit of measurement that they provide. I am so happy to have ordered all the parts. Without even one part, I would have struggled to make the lumber joints. Don’t skimp on ordering all parts together. Like they say, every part has a purpose and function and is designed to yield a super high end structure. That is so true.
You cannot go wrong here. No need to shop around and piece meal parts from many websites. This place has it correct and everything is included that is needed. When I compared prices, I could only compare the floor anchor brackets but Riooutdoors has better prices for them anyway. Other parts for the roof are not sold by anyone else. There is no other comparison for them.
Everyone, go ahead and buy the whole kit together. You will probably take it with caution like we did when starting out cutting lumber and OSB. But I am telling you that their information is accurate and trustworthy. But even they say to measure and verify, in case some wood is warped or cut wrong.
I will surely buy again from this site. Why shop around when the price is right and they are so helpful with everything?
We are super happy and super excited. My kids have all sorts of plans for big screen TV and eating hotdogs and pizza outdoors now. Can’t wait for that!
