Gazebos are both one of the most recognizable outdoor structures in the world and sought after. They allow you to get the most from your outdoor space while adding value and beauty at the same time. But for success, you need to know the basics first.

Before you buy anything it is an intelligent idea to really think about what you want first. Many gazebos are permanent structures so by having at least a general idea of what you prefer first you'll be sure to increase the odds dramatically that you are happy with purchase for years to come. If you get stuck don't be afraid to ask a friend who owns one already if you can come and check it out and be sure to look at photos in magazines and design books too.

Many homeowners are only interested in a structure that is natural. If that is the case with you, wood gazebos are worth a look. Most often these are made from redwood, cedar, or pressure treated pine and even have the distinct wood smell.

Metal gazebos are an attractive option that can look quite modern and sleek. Those made from aluminum can be very reasonable in price and often come in kits that you can put together on your own. Wrought iron is another choice that looks a little more vintage and is usually also more expensive.

A relatively new trend are vinyl gazebos. They come in kits just like aluminum ones so you don't have to pay for them to be installed. However, their most popular benefits are that they are very cheap, durable, and don't need any regular maintenance.

There are a tons of amazing places for your gazebo that can make your time outside as much fun as it can be. Installing one in the garden is a classic choice that allows you to enjoy the view of your home and flowers. By setting it adjacent to the pool you'll be able to take a break from swimming without exposure to harmful UV rays. And when used on the patio they make an excellent outdoor room around a dining table or outdoor kitchen.

For this year's outdoor upgrade a gazebo might be just what you need. With a wide range of materials and places they work well there's a model for every space and preference. And even kits to make you feel like a pro, even without having any do it yourself skills. Just remember to take some time and think about what you really want first and you can't go wrong!
