Build A Gazebo In The Backyard

Why Have A Gazebo
|
Having a roofed, open-sided gazebo in your back yard can really add some value to your home. Entertain guests, have a private romantic dinner, send the kids out under the shade, hang a swing… let your imagination soar!
Here are some suggestions:
- A home office – Enjoy the outdoors with your laptop and wireless systems. Your clients will be impressed when you send them to an open-air office on a beautiful day.
- A spa – Go outside after a tiring day and relax in a bubbling hot tub set in the confines of your backyard gazebo.
- Exercise room – Sweat all you want while the breeze cools you off; when you do your workouts in the gazebo! There’s plenty of room for your equipment.
- Playhouse – The kids can stay out from underfoot when you send them outdoors. Decorate your gazebo with a child size table and weather-resistant pillows. Plastic tubs can hold a child’s games, books, toys, etc.
- Potting shed – Tuck your gazebo out of the way of foot traffic, but heap it full of shelves, tables, etc. for potting your seeds and transplants.
Because gazebos come in all sizes, there’s one just for you.
Some companies advertise a tent-like awning as a gazebo, and this is technically true, but most people refer to a gazebo as a stand-alone structure in a garden or park.
Our downtown community square has a wonderful gazebo where they hold summer concerts. Everyone in the area is invited to bring a box supper and folding chairs for an evening of entertainment. People love it.
Just imagine having a gazebo in your own back yard and inviting your friends for a music festival from "the good ole days"! Set up some speakers and a CD player; and dance on your gazebo floor.
