Postby **jsr** » September 9th, 2011, 3:01 pm

i am looking to replace the canvas roof of my gazebo with a karat roof as the canvas material is not lasting long at all
i need to know approximately how much it would cost and who can make one

it is a 12 x 12 hexagonal gazebo

A karat roof not long lasting either. Go with a metal roof, your vertical supports may need reinforcing though....

u have to be careful when supporting your new roof. the posts and bars were made for supporting a canvas roof which is very light.

i know a guy who can link u up nice. will send a pic of my gazebo wen i get home. its done with galvanize in the form of a circle.

or use grano/deco stones with pavers if you can't maintain a lawn, also your bougainvillaea are getting root bound and need care.

the roofing material should be influenced by what theme your yardscape and house decor has, btw marine canvas will stand up a lot better to the sun
