What Monterey gazebo size should I get?

Depending on the usage, a good rule of thumb to follow is to accommodate a few chairs and a patio table inside the structure. Our smallest gazebo (8’) will comfortably accommodate 2 adults. If you need more space, increase the size of your gazebo by 2’ to give extra room for 2 more adults. (i.e. 10’ gazebo holds 4 adults).

Assembling

Level of Difficulty:

Though the Monterey cedar gazebo building requires some carpentry skills, it’s a great DIY construction project. Our gazebo kits include easy-to-follow instructions, diagrams, and assembly videos that will help you through the process.

Wall Assembly

Gazebo wall assembly example

All our garden gazebo design styles feature built-up columns comprised of upright posts sandwiched by wall sides on either side. The Monterey gazebo wall sides come with spandrels and railings, and are designed to have screen kits added and wall benches mounted.

If you have any other questions pertaining to the size of the building, please do not hesitate to ask us, we're here to help.

Roof Assembly

The Monterey prefab gazebo roof increases in complexity as the size increases, below is the roof framing for the 20’ San Cristobal without the cupola. For smaller sizes, the size and number of components incorporated in the roof structure are reduced.

Floor Framing

Summerwood’s gazebo floors are built in 8 sections that are fastened together to form the octagonal footprint. The dimension “A” on the figure below references back to the Monterey Prefab Gazebo Dimensions Chart above.

Cupola

The construction of the cupola is a scaled down version of the construction of the Monterey gazebo. The wall panels feature pickets and glazing like the top spandrel of the main structures walls, and the roof assembly consists of hip rafters supporting roof boards and cedar shingles. The cupola is finished at the point with a top cone, and optional decorative ball.
