Great plans! I will be back for the fire-pit plans once I finish the gazebo.

DIY Backyard Planning was really responsive to my custom plan request. I didn’t find the size gazebo I needed and they were able to turn around plans for me within 24 hours. The plans are super detailed and walk you thorugh each step. I emailed the material list to my local lumber yard and they pulled all the lumber for me and had it ready for pick up. I highly recommend this website and these plans!

The plans proved to be a great resource for me. If you want a gazebo that has some character and that fell like an extension of your home; these plans are for you. The plans break down each step and take you through the project with illustrations which was reassuring that we were following along correctly. We get so many compliments on our gazebo.
Troy Taylor –
I am a big fan of these plans. I was able to build my own 12′ x 16′ Gazebo by following these plans. I sure impressed my wife it and it was very rewarding. We had a BBQ last weekend to celebrate the new addition to our backyard. Thank you.
James B. –
For a couple weeks prior to finding these plans I was trying to come up with a unique but timeless design. It wasn’t until I came across this design that I felt comfortable in starting my project. I wanted to make it perfect given that I will be looking at this large structure in my backyard for many years everyday. So thank you for producing such a great design and thorough building plans.
Anthony Clarke –
I built a 12’x12′ gazebo with the gable roof and added the upgrade decor features. I couldn’t be more proud of the outcome. I am the talk of the neighborhood. Everyone keeps asking me if I designed the structure because it looks so custom.
John Kassarias –
I contacted the company with a few questions about the plans and they answered my questions with great detail immediately. Even during the build out I had a phone call with George, who is extremely knowledgeable and helped me get over the hump I ran into with my particular situation. Great customer service!
Cheryl Maketa –
Our Gazebo has been built for a month now and every morning I look out the window when I am making my coffee and am so pleased with the design and outcome. It is such a huge and permanent structure, I worried about not loving it but I certainly do and absolutely recommend these plans and encourage to get the decorative features upgrade plans. The under roof lighting makes it feel so magical at night. Thank you DIYBackyardplanning.com

For someone that doesn’t want to buy a gazebo kit but doesn’t want to start from scratch these are the plans for you. The material list and cutting list answers all your material questions. The steps go together just like described.
Felix Marcos –
Christina was very responsive to my questions and even after I downloaded the wrong size she sent me the correct size for free. I ordered all my lumber based off the material list and with the cutting instructions I didn’t have to worry about ordering extra because of mistake cuts. I am so proud of the gazebo I built using these plans.
Keith S. –
I have been looking for plans like this for quite some time and this company was able to provide plans for my unique size that I needed. I’ve built many large wood projects from plans and these plans are top notch!
John Bozy –
My brother and I built this over a 4 day weekend. Went together as planned and so nice not to have to worry about getting the cuts wrong, also very easy to buy material with having a list of everything you need down to the nails.

Keith Moreno –
I feel compelled to give a review because I was originally going to pay $1,800 for a plan set from the lumber yard and it wasn’t nearly as detailed. I can’t believe these detailed plans that come with a cutting list, material list and super easy to follow instructions were on;y $20!!
Ronnie Martin –
I built off these plans for my house and my brothers house. The plans are so easy to follow and the design is unique with the sunburst. The height is perfect, you can still see the skyline and it feels airy.
Seth Stewart –
It’s been 3 years and my favorite spot is underneath our Gazebo. The tongue and grove underneath is a very attractive. Thanks DIYBACKYARDPLANNING.coom
Mark Robins –
These plans are legit!
Mark Maddison –
Best plans I’ve come across. Everything you need – super detailed!
Rodney Schnitzer –
The material list is money! I didn’t have to do any research. Plus the plans are super cheap compared to other options I was looking into. The gazebo turned out beautiful and we painted it Sierra Redwood color that made it even more amazing.
Karen R. –
We built our gazebo using these plans over 5 years ago. With the plans, everything came together so nicely. Our contractor said the plans were spot on.
Mark Lopez –
Lots of details and way better than any free plans online. A+++++

Terry Hogan –
Last summer we used these plans to build our gazebo. This website was the best resource we stumbled upon. We were trying to use the free plans online but the full details weren’t provided and it was scary getting started. When we found these plans it gave us peace of mind. The material list, cutting list is worth $1,000+ just not to order a wrong board or make a wrong cut. I came on the website today to try the outdoor TV cabinet plans now. Thank you DIYBackyardplanning.com!
Mike Ruffey –
I used the gazebo and outdoor tv plans from this website and highly recommend. You can tell the design and weatherproofing elements were well thought out. I would give 10 stars if I could.
Monica Rose –
I give 5 stars!
Daniel Robinson –
I am a contractor and use this website to have my clients pick out the design/plans. Christina has been helpful to customize plans for areas that have uniquely large spaces. I’ve built at least 10 TV cabinets using their plans and maybe 20 gazebos in the last 3-4 years.
Todd Remmy –
Great customer service! I bought the wrong size plans and I emailed Christina from the contact page and within minutes she sent me the right plans. I even had a couple questions during the build process and she was very prompt. Highly highly recommend! So affordable and spot on plans!
Dan Williamson –
We built the 12×12 last summer. We’re out there any chance we can get and get so many compliments from visitors.

We built the 12×12 last summer. We’re out there any chance we can get and get so many compliments from visitors. Me and my wife were able to build together. Easy!
Chris Roman –
This website is great! I downloaded the wrong size and I emailed them on Friday night and Christina responded within minutes with our correct size for free. Plans are everything you need – material list made buying the lumber easy, Plans are full of pictures and are easy to walk you through the project. It took me 3 weekend.
Chris Barrell –
This saved me! I was going to pay someone to build our gazebo but when I came across this website I was inspired to do it myself. Turned out fantastic!
