Garden Gazebos: Uses and Benefits

The Intimate Gazebo

In the very busy and demanding world in which we live – having somewhere where you can go to for some peace and reflection is all too important. Being able to switch off and go out to your very own cozy garden gazebo is a wonderful way to recharge the batteries, enjoy the fresh air and view of your garden.

With more and more people finding ways to work from home – having a special space outside the house while still being at home has become much more important, and this is one of the reasons why gazebo’s have become so popular.

Small and Medium sized gazebo are an elegant and attractive option for smaller gardens, the attractive tones of the cedar gazebo are welcoming and the natural resistant qualities of this excellent lumber help preserve it from insects and decay.

The Wedding Gazebo

Have you ever attended wedding in a beautiful garden or grounds of a hotel where the actual ceremony was held before a gazebo? This type of gazebo is what is often referred to as a “wedding gazebo” is usually white.

The beauty of these gazebos is that they are white and stay white with virtually no maintenance. A vinyl coated garden gazebo is a durable purchase – and if you happened to get married in it – what a wonderful way to remember that special day. White gazebos are not just for weddings, they really are such a strikingly attractive structure that will grace any garden.

The Dining Out Gazebo

Outdoor living is all the rage… dining al fresco or just for after dinner drinks and social gatherings, the Octagonal gazebo makes any gathering special, you can enjoy outdoor living and still have a roof over your heads.

The Octagonal, round or square gazebos also make a very attractive destination when placed at the end of your decking – on the decking – of course the substructure of your decking should be prepared and re-enforced to support the extra weight.

The nice thing about a deck gazebo is that the deck connects the structure to your home – making it easily accessible, which usually means you will use it and enjoy it more.

 The Entertaining Gazebo

Building a larger rectangular design like the 8′ x 12′ Victorial Design Rectangle Gazebo in the perfect place away from your home – where you can especially take advantage of a beautiful view during the daytime and later watch the sunset – is also going to result in you making lots of use of this elegant garden structure for intimate evenings, great family gatherings and is an ideal outdoor living place – at home – where you can entertain friends.

The Hot Tub Gazebo


You may think that the square gazebo was especially designed for the hot tub – and your probably right!, a gazebo over your hot tub gives you just the right amount of privacy and also protection from the elements – that contributes so much to the enjoyment of your hot tub experience.

Perhaps the most important hot tub gazebo considerations are that you should provide a level concrete base to evenly support and carry the weight of a hot tub that is full of water and people.

It’s also important to choose a square gazebo that is by far larger than the tub – so that you can easily get at least 6 people carrying the tub into it when you install it – and so that you can later move around comfortably – and don’t forget – space to service the tub from inside your hot tub garden gazebo.

So,if you want to have a casual picnic, a formal wedding, or nothing more than an architectural focal point in the landscape; no garden structure is more versatile than the gazebo.  The geometry of the gazebo along with the intricate decking and roofing system make the gazebo the most complex of all garden structures. For this reason HOMEFIELD has teamed with area Amish craftsmen to prefabricate each gazebo in a controlled environment prior to onsite delivery and installation. This method of construction ensures superior quality and more competitive pricing when compared to typical on site “backyard carpentry”.
