For my Eagle Scout project, I built a 12X12 octagonal gazebo at my old elementary school.

The PTA put up half the money for supplies, Lubrizol matched that to pay for the other half. Total cost of the supplies was around $2800, so that’s pretty darn close to what you found at the Home Depot. Yours looks a little fancier though, good find!

I don’t recall how many hours we logged, but it was fewer than 200 man-hours, including procurement of materials, and being amateur builders (teenagers and dads) I’d say a contractor would be able to put it up in about 50 manhours or less. Not sure where that $97,500 went!

Good find!
