This rafter construction and roof framing section covers rectangular gazebos ranging in size from 8 to 12 feet. (Although, the rafter construction and roof framing ideas discussed will also help those building rectangular gazebos under 8 feet or over 12 feet.)

As you will see in this section, rafter construction and roof framing for gazebos with sides in increments of four (4', 8', 12'...) produces a symmetrical rafter layout that looks great when viewed from underneath and makes roof framing much simpler.
