WOODEN GAZEBOS FOR YOUR BACKYARD

DEFINITION OF A GAZEBO – There is no standard definition of gazebos because there are so many different types of structures that are called gazebos. Sometimes gazebos are called summer houses, screen houses, pavilions, band stands, pergolas, pagodas, grottos and even rain shelters. When we go to town squares in small towns across America and see band stands these are also called gazebos. A gazebo can be made out of wood or stone but the most common for our backyards are ones made out of wood. Usually a wooden gazebo is a free standing structure.

TYPES OF WOODEN GAZEBOS – There are many types but the most common forms of gazebos are round, square, octagonal, and rectangle. If you are going to build your own wooden gazebo you will need a good set of proven plans to get the job done. It would be way too difficult to build an octagonal gazebo without good plans showing you all of the angles and cuts you would need to make to construct a wooden octagonal gazebo.

BUILD A WOODEN GAZEBO OR BUY A KIT – Most homeowners opt for purchasing a wooden gazebo in kit form. This is because most homeowners like the appearance and details that can be found in the wooden gazebos that come in kit form and feel they do not have the expertise to build their own wooden gazebo. Therefore, you do see a lot of wooden gazebos in kit form these days that can be purchased online.

USES FOR WOODEN GAZEBOS – A square or rectangle wooden gazebo can be used as a cover for a spa. The gazebo will keep the spa from collecting leaves and other flying debris and the gazebo will allow for use of the spa in more inclement weather. A wooden gazebo can also be used as a sun room. Many wooden gazebos in kit form now come with windows which give them a great look. The wooden gazebo can also be used for outdoor dining and entertaining. If screened on the sides outdoor dining can be a real pleasure in a gazebo. Personally, I like to use a gazebo as a place for morning coffee and meditation.

LOCATIONS FOR WOODEN GAZEBOS – You will want to have the wooden gazebo where you can readily use the gazebo. The wooden gazebo will become the center of attention in your backyard. If you are going to use it for outdoor dining then consider placing it within easy distance of the kitchen or outdoor kitchen.

WHAT ABOUT SHIPPING COSTS WHEN PURCHASING A WOODEN GAZEBO? – Most manufacturers today are including free shipping. I think this has come about because the homeowner wants to be certain of their total costs for purchasing a wooden gazebo kit and have no surprises on the shipping costs. Even if the manufacturer does not advertise free shipping I would certainly negotiate this item with them before ordering a wooden gazebo kit. I think you will be surprised how many will accommodate this request.
