More and more people are buying gazebos as a decorative feature for their garden. Used for thousands of years and built in a variety of materials, today’s garden gazebos tend to be wooden structures not only because it is a cheaper material but also because they can merge into the landscape as a more natural feature. This appeals to those who view the gazebo as a place to become closer to nature. A choice of woods can be used to build the gazebo and can look both striking and attractive.
Traditional gazebos were structures that were open but modern gazebos can be built fully enclosed or with lattices that can be used as a structure for climbing plants such as wisteria or clematis. In parts of the world where insects such as mosquitoes are a problem, screen slides can be built on wooden gazebos in order that the owners can relax and enjoy the beautiful views without the nuisance of mosquitoes.
Before purchasing a gazebo it is important to determine its purpose as this will have a bearing on the construction material and its design. It is also essential that the gazebo be constructed on the correct site, taking into account landscape, weather conditions and planning permission.
A good site for a wooden gazebo would be on an incline that would offer attractive views or beside a garden pond, where favourite flowers could be planted. A gazebo is a place where one can find tranquillity and appreciate ones natural surroundings.
