What Victorian 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 Victorian by 2’ to give extra room for 2 more adults. (i.e. 10’ gazebo holds 4 adults).

Assembling

Though the Victorian garden gazebo building requires some carpentry skills, it’s a great DIY construction project.

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 Victorian Garden Gazebo Dimensions Chart above.

Cupola

The construction of the cupola is a scaled down version of the construction of the Victorian gazebo kit. 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.
