Gazebo

Question

I've been wanting to do a gazebo or a cedar shake roof for a long time and finally got the opportunity with this gazebo. Although the final product was gratifying, I'm glad I didn't win those cedar roof bids in the past. This was much more time consuming, took much more stain, and was really more of a pain than what I had expected. Not to mention the rood had to be done from up top and I about slid off 3 times!

Very nice Tony! What stain did you use?

Thanks, it was the AC Cedar Semi.

It was nice to do one but the point of the post as much as anything was to say that they need to be priced accordingly and that it would not have been worth it if it was at a cut rate. I put them up with the pergolas I guess.

And I would still like to do a nice Cedar house or roof but I better see money falling out of their pockets when I drive up :)

I slid off a gazebo roof about 15 years and landed on the ladder in the area that hurts the most. I refuse to do them anymore.

Looks great!
