The
following is our Online Gazebo Catalog (1st Edition).
As
you read it, you will see that our gazebos fall into three categories:
 |
Octagon Gazebos (8 equal sides) |
 |
Oval Gazebos (also 8 sided) |
 |
Rectangular (4 sided) Gazebos |
Please
follow the link at the bottom of the page for many more
excellent
gazebo photos with options from our 2nd Edition catalog.
For beauty and long life, no one beats gazebos hand-crafted by the Amish. And all our gazebos are hand-crafted from #1 grade pressure treated, southern yellow pine and roofs are covered with genuine red cedar shakes. Exposed edges are shaped for safety and decorative appeal. All screws used in construction are stainless steel (far superior to galvanized) and optional screening is made from charcoal color aluminum screen mesh. Each octagonal model includes a cupola as standard. Each oval model offers the cupola as optional. For available, please see our gazebo pricing & ordering page. |

"The Aruba" is a 13' x 13' square gazebo with a recessed hot tub or spa. It's four sided square design makes it one of the easiest gazebos to build, yet it is both elegant in appearance and very functional. It is designed so that the spa rests on a concrete pad and the floor is built around the spa in easy to build sections. A section of floor facing the stairs is removable in order to gain access to the spa's motor. "The Aruba" is designed so that the floor comes about half way up the wall of the spa for a reason: It makes stepping into the spa so much easier if your foot that remains on the deck is at about the same elevation as your foot landing inside the spa... and most spa's have a ledge or seat about half way up the interior wall. The spa is shown in the middle in the above drawing and is drawn as a 6' x 6' square. Because the benches are 1.5' wide, this allows for a 1.5' walkway around the spa. If your spa will be larger than 6' x 6', it can be located in the corner to gain more useable floor space as shown below. "The Aruba" Building Plans show both the centered spa and corner spa. The Building Plans allow for the following conditions: |

| Glass is typically very expensive. But we have found a method of providing for a future glass enclosure that is both easy to plan for and the absolute least expensive way to enclose with glass that we have ever seen. (Click to see George Stevens' Glass Sunroom to see an example of how to enclose with glass and still save a ton of money.) |

Disclaimer
Each set of detailed Building Plans comes on a large sheet of 11" x 17" drafting grid paper (black print on blue 1/4" grids for easy reading). Download and view sample deck and screen porch plan. It is in PDF file format. You will need Acrobat Reader (free) but you will be very impressed with the detail and comprehensive nature of these plans. Important
Note: The floors on all plans (deck, porch, gazebo) are designed for
50psf (per square foot) total loading. All roofs (porch and gazebo)
are designed for total loading of 40psf (pounds per square foot).
If you live in a geographic area which requires increased loading design
(snow loading for example), please have your local Plan Review increase
the loading design if needed. Also, none of our plans are designed
to sustain hurricane winds. For such you will want your local Plan
Review to add the necessary modifications to our plans. They should
help you with any changes because they work for you... you pay their
salaries.
