Details of gazebo designs covered in this section will not only make installing rafters easier and your gazebo sturdy, but also address installing trim and siding. Good gazebo designs think ahead about how much to set back the wall header/beam and floor rim joists from the corner posts.

Doing so will result in gazebo designs that keep you out of trouble and make hanging siding and installing overhang trim boards a breeze. It may not seem like a big deal, but if gazebo designs are not thought through down to the last finish board, you may end up wasting a lot of time trying to invent ways to nail up siding and/or trim boards against an irregular surface.

This section on gazebo designs discusses these important considerations and includes many detailed drawings.
