Built your Gazebo!

A gazebo is certainly a not essential part of a garden but, when present, helps to make it more decorative and original. It can be used to accommodate guests during the summer months, for eat in the shade or just to relax having a drink.

First of all, if you want to have a gazebo in your garden you have to decide where to fit it and which size should it have, according to the space available. You will also have to study your garden's ground to decide what kind of hooks you will need. There are two types of ground, soft and hard... and each need special hooks. Normally a gazebo, to be quite comfortable for many people, should be at least 8 feet (2.4 m) tall and 8 feet (2.4 meters) in diameter. There are various types of gazebo's base: square round, polygonal. In order to get a sense of the kind of gazebo you want in your garden, you should visit a store that has gazebos set up.

There are two types of gazebo:

Metal gazebo: are cheaper because they are composed of a simple structure made of light metal such as aluminum or steel with a round cover. The advantage of this type of gazebo is the simplicity of construction and implementation, as well as clearly a very low cost. The covers for gazebos are often made of plastic and may be superior, lateral, or both. A classic example of this kind of gazebo are mounted in celebrations or festivals, and are also called "tents."






Wooden gazebo: are more expensive but of great aesthetic impact. They are ideal for large gardens or villas and give a touch of class. These gazebos have more complex structures than the metal gazebo.
