Can't Sit Still: DIY Garden Gazebo - Netizens Say It Rivals Professional Work

DIY Garden Gazebo - I can't sit still, so today I set off on the road of building a gazebo

Because I felt the craft of making a gazebo was a bit complicated, I browsed various craft gazebo sales websites and observed for a long time.

I felt that the prices of domestic gazebos were really a bit frighteningly high, so today I present to all you gardening friends the entire production process of a garden gazebo from start to finish, hoping that you who would like to have a gazebo can also build one with your own hands.

Now I present the production process for gardening friends to reference, share, criticize and guide

1. Choose the location

2. First lay out the shape on the ground, so as to determine the actual size and dimensions of the gazebo

3. After obtaining the specific dimensions, the purchased lumber arrived on site

4 posts: 9CMx9CMX240CM (they used to be 6.5 yuan each, now even the Americans have learned from others to play the price-raising game, and they've become 8.8 yuan each)

4 crossbeams: 4.5CMX18CMX300CM (they haven't gone up in price yet, along with various small pieces)

Afraid of price increases, I bought a few extra. Sigh! These days, everyone's been scared sick by price hikes

4. Under construction; cutting materials

Using an electric saw to cut the mortise and tenon joints

5. Joining the crossbeams and posts

6. Installation: the look of the cross-joining between crossbeams

After the entire posts and crossbeams are installed, fix them diagonally with wooden boards to prevent them from going out of shape

7: The 4 border frames of the eaves: cut into 45-degree bevels

California's summer, with the blazing sun like fire. Pull up a simple canopy for shade, so as not to tan me, Long Ge, too dark - then no one will want to look

The corners of the eaves: the joining between the 45-degree bevels, after leveling, fix with wood screws

Looking from different angles

Building a scaffold is a must

A little snail crawled over to keep me company, signaling me to take it easy and not work too hard

The gazebo already has a tip of the iceberg

Looking from a distance to see how the effect is - it seems a bit like it

Adjusting the distance between the previously made flower stand and the gazebo

After determining the dimensions, cut off the excess part of the flower stand so as to connect it with the gazebo

After positioning the angle, fix the slanting beams and the central post with longer wood screws. I used 3.5-inch-long wood screws

The slanting beams connect with the eave frame, and likewise need to be fixed with screws

The gazebo continues with the roofing project

After completing the roofing, it was almost dark

It feels a bit more like it

Let me show off a bit: my originally snow-white, tender, quite cute, chubby little arm has been tanned into a lobster claw

Charging toward the top

Finally completed

Waking up from sleep, it's another day

The benches and chairs inside the gazebo are deliberately made a bit narrower. Because on the filter pool, there is already a sufficiently wide long bench. Inside the gazebo, after placing the tea table, if there is still ample space, I will make 4 more stools similar to tree stumps. All the technical problems have just been solved

Once you start tinkering with a courtyard, it's endless, you know it!
