REPLACE EXISTING LAKEFRONT GAZEBOS

Due to the decrepit state of our current lakefront gazebos we have had to remove one as it was hazardous and the other one isn't far behind.

We are looking for someone to spearhead the project to replace them with new screened Pagoda styled units. We have the plans, instructions and drawings to build two 12 foot in diameter Pagoda styled Gazebos painted white (for ease of maintenance and construction).

The plans are available as a Acrobat file or printed on 8.5 x 11 paper. Cost for each one is about $2,500.00 in materials. For plans or more information call Pete at (708) 889-0986  ACCOMPLISHED X 2
