Although the gazebo may seem like an unnecessary investment, specialists note the price of wooden gazebos and pergolas are extremely flexible. The benefits in comparison with the price are large. For these reasons it is worth thinking of building it even though you are short on a construction budget.

First of all, you will be able to hold important holiday dinners and organize gatherings for the whole family. After all, there is nothing more pleasant than spending free time surrounded by nature on a warm summer day or evening.

Secondly, gazebos are extremely functional structures. They could become a place where outdoor furniture or other outdoor tools can be hidden on rainy days. If you don’t have a huge yard and want to make good use of the space next to the house, you can build a gazebo connected to that part of the house. According to experts, this way you will use it much more often in bad weather.

Thirdly, with the modern design of the wooden gazebo, you can significantly enliven the overall exterior of the house. You can add some luxury and uniqueness to the wooden gazebos and pergolas by using not square but round columns. Although this construction requires effort, it will come in handy for hosting gatherings or dinners.

Many of us love to enjoy the fresh air in the summer. However, in case of spending more time outside, an option to hide from direct sunlight is appreciated. For this reason, summer houses with wooden gazebos and pergolas can become a great choice for your summer vacation. The simplest version of the gazebo is perfect for everyday relaxation. Its sides can be covered with a decorative fence or creeper type of plants, blooming in the summer.

Specialists say a simple gazebo perfectly fulfills all the necessary functions. However, its shape can be very diverse: triangular, square, rectangular, pentagonal, hexagonal, octagonal, round, oval, or semicircular. The chosen form, style, and color must match the main house. In this case, the summer house will remain the main focus of the plot.

A garden house with a gazebo is usually built taking into account the need for size. If you receive a lot of guests in the summer, a larger summer house with a spacious gazebo can be a great choice. If you look for a more private option, check our smaller gazebos for your cozy evenings.

Specialists of Maestro Cabins say that wooden gazebos and pergolas can also be of different types: semi-open or roof-only. If you use glass or panels for one or maybe several walls, you will have a building that protects not only from the sun but also rain and wind. By installing an open fireplace in such wooden gazebos and pergolas, you will also be able to have dinners outside in colder weather.

According to practice, the gazebo is built with only one entrance most of the time. Although it looks nice, this solution is not particularly convenient. Another not infrequent drawback of gazebos is mosquitoes that attack warm summer evenings, which are avoided by installing special nets.

Wooden gazebos are still often associated with rustic style. However, this place for escaping from noisy everyday life could be modern and cozy. A pleasant and cozy environment is simple to create if you know a few essential tips.

Firstly, for turning wooden gazebos and pergolas into an exclusive space, soft, pastel colors could help. You also need to make sure that every item here has a function – the gazebos are not overloaded with stuff. You can also use foldable chairs and tables that save space or a lighter construction sofa.

According to experts, wooden gazebos are a great space to try out new, innovative design ideas, so don’t be afraid to experiment and bring old furniture to new life. For example, an old wooden sofa is perfect for creating an exclusive space for long outdoor sittings. Bring the gazebo to life by choosing contrasting colors of other items or decorate the sofa with bright cushions. If you want the wooden interior of the gazebo to be modern and tidy, wooden furniture with thick, dark wooden frames will give the impression of seasonality. If you prefer a rustic style, use a variety of flowers and plants for wooden gazebos and pergolas decoration. The green color enlivens the pastel shades and goes well with the wooden interior.

When it comes to choosing a place for carports and a gazebo on your plot, the corners of the plot are usually considered. The idea behind this is to leave a bigger open space for summer activities. It is also recommended to build the gazebo as close as possible to the garden house.  It will be much more convenient to carry things when having a gazebo next to your main house. It is best if the pergolas and gazebos are on the same level as summer houses. Constant climbing of stairs can be tiring.

Experts note that building wooden gazebos and pergolas directly on the ground is not recommended. It is necessary to prepare the foundation, concrete the columns or prepare other supports. The more open your gazebo is, the more it could be affected by wind, so you might want to consider walls that cover the inside part a bit. Larch boards that are not afraid of moisture should be chosen for gazebos. After applying a special oil, it will be easier to update them, because you don’t need to peel off the old paint or varnish. It will be enough to apply an additional layer of oil.

Maestro Cabins team says wooden gazebos could match all your personal needs if projected correctly. The area of ​​the gazebo can be adapted to a specific number of people, it can be designed taking into account future use and purpose. This is why the individual design of wooden gazebos and pergolas is recommended.

It is important to note that with the help of a professional team, gazebos from catalogs could also be adjusted individually.
