For those living in an urban setting or for anyone with a large enough deck, the patio / deck gazebo offers refuge from your busy and often hectic life. The most common element deck and patio gazebos share is the shade they provide on those hot summer afternoons. Having a gazebo on the patio or deck provides you with a great spot for entertaining friends and family, no matter what’s going on with the weather.
Tips to Consider
Some of the more important issues surrounding deck and patio gazebos are building the gazebo into the overall deck design, so that the two become seamless. Many people want to create zones on their deck, one for dining, one for entertaining and another for lounging.
Adding a gazebo to the mix makes
this much easier to achieve as the gazebo is ideal as a dining location,
just be sure to add a screen kit! If you happen to have your deck
surrounding a pool, the gazebo is a great addition to the pool cabana.
Pool cabanas tend to be for changing, hiding pool equipment, etc… so
there really isn’t room for a place to sit and eat, sheltered from heat,
bugs and rainouts.
