- The Partial Octagon Solid Roof Brackets Kit is a unique and novel creation by RioOutdoors.com.
- When constructed as instructed in the installation instructions, this solid roof structure will withstand any snow load and will be an all-weather structure.
- These novel roof joinery brackets simplify roof construction work and yield a super-strong roof structure which can withstand snow loads exceeding 165 lbs./sq. ft.
- This solid roof will have a 4-12 pitched slope. The rafters will be angled at 20 degrees.
- This strong roofed structure will be a permanent structure for any geographic location.
- The novel Partial Octagon-specific steel brackets eliminate all wood joinery skills and work making it ideal for all DIY projects and for contractors.
- All steel parts are made of 1/8″ thick steel and powder painted for permanent rust proofing and durability.
What Partial Octagon Size will this roof kit fit on?
- The size shown in the Kit Description (e.g., 10ft. to 13ft. Wide Octagon, Solid Roof) defines the width of the base octagon wall structure.
- The roof kit that you select (e.g., 10ft. to 13ft. Wide Octagon, Solid Roof) is designed to create a solid roof that can cover an octagon shape that is between 10ft. and 13ft. wide.
- The roof outer edges shall overhang the octagon walls by 12″. The “10ft. to 13ft. Wide Partial Octagon, Solid Roof” dimension does not include the overhang dimension.
- 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.
Each solid roof kit includes the roof structure joinery parts and hardware required to attach those parts.
NOTE: Solid Roof Kit prices vary by size. As size increases, additional brackets are required. The size-based price automatically adjusts the price for each kit based on the selected size.
