There are many functional and aesthetic advantages to adding a gazebo to your deck, or a deck to your gazebo depending how you look at it!
Aesthetically, a ‘combination’ outdoor structure — a deck with a gazebo — says ‘elegance’ and the stylish ‘look’ beautifies any backyard setting.
Functionally, a deck with a gazebo adds a shaded and sheltered outdoor room for entertaining and relaxing. Gazebos are also cozy and intimate, providing privacy for dining or reading… a respite with a view.
Gazebos have been around for thousands of years, often identified with ornate, elaborate garden structures; however, contemporary gazebos are completely versatile and fully customized with design elements to match any architecture.
Contractors add interest to today’s gazebo structures with:
- gazebo design options – ornate and elaborate; sleek and minimalist; screened or open
- gazebo placement – as a free-standing backyard unit, adjoined to a ground level platform deck, or paired with an elevated deck
- gazebo shapes – hexagon, octagon, square…
- gazebo size – from small and intimate to larger for group gatherings
- gazebo colors – full range of color options from blonde wood varieties to rich hardwoods; white and other color choices
- gazebo materials – wood, hardwood, composite, vinyl; screens and doors; railings, roofing and trim
- accessories – decorative railing and balusters, built-in benches, deck and gazebo lighting, ceiling fans
No matter what your lifestyle, adding a gazebo to a deck design can add gorgeous and practical space for outdoor living.
