What is a Gazebo?
A gazebo is a great addition to any yard. It can be used for entertaining or simply relaxing in the sun. But what is a gazebo, exactly? A gazebo is a freestanding structure that usually has a roof and often walls. It is often used to provide shelter from the weather or as a place to sit and enjoy the view.

Gazebo Design & Installation
Building a gazebo can be a fun and rewarding experience, and it’s a great way to add value to your home. But before you start construction, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. First, you’ll need to choose the right location for your gazebo. It should be in a level spot that gets plenty of sunlight. Second, you’ll need to decide on the size and shape of your gazebo.
To build a basic gazebo, you’ll need to start by creating the floor frame. This can be done by attaching beams to posts that have been set in concrete. Next, you’ll add the roof frame, which will consist of rafters and crossbeams. Once the frame is complete, you can begin adding the walls and roofing. For the walls, you can use either lattice or solid panels. And for the roof, you can choose from a variety of materials, including shingles, metal, or even glass. But rather than spend your own time constructing a gazebo, leave it to the experts at Craiger Custom Design. Our team of highly skilled carpenters have many years of experience planning, designing and constructing gazebos.
How to Maintain a Gazebo
Owning a gazebo is a great addition to any outdoor scape but with it comes maintenance.
- Inspect the gazebo regularly, paying attention to the roof and framework. Look for any signs of wear or damage, and repairs as necessary.
- Keep the gazebo clean by sweeping out leaves and debris on a regular basis. If the gazebo has screens, make sure to clean them as well.
- In the autumn, remove any hanging plants or decorations from the gazebo in preparation for winter weather.
- Once the snow begins to fall, it's important to keep the roof of the gazebo clear. Remove any snow or ice that has accumulated and apply salt if necessary.

Gazebos have a long and storied history, with roots stretching back to ancient Egypt. The first known gazebo was built in the gardens of an Egyptian palace, and it quickly became a popular place for royals to enjoy the outdoors. Gazebos also gained popularity in Persia, where they were often built in the center of grand gardens. The Romans also adopted the gazebo, and it was not uncommon for wealthy families to have one in their private garden. By the Middle Ages, gazebos had spread to China and Japan, where they took on a different form. In China, gazebos were usually built with walls, while Japanese gazebos were typically open-air. Today, gazebos can be found all over the world, in both public parks and private gardens. No matter their location, gazebos remain a popular spot for enjoying the outdoors.
