The standard laminated post for our Gazebo measures 3 ½” x 3 ½” square. Gazebos measuring 18’ and wider have 5x5 laminated posts. Our Vinyl Gazebos have 3 ½” x 3 ½” posts covered by a 4x4 vinyl sleeve. In order for us to provide a top-of-the-line quality structure, we use a laminated post. Although the finished product looks like a solid piece of lumber, the posts are actually produced by gluing boards together. The posts are then planed and sanded until the seams are virtually invisible. This process results in a superior quality product, and virtually eliminates the chance for posts to warp or twist. In fact, it is actually stronger than a solid piece of lumber! The standard height of the posts from the floor is 78"

Note: If you want taller posts or heavier 6x6 posts, talk to your Project Advisor. Some larger gazebos or structures that need additional snow or wind resistance will require larger posts.
