Gazebos and Canopies

Gazebos serve multiple purposes, providing cover for outdoor living areas, enclosing dining sets, offering additional shade, and even sheltering hot tubs or pools. They can be fully screened to keep out bugs or weather, allowing year-round enjoyment of the outdoors. Installing a gazebo not only enhances functionality but also adds value to your home. A gazebo enhances property value by creating a unique and more livable outdoor space. It's a valuable addition for personal enjoyment and potential resale.

Pergolas and gazebos are both outdoor structures that provide shade and a place to relax, but they differ in several ways.
Gazebos are typically constructed over walkways or along the side of a house. Their slatted roofs are designed to break up sunlight, providing subtle shade without blocking out the sun entirely. Pergolas offer a stylish way to grow florals, vines, or vegetation across intricate trellises and latticework, creating an appealing break in the existing living space on decks or patios. Unattached pergolas are also easy to assemble and can be used to shelter vehicles, boats, or other outdoor equipment

Consider the number of people you want to accommodate and the available space in your yard. Larger gazebos can host more people, so measure your space to find the right fit.

1. Wood: Apply a sealant annually and check for pests. Especially termites. Consider insect repellants or professional inspections to maintain gazebo integrity.
2. Iron: Regularly inspect for rust, clean with a mild detergent, and apply a protective coating.
3. Aluminum: Clean with a mild soap solution, check for corrosion, and apply a protective coating if needed.
