Will This Actually Fit Your Yard

The size in a gazebo’s title is its roof, not its floor - the roof overhangs the structural posts, so the covered space you actually stand or sit in is smaller than the stated roof size. This page checks the published roof footprint for every structure in the range against common yard sizes (or, for the one wall-mounted model, a wall opening), and says plainly what is not published yet rather than estimating it.

Every structure in the range

Published roof size (from the listing title, or the manufacturer’s own more precise spec where the title rounds it) checked against four common yard sizes, rotation allowed. The wall-mounted lean-to needs a free wall instead of open yard space, so it gets a wall check on its own page rather than these four columns.

This checks the roof footprint only. It does not include clearance for roof overhang, water runoff, or the room needed to assemble the structure - add that on top, per the manufacturer’s manual.

Distance between the structural posts (or, for the wall-mounted model, the exact wall run and projection depth), and peak / eave height, will be published here once GARTOO provides them.

The wall-mounted exception

One gazebo in the range - the lean-to - mounts against an exterior wall instead of standing free. It needs a length of clear wall and a fixed projection depth in front of it, not an open footprint that can be rotated to fit a yard; its own sizing page checks a required wall run and depth instead of the yard-rotation check every free-standing structure gets.

Every structure with a sizing page

How much space do you need?

How much space do I need for a 10' × 12' gazebo?

That roof size covers more than one listing here: the free-standing gazebo; the free-standing gazebo; the wall-mounted lean-to gazebo GARTOO does not state which side of that footprint runs along the wall.. That figure is the roof, not the usable floor space between the structural posts, which GARTOO has not published for this listing - see why the roof size isn’t the usable floor space. Check the roof footprint against your own yard on its sizing page, then add clearance for overhang, runoff and install access per the manufacturer’s manual.

How much space do I need for an 11' × 13' gazebo?

That is the published roof size of the free-standing gazebo. That figure is the roof, not the usable floor space between the structural posts, which GARTOO has not published for this listing - see why the roof size isn’t the usable floor space. Check the roof footprint against your own yard on its sizing page, then add clearance for overhang, runoff and install access per the manufacturer’s manual.

How much space do I need for a 9.5' × 9.5' hardtop gazebo?

That is the published roof size of the free-standing hardtop gazebo. That figure is the roof, not the usable floor space between the structural posts, which GARTOO has not published for this listing - see why the roof size isn’t the usable floor space. Check the roof footprint against your own yard on its sizing page, then add clearance for overhang, runoff and install access per the manufacturer’s manual.

How much space do I need for a 13' × 15' gazebo?

That is the published roof size of the free-standing gazebo. That figure is the roof, not the usable floor space between the structural posts, which GARTOO has not published for this listing - see why the roof size isn’t the usable floor space. Check the roof footprint against your own yard on its sizing page, then add clearance for overhang, runoff and install access per the manufacturer’s manual.

How much space do I need for an 8' × 8' storage shed?

That is the published roof size of the free-standing storage shed. That figure is the roof, not the usable floor space between the structural posts, which GARTOO has not published for this listing - see why the roof size isn’t the usable floor space. Check the roof footprint against your own yard on its sizing page, then add clearance for overhang, runoff and install access per the manufacturer’s manual.

How much space do I need for a 20' × 20' party tent?

That is the published roof size of the free-standing party tent. That figure is the roof, not the usable floor space between the structural posts, which GARTOO has not published for this listing - see why the roof size isn’t the usable floor space. Check the roof footprint against your own yard on its sizing page, then add clearance for overhang, runoff and install access per the manufacturer’s manual.

How much space do I need for a 12' × 20' carport?

That is the published roof size of the free-standing carport. That figure is the roof, not the usable floor space between the structural posts, which GARTOO has not published for this listing - see why the roof size isn’t the usable floor space. Check the roof footprint against your own yard on its sizing page, then add clearance for overhang, runoff and install access per the manufacturer’s manual.

Sizing questions

Why is the roof size on the title not the same as the usable floor space?

The roof overhangs the structural posts on every gazebo in the range - that overhang is what sheds rain past the frame instead of onto it. The space actually usable for standing or sitting is measured between the posts, which is smaller than the stated roof size, not the same figure restated.

What does 'snug' mean, and why isn't it just 'fits'?

It means the stated roof footprint fits the stated yard or wall opening with less than 12 in to spare on the tightest side - a real geometric fit, but with effectively no margin for roof overhang, water runoff or the access needed to install it. Rendered identically to a comfortable fit, that margin would be misleading.

Why doesn't this site say how much clearance a structure needs from a fence or the house?

That figure is not published on any listing here, and this site does not calculate or recommend one. Follow the manufacturer’s own manual and your local codes for setbacks, anchoring and installation.

Why does the party tent or carport show two different roof sizes?

The title rounds to a marketing-friendly whole number; GARTOO’s own published item specification for that exact size option is more precise. Both are shown together, and the more precise figure is what every calculation on this site actually uses.

When will the space between the posts and the height figures be published?

As soon as GARTOO provides them. They are not estimated from the roof size or from a similar-looking structure in the meantime - a gap here means not yet collected, not zero.
