If you were to sit down and think about what would be a good addition to your garden, gazebos would probably be the first thing that comes to your mind. Gazebos speak to us of enchantment and romance so much so that they often are the focal point in a garden. In some cases, if you have larger gazebos, they usually become the venue for garden weddings and other functions. You can also see strategically placed gazebos in public places like parks and courtyards where they serve as shelter from the rain and resting places for when you get tired from walking.
If you want to place gazebos in your house, your initial options would be your deck, patio or garden/yard. Gazebos may be placed on the deck or the patio either as a stand-alone structure or as part of the whole ensemble and attached to the wall. You have more options of designing around your gazebo when you place it in your garden or yard. You may play with the landscaping to get the best ideas for your gazebo. If you're near the waterfront, you may prefer to place the gazebo there for a better view and better breezes.
When choosing a gazebo, you need to think about the material, the shape and the size. Most gazebos are built of wood because they respond well to the harsh conditions of the weather. However, modern gazebos may also be built of vinyl which is stronger and more durable than wood. Gazebos can come in many shapes. The most popular shape is the octagonal although you can often see rectangular, oval, hexagonal and dodecagonal gazebos. The size of your gazebo will depend on how much space you have in your garden. You want it to take not more than 50% of your space so it will look nice on your garden.
Gazebos are available for purchase from most outdoor furniture stores. They come in assembly kits which you can do yourself if you believe in your skills in putting them together. If your carpentry skills are more than average, you may opt to build the gazebos for yourself in which case, you really have control over what you want the gazebos to look like. If that's not an option, go ahead and find somebody with the needed skills and expertise. You can work with this person to get exactly what you're looking for.
