For some it is to have a covered area that allows them and their guests to enjoy the great outdoors away from the hustle and bustle of the house. Others choose to make a gazebo the focus of an overall landscaping theme, something that professional landscapers refer to as a garden bone. Whatever the reason for having a gazebo built on their property, the majority of homeowners who choose to do so never regret making that decision.
Gazebos come in all shapes and sizes. The size you choose will depend very much on the amount of available land in the garden and your budget but what you intend to use it for should be taken into consideration as well. A small gazebo will be more intimate but the options for its use when you have guests over to your home will be reduced. A larger gazebo will allow more people to enjoy the outdoor fun but can also overwhelm the rest of your backyard landscaping and possibly your bank account.
You can buy prefabricated gazebos at your local home store but, if you really want to have a structure in your garden that reflects your unique taste, custom built is the way to go. By choosing to work with a custom gazebo builder you can be sure that you are getting something that no one else in the neighborhood has and that the construction and installation will be strong enough to stand up to as many backyard barbeques and summer parties as you can throw for years to come.
