subject: How To Create Or Choose A Gazebo Design [print this page] If you are trying to decide if a gazebo design is the right for your yard or not you may want to take into consideration a few things. First a gazebo is a pavilion style structure that's known for being in back yards, parks, community areas and gardens the world over.
There are actually many styles to be considered when thinking about putting a gazebo within your yard. For example there are simple gazebos with just the fundamental ground structure and a cover and there are more complex structures to include screening and benches. Only you could possibly decide what best fits your style and that of your home.
Decide what you hope to use the gazebo for when deciding on the size of the gazebo design. If you plan to use it for outdoor entertaining of many people on a fairly regular basis you will want to make sure it accommodates as many as you may. Additionally, you could want to think about multiple types of seating to accommodate a large number of people. This may be tricky because gazebos are normally round in shape. You can want to consider putting additional seating around the garden area or the outside of the gazebo. If you plan to use the gazebo for special events think about what is going to be needed.
When you are working on your gazebo design be sure to keep in mind the overall design of the house. You do not want to break from that style when working on the gazebo. You need it to compliment the house not take away from it. If your home is classic you can want to keep the gazebo old school and traditional. The same applies if your home is more modern or perhaps is of a Spanish style, you will want the gazebo to reflect that same style. Planting is fairly important when working on the gazebo. Be sure you know what plants will surround the gazebo. This would help you to plan the size and shape of the gazebo better.
While you certainly can draft a design yourself, you can also find many different terrific options over the internet to choose from. Even if you're just looking for some great ideas, there's a wealth on information online. Finding just the right gazebo for your home is important because it is the one thing in the yard that could make your neighbors and passerbys say "wow look at that". Think hard about what you would envision inside your yard for a gazebo next to your house and there you will have your gazebo design.
