Gazebos : Maximize your Outdoor Space

Home decks have become increasingly popular among homeowners nowadays. This is because of the many wonderful advantages of having a home deck. However, the unfortunate truth is, home decks may not be for everybody. Reason being, some houses are built with architecture and occupy land areas that is not conducive to building a deck.

Some homeowners who may only have some sort of a patio would find it challenging to construct a deck and enjoy the perks of outdoor living. If this is your case, should you give up on giving your family the best outdoor living experience? The answer is no. Fortunately, there are other wooden structures you can build that are just right for the space you have and that will still give you the extended living space you’ve always wanted. Curious to know what?

The answer you’re looking for is a gazebo. A gazebo is a freestanding structure that is open on all sides usually built within gardens and on lawns. Gazebos may vary in types depending on the climate. Some of the most common variations of gazebos include pagodas, kiosks, pavilions, belvederes, follies, pergolas, and rotundas. Gazebos are the perfect wooden structures you can use to maximize your outdoor space and enjoy outdoor living.

Similar to the popular home decks, versatile is the probably the best word to describe gazebos. They can be an artistic accent to your garden or an extension to your garden itself! I’ve seen gazebos with vines running all over it giving gardens that enchanted look and feel while adding more art and attraction to your home. Not only that, gazebos can easily shift the mood of your outdoor space – from ordinary and lifeless, a well-crafted gazebo can turn your extra space into a homey extension of your house. Gazebos give you that comfortable indoor feeling while enjoying the view outside.  At the same time, because gazebos provide excellent outdoor shelter, you can put seats in it and enjoy a cup of coffee or read a good book while enjoying the quiet and the fresh air. It’s the perfect place to spend time with yourself and get rid of stress. Gazebos may also be used for recreation. Similar to home decks, you can hold small gatherings in your gazebo like a barbecue party or even intimate conversations with people. Either or, gazebos are excellent reception areas for guests.

Already getting excited to build your gazebo? That’s great. You’ll be more excited to know that anyone can build their own gazebo! There are so many gazebo kits available in the market and even online. Prices may range from $2000 to $10,000 depending on the size and design. Of course, you have to be practical on your selection. Pick the gazebo kit that suits your preference and your personality. It is also important to consider that it matches the style of your home. Your gazebo must compliment your home and enhance its overall appearance. Your need determines the size of the gazebo you want to build. If you’re looking to use it for social gatherings or to receive guests, you would want to get a bigger one enough to accommodate a number of people.
