Add a Gazebo to your Outdoor Living Space

Add a Gazebo to your Outdoor Living SpaceA Gazebo is a roofed structure that offers an open view of the surrounding area.  It is typically used for relaxation or entertainment. Gazebos have been very popular for years.  More and more homeowners are adding them to their properties to increase their outdoor living spaces, protect their hot tubs and even to create an additional gathering space.


A Gazebo can come in many shapes and sizes.

The most common seem to be an octagonal shape but you may also find a few in squares, rectangular, and oval shapes.  The construction of the gazebo is versatile as well.  The choices of materials for today’s gazebos can seem overwhelming.  You can choose from several types of wood, several types of metal, and vinyl. You can even choose the pop-up style made with canvas.  Some gazebos even have one type of building material for the frame and another material for the walls.

What material should you use for your gazebo?

Nowadays the most common material is vinyl. The maintenance free attributes and the longevity of the vinyl are definitely appealing. Vinyl will mean less time spent on the upkeep of the gazebo and more time spent enjoying it. Who doesn’t like that idea?

Usually, the only part of a gazebo left open is the upper walls. If you use vinyl for the frame do you have to use vinyl for the walls too? Absolutely not! It’s your gazebo, create it the way you want it. You can mix and match designs, materials, and layouts to fit your lifestyle and intended use.
