When it is time to dress up the gazebo on your property, one sure way to accomplish this is to add a small deck inside the gazebo. The size and design of the deck is limited only by the room available inside the gazebo. Build the small deck as you would any deck, but if it is to sit on the gazebo floor do not use joist hangers for the floor joists because they hang below the rim joists when installed. Use treated lumber and then seal it good with water sealer upon completion.

Determine the size of the deck. Stand inside the gazebo and measure the available space for the deck. From that, you can determine the width and the depth of the deck. Depending on the size and shape of your gazebo, you can build it to fit between the inside walls in part of the gazebo or you can build it to fit in the center of it.
2Measure and cut the rim joists. Rim joists make up the perimeter of the deck. Cut two rim joists from the 2-inch by 6-inch lumber that match the width of the deck with the electric miter saw. Subtract 3 inches from the remaining measurement and cut two more rim joists.
3Mark the two rim joists for pilot holes. Place the two rim joists for the width of the deck on a worktable. Next, measure from one end and make marks every 16 inches. Place the framing square on the marks and draw lines across the lumber.
4Drill pilot holes and the placement of the joists. Drill two pilot holes on the lines with the 3/16-inch drill bit. Keep them at least 1 inch from the long sides of the lumber. Drill pilot holes 3/4 inch from the ends of the rim joists as well. Once drilled, make a mark on either side of the lines that is 3/4 inch from the lines. Draw lines across the lumber on these marks as you did the others.
5Cut floor joists and assemble. Cut the floor joists the same length as the remaining rim joists with the electric miter saw. Cut one for every mark at 16 inches. Place a floor joist between the lines drawn on the rim joists and secure it with the 3-inch deck screws. Secure the remaining joists in the same manner.
6Place the joists on the gazebo floor and secure the deck pieces. Get some assistance to help set the joist assembly on the gazebo floor. Cut the lumber for the deck top from the 5/4- inch by 6-inch lumber with the electric miter saw. Cut them the same length as the width of the deck. Secure them perpendicular to the floor joists with the 2 1/2-inch deck screws.
