Vinyl Gazebo Kits
Alan's Factory Outlet Amish built vinyl gazebo kits are delivered in all the lower 48 states in the USA. The gazebo kits are all precut with the hardware and instructions included for an easy assembly. They are made in octagon and oval wood gazebo kits and vinyl gazebo kits. The vinyl gazebo in this photo is shown with 2 options, removable screens and a double roof.
Vinyl gazebo kits are delivered on a wood crate with all of the sections individually wrapped together. The screws provided in the DIY vinyl gazebo kit are stainless steel. A vented cupola is also provided to put that finishing touch on the vinyl gazebo kit. One new construction spec that we've made standard on the vinyl gazebo kits are a tongue and groove cedar ceiling under the roof. Before making the cedar roof free on the vinyl gazebos we used 1/2" plywood which required staining for over several years it would weather if left unstained and this kind of defeats the whole reason to get a vinyl gazebo over the wood gazebo so you don't have to stain it. So far we have not increased the prices yet due to using a more expensive material in an attempt to provide you with even more value on the vinyl gazebo kits.
One other main difference on the vinyl gazebo kits is that the flooring is made with a composite Rhino decking which has a 20 year warranty. This gives you a vinyl gazebo that will provide many years of enjoyment without all of the work to keep it looking sharp.
Alan's Factory Outlet vinyl gazebo kit prices are all listed on the website along with the delivery cost for each state with free shipping to 10 states in the USA.

This video shows you the standard 4 2"x10" 14' wide header between the two half's of the 2 car garage and the 2 story garage. The optional 20' wide LVL header is also shown so you can see the difference of the standard 14' header and the upgraded 20' LVL header. LVL is the abbreviation for laminated veneer lumber which is engineered to give you a wider span of 20' wide vs the traditional 14' wide opening achieved with the 4 2x10's.
One of the most common questions we get at Alan's Factory Outlet about the wood, vinyl and board batten 2 car garage that is not so easily explained is what is a LVL Header so that is why we've created this video and blog to help show you what a LVL header looks like and the benefit it provides.
Two reasons you may not want to get the 20' LVL header and just stick with the standard 14' header
- The standard 14' opening is free and so you may not want to invest anymore money in the 2 car garage or 2 story garage
- The 14' opening will leave you will more wall space on the front and back ends of both half's and some people actually prefer this and utilize this space by putting up shelves or hanging items on this area.
Still others want more of an open look in the 2 car garage and if that is you than you may want to think about getting your garage with a LVL header.

14' standard header on 2 story 2 car garage and single level 2 car garage

20' LVL header optional on the 2 car garage and 2 story 2 car garage
Please feel free to share some of the advantages of going with either the standard 14' wide opening vs the optional 20' wide LVL header that you may have.
