Gazebo Designs

Gazebos come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. No matter what the size of your yard or garden is, you’ll surely find a gazebo that suits your home and garden decor.

Square and rectangular gazebos

Square and rectangular gazebos are extremely popular with homeowners as they make optimum use of your yard space and fit in easily even in smaller areas like decks and patios. Square and rectangular gazebos can range from simple open structures to enclosed designs, complete with windows and doors.

Other shapes

Elegant pentagonal, hexagonal, octagonal and oval gazebos are also popular. Building these elaborately shaped wooden gazebos generally requires advanced woodworking knowledge. So, if you are planning to build one for your garden or yard, make sure you have detailed instructions and the required tools.

Gazebo design elements

There are several design elements you can choose for your gazebo. Most wooden and vinyl gazebos offer optional add-ins, letting you customize your gazebo so it meets all your requirements with regard to style and comfort. Thus, you can choose the rail and brace design of your gazebo or opt for removable screens, doors and windows.

Gazebos can have a single or double roof and come with or without cupolas. Cupola means ‘little barrel’ in Latin and denotes a small dome-shaped structure on top of a gazebo’s roof. A cupola lends a touch of classic elegance to a gazebo, making it a stunning focal point for your garden.

If you have decided on a metal gazebo, you can choose from an array of frame finishes along with canopy colors and designs. Many metal gazebos also feature intricate scroll and other beautiful designs that would create a stunning focal point for your garden or yard.

Gazebo sizes

The design of your gazebo is often driven by the size of your gazebo. Gazebos come in numerous sizes – so no matter how large or small or garden is, you will surely find the right-sized gazebo.

Generally, gazebo sizes range from ones as small as 6 x 6 feet to larger ones up to 14 x 32 feet, while the average height of a gazebo is approximately 9 ½ feet. But if you are looking for a larger gazebo, you can have one built in almost any size, depending on your budget and available space.
