In this section on gazebo designs, I begin by taking a look at what it takes to get the gazebo standing true. Good gazebo designs include getting the structure plumb and square so the rafters fit together smoothly when the roof goes on.

Along the way, I also discuss details in gazebo designs that make trimming out the roof and closing in the walls trouble free. Near the end of this section on gazebo designs, I show you how to size your corner posts to produce gazebo designs that will still be standing even after the worst snow or windstorm.
