Things to Consider Before Choosing the Right Gazebo

admin — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 04:47:27 +0000

Building a gazebo in the garden is an excellent way to enhance its appearance and to provide an enclosed space where you can relax and enjoy the outdoors. They are also excellent for get-togethers, barbecues or just to sit and have a cup of coffee outdoors. For a festive look you can string up miniature lights on the roof or railings of the gazebo. Gazebos are versatile and are becoming very popular. However, they are not cheap and so you should make sure that the gazebo you select is the right one for you.

Here are some of the important things that you should consider before making your decision.

Protection against elements

This is an important aspect to consider, especially if your locality is prone to heavy winds. A sturdy gazebo with solid construction can withstand high winds. A proper design will provide wind-vents in the gazebo canopy to release the wind pressure that builds up inside the gazebo. Also, the gazebo should be anchored properly at vertical points to ensure that the base is solid, whether the base is made of concrete, wood or stone. Moreover, most gazebos are quite heavy. For instance, an 11 foot model can weigh up to 350 pounds.

Protection from bugs

While you are looking for gazebos keep in mind that not all types will include screens to keep out the bugs. You have to take into account the additional cost and also the weight. In short, make sure that the gazebo you choose is equipped to include screens if you want to add one in future and withstand the additional weight.

How to secure the foundation floor

This is important as not all gazebos are the same. Typically, most gazebos are constructed on concrete slabs, wooden deck or paver patio. Irrespective of the type, all foundation floors has to be anchored properly. While wooden gazebos are secured to the deck using screws that run through the bottom of the wall section, to secure concrete floors you would have to use a drill to fix concrete anchors. On the other hand, you will need concrete piers for paver bricks and they have to be raised to match the height of the paver bricks.

Size

Most often, gazebos are manufactured in three distinct sizes. The largest gazebos are about 18 x 15.5 feet, the medium or family sized gazebos measure about 11 x 9.5 feet and the smaller models measure about 7.5 x 6.5 feet. Remember that you can always plan and build a gazebo by yourself just the way you want them or you can hire a contractor to custom build your gazebo to your requirements. With customized gazebos you have additional options to add amenities like windows and benches or you can have wider steps or go for special molding. The choice is yours!

Do You Heard of Vinyl Gazebo? – Zero Maintenance Gazebos

admin — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 04:45:40 +0000

There are numerous types of different gazebos and it makes perfect sense as every garden is different and each person has different preferences. A wide range of gazebos are available in different materials providing different options for a buyer to choose from, depending on his requirements and the conditions present in his garden.

The most popular gazebo is one that is made out of wood. This is because they will suit almost all types of gardens and moreover, wooden gazebos have a natural look that blends well in a garden filled with trees and plants. However, the major drawback is that wooden gazebos have a lot of maintenance issues. Regular maintenance is a must to keep the wooden gazebos in perfect condition. Metal gazebos, on the other hand, are heavier and perfect for garden parties. Metal gazebos provide excellent shade and protect you and your guests from the elements and garden insects. They are perfect for elegant outdoor dinner parties. But again, just like wooden gazebos, the metal gazebos too need regular maintenance to keep them in shape. In addition they are very heavy.

On the other hand, vinyl gazebos are for those who are looking for a temporary structure that can be removed from their gardens after use, something that will require minimum maintenance and provide adequate protection from elements for specific occasions and above all, something that is less expensive. These are the reasons for the increasing popularity of vinyl gazebos. It is very versatile in that it is light in weight and can be assembled with ease to be used all the time or to be used only for occasions and it requires minimal to no maintenance.

Different types of vinyl gazebo kits are available. These kits are easy to assemble and set up in your garden to provide a zero maintenance structure for outdoor entertainment that will last for a number of years.

Vinyl gazebos are not cheap, but then, you can hardly find cheap gazebos of any kind in the market. However, vinyl gazebos are worth your investment as you don’t have to spend much time to maintain it. Though vinyl gazebos have a number of advantages over the wood or metal gazebos, they cannot match the natural look or elegance of a wooden gazebo or the sturdy structure of a metal gazebo. Ultimately, the choice is all about personal tastes and preferences. Fortunately, there are enough types of different gazebos to find one to suit your requirements.

Garden Gazebo – Perfect for Temporary or Permanent Needs

admin — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 04:39:25 +0000

Though many people assume that a gazebo is a large wooden structure with steps, floored platform and cupola style roof, it can also be a temporary structure resembling a pavilion or a tent. These types of temporary gazebos are excellent for those who need a shaded area in their garden for an upcoming event. They can also be easily put up and taken down for a weekend barbeque with friends or in the event of unexpected rains.

Just like permanent gazebos, temporary gazebos or garden gazebos too come in a wide range of different shapes, sizes, colors and amenities. For instance, you might prefer to put up a small gazebo in yellow with open sides. Or, you might want a bigger gazebo that comes with screens to keep the bugs out in case you are planning to invite a number of people for a garden party.

If you are looking to build a more permanent garden gazebo then it is advisable to use cedar. Cedar gives a beautiful finish and is sturdy enough to withstand all outdoor elements. A garden gazebo made of cedar is not only strong and durable but is also lightweight. Moreover, cedar is also naturally resistant to bugs and decay which makes it the most preferred material for garden gazebos though other types of materials are also available.

A garden gazebo can be built to serve different purposes. For instance, it can be an entertainment gazebo or a spa gazebo or it can be built as a private teahouse gazebo. Purchasing a garden gazebo of 10 x 20 foot might be perfect for get-togethers, birthday parties or even for weddings. Gazebos made of white powder coated steel tubes can lend elegance to any party. This specific type of gazebo is large and includes six sidewalls with windows in four of them that can be opened to let in the breeze. They are built with impact resistant joints and PE materials for durability and can withstand rain or wind. With one of these you don’t have to keep checking the weather channel to schedule an outdoor party.

You can purchase different types of furniture for your garden gazebo depending on the occasion. For instance, you can go for lawn furniture for friendly get-togethers, but if it is a wedding party then white folding chairs would be a better option. In case you want a festive look then you can light up the gazebo with miniature lights and put up a fountain near the entrance. You can also place potted plants randomly inside and just outside the gazebo.

Enhance Your Backyard with a Garden Gazebo

admin — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 14:26:59 +0000

While backyards are mostly used for utilitarian purposes, a part of it can be saved to bring the joys of outdoors right to your backyard. This part can be entirely devoted in raising a garden filled with your favorite and beautiful flowers. Just imagine the beauty and peace that such a place can offer you. If you want to have such a place in your backyard, then including a garden gazebo can make your wish come true.

A gazebo is an outdoor structure that is freestanding, with a roof and open sides. A gazebo can be used for different purposes and they are available in wide range of different sizes and shapes. They can also be constructed out of different types of materials. A decorative gazebo that is used to enhance the beauty of a garden is often referred as a garden gazebo. A garden gazebo is most often included in a garden or backyard as a focal point. It is also used as a place where you can sit, relax and enjoy the beauty of outdoors. Garden gazebos are usually hexagon-shaped with six sides or octagon-shaped with eight sides to give it a more circular appearance.

Here are some simple but effective ways of using your gazebo to enhance the beauty of your garden and to make it your own special place.

If you are planning to include a gazebo then it is best to make it the focal point and build your garden around it instead of just placing the gazebo randomly at some place in your garden. When a garden is built intentionally around a gazebo it will highlight the gazebo as a focal point of your garden far better than when the gazebo is just dumped in a convenient location of your pre-existing garden.

Give extra care while selecting flowers and plants to be grown around the gazebo. Choose different colored plants and flowers of different heights and plant them strategically to give a natural look to your gazebo. Usually, it is recommended that the height of the plants that are grown around a gazebo should never exceed one-third of the gazebo’s total height.

While planning your garden gazebo make sure to check out gazebo designs that include trellises or lattice work in them. These intricate and beautiful structures when built in the gazebo can provide an excellent avenue to grow vine plants or flowers that can wind around them and make your gazebo come alive.
