Top 10 Gazebo Designs
Filed under Gardening Services
A gazebo is one of those design elements that will never be out of vogue. It couples old world charm with modern functionality, livening up the outdoor space and offering an escape from the elements and indoor mayhem!
Here we take a look at the top 10 gazebo designs to contemplate for your abode:
1. Enchanted woods
A gazebo nestled in a forest may sound like a fairytale. But you don't necessarily need a lot of space to bring it to fruition. Simply pick a spot in the garden between the trees and construct a quaint timber gazebo, as well as a lovely little bridge leading up to it. Et voila you have a romantic, serene spot for quiet contemplation or celebration.
2. Attached abode
We tend to think of gazebos as a separate structure. But some of the best structures are attached to the house. Constructed in the same materials and colors as the exterior of the home, an attached gazebo offers an accessible outdoor room with a roof for year-round use.
3.Wave on
Traditionally, gazebos sport a triangular roof. But modern gazebos are scrapping that in favor of some seriously funky, forward-thinking designs. We've seen glamorously curved gazebos, created with just one set of slats stretching across a little like a timber tent.
4. Cubed
Picture this: a manicured lawn (preferably artificial), perfectly paved outdoor area, and a cube. Yes, a single structure cube positioned in the middle of the landscape, with a simple timber floor and grid roof. With one or two chairs and a small table set inside, it's perhaps the most minimalist gazebo possible.
5. Matchsticks
Another quirky yet incredible cool contemporary gazebo design is one that looks like it's been constructed from millions of matchsticks. The wood structure features lots of little beams on two sides, an open front, and a lattice roof. It lets in loads of light and provides an easy entertaining space, without sticking out.
6. Island shack
A gazebo is the perfect addition to a swimming pool and deck. And to create the ultimate island lagoon, consider a pretty pool shack. With a thatched roof and sustainably sourced timber, this gazebo design is the best spot to dry off after a dip and sip a fresh coconut.
7. African hut
Fancy going on safari? You can in your own backyard, with an African-style gazebo. It?s possible to source authentic thatch tiles from Africa, to create a genuine gazebo that blends with a wild garden.
8. From the gazebo to the kitchen
When designing your gazebo, it doesn't just have to be a single structure. You can also create a mini gazebo to house an outdoor kitchen. That way, you have to distinct areas for cooking, eating and entertaining and easily create your own holiday resort.
9. A steely shade
Timber is a traditional gazebo material; but stainless steel is making an appearance too. Clever designs include a tubular stainless steel back, with a retractable roof to control the filtration of sunlight. Choose a neutral hue that blends with the surrounding greenery.
10. Go faux
At first glance, many gazebos look like timber. But it might just be a fa�ade. Fibreglass, wood composite, plastic or recycled wood look just like the real thing without the price tag or environmental concerns.
