A gazebo is a freestanding structure found in most homes and serves as a garden decoration or temporary shelter. It usually has a roof and is open on all sides. They come in many forms, including foliage, pergolas, kiosks, pavilions, rotundas, and pagodas. They are often custom-made to the taste of the homeowner. But there are also those who prefer folding pergolas because they are less hassle. According to records, the term was first used by architects to describe Chinese building structures. It was later adopted by Westerners, and eventually, the design itself made its way to the UK and North America.
Several Reasons When Installing a Gazebo
Nowadays, people usually consider several reasons when installing a gazebo in their yard. Some people buy them for shade, while others buy them to enjoy the outdoors. In summer, it is certainly more pleasant to relax under its shade. If one feels adventurous, a gazebo can also be a great place for alfresco dining. In fact, most people buy a gazebo to have a functional area for barbecues and family events – weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, etc. And while this is all practical, some people buy gazebos for sale just to increase the value of the home. This is one of the easiest remodeling projects a homeowner can do to increase the value of their home by a few hundred or thousands.

Choosing the Types of Gazebo
Gazebos are relatively easy to build, especially if you buy a ready-made gazebo. The difficulty lies in choosing the type of gazebo, as there are many types of gazebos for sale. Before making a final decision, you need to consider several factors to finally choose the best option.
Type of Gazebo Designs
First, you need to determine what types of gazebo design you want. Look, it can be built with a pop-up roof, sunroof, or a simple tile roof. You also need to think about the size and structure of the pergola, whether to use thick or thin poles, whether to install curtains or leave it open, whether to use concrete or wood and what kind of wood, and finally what design to choose: round, square or octagonal. Some prefab pergolas have doors, so you also need to decide if you want to go this route.
The next thing you need to worry about is electricity. Since this is basically an outdoor extension of your home, you need to consult an electrician on how to provide a power source for your gazebo. Some people use generators, others install underground power lines. You then need to decide if you want to install heaters, fans, and sockets in the gazebo in addition to lighting.
Finally, think about the location as well as the landscaping of the backyard. You can’t just put a pergola in the middle of your yard without thinking about how it will fit into its environment. It better have something to do with the house or the landscape.
