I've never built a building before but I knew that I wanted a BIG pavilion. Normally I'd go full till into the project but this time I decided to build this smaller pavilion with a built in picnic table before I built the monster one. This first pavilion went up without anything crazy happening other than GENEVA ALMOST KILLING ME WITH THE POSTS when we set them. It's size is 9'X9' and includes a built in picnic table. It's my own design but I did steal the idea of built in picnic table from the local state park - SUCKERS. Be sure to visit the How I Built the Small Pavilion section.
