Getting Started With Gazebos

By Mike Hienstat


Gazebos are world-renowned for their ability to provide relief from the hot sun while adding some serious looks to outdoor spaces. And while shopping for one can be thrilling, it's always smart to do some reading up on the basics first. So here is your quick introduction.

Not everyone needs a shady spot on a regular basis, only only on special occasions. If this sounds like your situation a pop up gazebo is most likely for you. Light in weight, not expensive, but good looking they can be the perfect place to have fun outside when throwing a party, wedding, event, or simply entertaining a few guests for the afternoon. A lot of companies actually rent these out, usually by the day which might be a smart choice if you will only be needing to use a pop up once or twice in total.

Where you put your gazebo comes down to your personal preference and of course the layout of your property. If you have any features such as a scenic view or water garden you may want to consider them first. Another popular choice is to install your gazebo where you will need shade the most such as on a patio or next to a swimming pool to ensure you can always get out of the sun.

Nowadays, gazebo kits are typically thought to be the most intelligent way to shop because they are so convenient. These usually come in metal, wood, and vinyl so that even the pickiest purchasers will be satisfied. Kits include every piece, part, and fastener required to put the gazebo together with as little skill as possible. But, you will need someone to help you to do so, a few spare hours to get it down, and a couple of basic tools but not many. If you shop around discounts on kits are pretty easy to find.

A common choice of consumers who plan on using their structure in one place long-term is a permanent gazebo. You will find these made from wood and metal because they are so sturdy and can handle high winds easily. However, in recent years vinyl options have become more and more popular. While they may not have the charm of wood or the strength of metal they are very durable, require no maintenance and are quite inexpensive.

There are many options to consider other than full size structures. If you love to cook but not the glaring sun, you might want to think about a gazebo grill which will cover you while making food and also provide shelving for your supplies. You can even find wire kennels for dogs with canopies that are made to make your pooch feel like he has his own private miniature gazebo too.

Whether you choose something permanent or a pop up, gazebos offer the best way to add looks and function to your outdoor space. Just be sure to take it slow and decide which one meets your needs first and then of course pick a spot and get ready to relax.
