I've noticed the last couple years that Costco has a gazebo in the springtime for $1,499. It's cedar with a metal roof, and sells Elsewhere for $1,700 to $2,000. I've always thought it would be a nice shooting platform for my range. It's 12 ft by 14 ft. Now they have it on sale for $1,299. I think I'm going to pull the trigger on it.
Here it is online for $1,499 with "free" delivery, but it's $1,299 in store.
https://www.costco.com/12%27-x-14%27-Cedar-Gazebo-With-Aluminum-Roof.product.100351084.html I need to decide what to do about the base. Concrete would be nice, but expensive. And I'm just off a bad experience with a concrete contractor. I think I'm leaning towards building a low deck/wood patio for it. Probably somewhere between the leg dimensions and the roof dimensions, so rain won't drip down directly on the wood.
I've been doing a bunch of research on it, and kind of the buzz is that it's okay for $2,000, but that I'd be hard-pressed to build it from scratch for this price. Also no cutting or staining.
Anyone ever build a kit like this?
