Last year, the aluminium frame of the gazebo gave up and buckled again and anymore more bodge jobs are not seen to be worth it so we decided to upgrade to a timber gazebo.... sorted!

the decking is 4x3m and raised off the ground. the frame from the decking is solid and the legs are concreted in. the garden and shrubs etc surrounding the decking are well established and money is a little tight so knocking down is no good, i know its not ideal but its what ive got

Plan; found an awesome website (https://www.blocklayer.com/roof/) and it gave me all the materials, sent it off to the timber supplier i use and he gave a very nice quote of around £150. The decking has posts and rails around the outside and so i chop out the corner posts and install posts for gazebo hopefully using timber post mounts, normally used for fixing fence posts to concrete or masonry and then build up from there. The height to the top of the hip will be approx 2.2m so its not extreme

any issues i havent foreseen? (civil engineer by day but we can all make mistakes)
