Actual Pictures and Comments from happy customers: In 1959 I purchased an original home built “Thing” and ran it for several years on the Willamette River. Years later it got rotten and subsequently discarded. Now the Son of the man who originally built it from the magazine plans in his wood shop in Milwaukie, Oregon works with me and he helped his Dad build it in 1958. We decided to search for the plans and if we found them; I (an engineer) would upgrade it for two adults and build it. I bought your disk and building started last May 25 and it was ready to launch July 20th. You are welcome to use the photos and my “title” as a former white water guild; River Rat Bob from Oregon. Hope you enjoy the pictures attached. I am 60 years old but still chasing the dream as you see from my smile in the boat.
This customer bought our boat plans disk, sold separately from this auction. Boat Plans are not on this disk! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following are actual pics sent in from a customer who built the 12 ft Octagon Gazebo from our Gazebo plans disk. This customer chose to build the Gazebo on a stone platform instead of a deck, although all decking plans are provided as part of the plan. The customization potential is limitless. This customer chose the railings and frieze from one plan and combined it with another plan and deleted the deck. You can build limitless combinations. All the plans are standardized to make you feel comfortable adding your own twist to the plans.

This customer bought our boat plans disk, sold separately from this auction. Boat Plans are not on this disk! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here are some comments and pics a customer sent us of a boat he built. The boat plan I used to build my boat was the 14' Playboy Runabout. I have pics from start to finish of the project and i'm very proud of it. I customized the plans a little to suit my needs better. I built her to drive with remote controls not from the motor, and I closed in the sides and put a storage compartment on both sides. I put a bench seat accross the back with storage underneath instead of a seat down both sides and I closed in the rear of the boat for extra storage (gas tank, battery box, tools, etc). I also fiberglassed the outside and painted it. I think the plans were great and easy to follow for the first time builder.
This customer also bought our boat plans disk, sold separately from this auction. Boat Plans are not on this disk! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for the great plans. Unbelievable amount of information for the money. I can't wait to get started. -Jeff D., New Mexico. I built the doghouse using the plans I purchased from you a week ago, and it was great. Easy to read and follow, it was a great purchase. The kids helped, and the dog just loves it. Thank you so much. It'll take years to go through all the stuff I want to build on your CD. Andrew H., Colorado. The jungle gym for the kids is amazing. We bought the plans 2 weeks ago, and built the whole thing last weekend. We are so impressed with the amount of information shown. It is a virtual encyclopedia of plans. Thanks. Josh L., New Mexico. My God!! That's more boats than I can build in a lifetime! Unbelievable! The best I have ever seen. Thank you! Craig J., South Carolina. I've seen plenty of plans on boats. This is the best all around package of information I've come across. Jake M., Florida. This has saved me so much time. I've spent weeks looking for stuff like this. Well worth the few bucks to get this CD. Jimmy K., Arkansas. I bought a CD a few weeks ago that had a bunch of links and junk on it that was ripped off from websites and other useless information. I thought long and hard before trying again and buying from you. I can actually use this stuff. I'm so glad I did. A.K., Arizona. |

Frequently Asked Questions: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Why should I buy from you? There are lots of places to buy similar stuff on ebay. What makes you so special? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
What separates us from the rest is that we want you to be happy. If you're happy, you'll buy from us again and tell your friends. Getting one sale from you is great, but we want the next sale from you and the next one after that. It isn't worth a few bucks to us to have one unhappy customer. If you are unhappy, tell us and let us try to fix the problem. How many sellers will say that? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Yeah, so, there are lots of other sellers on ebay. Are you saying the rest of them will rip me off? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
No, of course not. But, beware of what people sell on ebay. Many sellers on here will charge you an exhorbitant amount for shipping. Many will "claim" to provide discount shipping only when you contact them, they'll tell you they'll take a quarter off the shipping price for each additional item. We never do that. Our combined shipping policy is clearly spelled out for those to see. No tricky or cheap discounts. Simple as that. Also, when comparing our films to those of others, take note of not only the price of the item, but also the content. You'll see that we not only offer more content per package then our competition, and not only at the cheapest shipping, but also at the cheapest price too. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
What kind of permits, codes, restrictions, paperwork, etc., do I need to deal with before I build your shed/garage/gazebo, etc? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
We can't answer that. Every county in every state has different requirements. We encourage you to check with your local building department before beginning your project. Different regions also have different building codes and requirements. It is your responsibility that whatever structure you build complies with those codes. Remember, it doesn't matter where you bought the plan, or what plan you are using, or if you are even using a plan, you are ultimately responsible for the safety of the structure you build, so you will need to ensure whatever you are building complies with your local safety codes and construction standards. There is nothing more important that the safety of your loved ones. With that in mind, if you are inexperienced in construction, and are tackling a large project such as a shed, garage, gazebo, etc., you should verify all that you are doing with someone who is more experienced. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
My county inspector is requiring that I do something different with the roof, I need to do "xyz", can you modify the plan for "xyz" and send it to me? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
No. All post-sales modifications are your responsibility and you are responsible for incurring all costs after the sale. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Do you offer any post-sales support? What if I have questions on how to build a certain aspect of a gazebo? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Please, lets be fair and realistic here. We are selling a CD of plans for a nominal price. We can't be there for every customer after the sale holding their hand through email support through the construction process. By buying this CD, you must acknowledge that you are comfortable in building the designs shown, and are fully capable of making design and construction decisions safely and responsible. We do not offer any post sales support. Please be aware and respectful of this fact up front. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Who's plans are these? Is anyone else selling them? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
They are our plans. We wrote them. We own 'em. No one else can possibly be selling them legally as we do not offer ANY resale rights whatsoever. If you see anyone else selling our plans, please report it to us and we will file a complaint with ebay (if it is on ebay), or through their ISP (if it is off-ebay). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Are these Gazebo's easy enough for a beginner to build? I have no experience, can I do this? What do I need to know? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Well, mostly, you can build this with basic woodworking knowledge. Depends on how comfortable you are with power tools and building your own structure. The plans are written to be as easily understood as possible so that anyone can understand them. However, you should have some basic wood working skills and framing skills and basic knowledge of how to join wood and build framing. Odds are, if you have ever built a deck, you can probably build a Gazebo. If you are unsure of what you are doing, it is your responsibility to seek the advice of a professional. Lets also be realistic. While we've tried to make understanding the construction process easy, building a Gazebo is a big job. Be aware that you need to know how to make accurate cuts, take accurate measurements and revise your dimensions accordingly, and know how to safely assemble a small structure in the proper order to be safe. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
How long does it take to build one of these? How many people do I need to build one? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A lot of that depends on your preparedness level and how organized you are. If you have all the material purchased ahead of time, and have all the tools ready, and don't need to run back and forth to the store, one of our Gazebos can probably be built in 3 or 4 days with 2 people. 1 person can build most of it, but two people are generally required for the roof installation. It would obviously go faster with more than 2 people. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I want to build one of your Gazebo's. It is your "xyz" design. Can you tell me how much it would cost me to build this before I buy your disk? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lumber prices vary from region to region, even from town to town. Building materials are very volatile in terms of price. We don't keep track of prices daily, and prices can vary from day to day or week to week, or month to month. In order for us to give you an accurate cost, we would have to print out the material list and start calling stores and looking up prices, and we are no more responsible for doing that, than we are helping you build your project! Costing it out is part of the project, and that is something you are responsible for. We won't even give you an estimate, because we know if we underestimate, that some people will try to hold us accountable for it. We do feel very comfortable in saying that building one yourself will cost you a fraction of what it would cost you to buy one pre-built. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I like your Gazebo plans, but I'm looking for a slightly different size/shape/look, etc? Do you have one with x sides, that is y long? Can you get one? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
You can always ask, but the likely answer is no. We are always evaluating market demand, and if there is a demand for a new product, we will research it and make a determination on whether or not it is worthy of being pursued. But odds are, if we don't have it for sale, then we don't have it right now. And, we do not do custom plans on a request basis. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I want to see a sample plan before I commit to buying. Please send me a free sample plan. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
We are sorry that our description, as well as our strong ebay reputation, does not provide you with a strong enough comfort level to purchase from us. With that said, we do not provide "free samples". |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
What if my disk arrives damaged? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
We offer a no muss, no fuss guarantee that all damaged disks are replaced free of charge. |
