Is it worth building a gazebo?
Definitely! The gazebo quickly becomes the main place for meetings with family and friends, playing with children, evening relaxation, as well as a place to work with a laptop in hand. in fact, in the gazebo you can arrange everything that we would like to see in a home living room.Some people go a step further and put fabrics on the floors and never go inside with their shoes on. On a completely different side, however: a gazebo can only be a place for our gardening work, where we will set up a work table and where our garden tools will be located.Another idea for a gazebo is a field kitchen, where you can grill by the fireplace and prepare great dishes that taste completely different outdoors.
In fact, what character the gazebo will take depends only on us. It is important that the design of the gazebo and the material from which its structure and roof are made are adequate for its future use. Below are some ideas for a garden gazebo.

The gazebo in summer becomes the main place to spend time. It is worth taking the right amount of time to choose the right model. In the photo: a wooden French gazebo with an area of 12.5 m². Sold in the form of raw boards ready to be assembled by included in the instruction set. |
What size should the gazebo be?
The construction of a standard gazebo does not involve the necessity to apply for a building permit (but one month before the commencement of works, this fact should be reported to the commune or city office).The regulations say that for every 500 m² plot there may be a total of two structures such as gazebos, sheds or garden houses, each of which must not exceed 35 m².If you want to use the gazebo only for For recreational purposes, and only put a table with chairs, a fireplace or a set of lounge furniture inside, then we will not need a gazebo with the sides of 2 m x 2 m, 2 m x 3 m or 3 m x 3 m. People who want to additionally store bicycles in the gazebo , mowers, go-karts and other equipment, decide to have larger gazebos: for example, 5 m wide.
Closed or open?
Where to start looking for an arbor? Specialists from the Ogrodosfera store, which deals with the distribution of ready-made wooden and metal gazebos, suggest at the beginning whether the gazebo that is to be placed in our garden should be closed or open. Only later should we consider the issue of the materials from which its structure is to be built.“Unfortunately, customers often choose arbors emotionally, paying only attention to what they like best. On the other hand, when the gazebo is installed in the garden, it often turns out that in practice it does not correspond to the way in which the householders spend their time most willingly, nor does it fit into the garden surroundings, ”says a sales specialist from the Ogrodosfera store. If we want to avoid such a situation, let's check how a particular type of gazebo works in gardens similar to ours. The Internet could simply be a great source of information.
Open models will be perfect where a gazebo is built mainly to cover a garden table with chairs. The structure of the open gazebo rests on four load-bearing poles. Due to the fact that there are no side walls, all revelers have easier access to the inside.Open gazebos can be made of wood: then often their poles are in the form of trusses, gracefully suitable for planting flowers, and the roofs are made of material canopies. The roofing may as well be wooden: then the frame of boards is covered with roofing felt, bituminous shingle or, which is recently fashionable: thatched.

Open gazebos can also take the form of open metal pavilions, the roofing and side walls of which are made of any color (most often polyester).Pavilions of this type are lighter than open wooden gazebos, they are not attached to the ground (open wooden gazebos are often anchored to a small depth in the ground).They are much cheaper than wooden gazebos, but unfortunately - much less durable.An alternative between a wooden gazebo and a material pavilion supported by a tubular structure is an open carport made of solid aluminum profiles, with a roof sheathing filled with polycarbonate panels.

Polycarbonate is a material with a tubular structure that provides excellent protection against rain and sunlight (without limiting the access of light).At the same time, it is resistant to mechanical damage caused by hail or gusts of wind. AGarden ltans of this type look incredibly aesthetic, especially if we add airy mosquito nets to themThe open gazebo in the photo, due to its weight, requires anchoring in the ground. When buying a product, it is worth choosing a manufacturer who includes elements helpful in anchoring the entire structure in the ground or thanks to which you can attach the gazebo to the terrace floor.
Closed gazebos, unlike open gazebos, have a space limited by walls or balustrades, as in the case of the Amsterdam gazebo shown in the photo below. It does not take away their charm - on the contrary - it can be concluded that the entire beauty of this model is based on an openwork balustrade, which harmonizes well with the garden greenery. The effect is crowned with a shingled roof with a decorated truss.The hexagonal arrangement of the gazebo makes a round, spacious table, set around the benches, perfect inside. When trying to buy a gazebo, try to go under it and look up. In the case of this model, a wooden plank roof overhanging the people inside creates a unique, warm atmosphere, reminiscent of highlander huts.
People who are looking for an opportunity to create a cozy garden corner for cold evenings in the gazebo should look for more built-up models with walls.

Models of this type protect against rain, are perfect during rainy days and for meetings that extend until late in the evening.The offer of shops is rich in various versions of built-up gazebos: they can be fully built-up, accessed through a door, as well as partially built-up, in which only some walls constitute a uniform wall, while the rest can be checked or half-open.
As you can see, there can be many ideas for a garden gazebo. When buying a gazebo, you should analyze how we like to spend our time in the garden and what we lack in it, and then follow what we just like. One thing is certain: you practically never regret buying a gazebo!
