Garden Gazebo Houston.
A garden gazebo is the ultimate garden structure within your landscape architecture. It fits nicely
into your home landscape design, whether your property is vast and varied or a small garden design.
As a focal point, a garden gazebo gives viewers a place to visually rest-the mind can go there and
take a breather, even on the busiest of days.
Garden Gazebo: Shapes
The eight-sided gazebo was popularized by the Victorians who may have viewed the octagon as
having utopian qualities. This theme was certainly picked up by the amateur architect Orson Squire
Fowler, who wrote a book entitled "A Home for All" in the mid-1800s extolling the virtues of the
octagonal house. Be that as it may, the eight-sided gazebo is pleasing to the eye and to the
imagination.
While the octagon is the classic shape for a gazebo, other geometries work, too. For sheer simplicity and elegance, you can't beat a square or rectangular
gazebo. An oval gazebo appears soft and inviting. When choosing a dimension, let the architecture of your home and the topography of the land be your guide.
Garden Gazebo: Material Matters
The structural aspect of garden gazebos runs the gamut from sturdy to whimsical. Most often, they are made of:
Treated wood. Whether painted or stained and sealed, treated wood is the most popular choice for gazebos. It is also one of the most traditional. A white,
wooden gazebo looks pristine and wholesome, especially when combined with a garden arch covered in flowery vines. All these elements can turn a regular
garden into an English garden design.
Painted aluminum. Durable aluminum is another good choice. Its properties make it a likely choice for the Houston climate-resistant to rot and able to endure the
Gulf Coast weather.
Hardiplank. This fiber cement plank product made by the James Hardie Company has become very popular in Texas since 1990 when the company started
marketing itself here from Australia. The material is made of a combination of stone, quartz, sand and fiber, materials that can withstand our varying temperatures
and humidity levels. It is so well-made that its planks come with a 50-year limited warranty.
Stone or brick. A substantial material like stone or brick makes a beautiful gazebo, especially in an Asian-themed or Japanese garden. In fact, what we now call
2. "gazebos" have been a mainstay of Asian gardens for millennia.
Garden Gazebo: Other Considerations
A well-designed landscape plan will integrate a gazebo with other hardscapes, like pathways and landscape lighting. "Pathways can have a big impact on the
landscape and the experience one perceives as they transition through the garden," explains Jeff Halper, landscaping specialist with Exterior Worlds. The
experience changes with your material choice-gravel or flagstone, for example-and what is planted along its borders. Gazebos really come alive at night with the
right lighting, creating a vivid and shining image on the darkened landscape.
You can improve upon your deck design by adding a gazebo at one end or corner. Include built-in benches and tables or buy some fabulous outdoor furniture and
you've created an outdoor room to be enjoyed by all.
Commercial landscape design can be enhanced with gazebos, too. They create a memorable property when viewed from the street level and they also give your
tenants a quiet retreat during a hectic day.

This one will be perfect as you can assemble it without tool. Surely, it will not collapse on winter season as you can remove the cover and easily slip in back if you need it.

How can I distribute weight so my gazebo doesn’t sink into the soil?
I am designing a gazebo for a waterfront and need a cheap, green way to keep it from sinking into the soft soil while staying put. Any help would be awesome.

Set down something like 2′x2′ sidewalk block then a peir block on top of that. Could just go with the peir block but the sidewalk block will ensure the weight is distributed
better in most soil conditions. And the peir block makes it easy to build of posts set into it. May want to use a constuction adhesive between the sisewalk block and peir
and treated post into the peir block.

Screened Cheap Gazebo Needs Fix?
I bought one of those $100 gazebo’s at targets and it only has 4 support poles on the inside for the roof. My problem is that there is constant water pooling in the roof in
between these poles. Anybody know a way to fix this. I.E. Welding more poles? Straps? Anybody with the same issues???
Thanks!

Try to work more poles in side to top. It adds more support to the top and helps prevent the pooling water.

I want a 16th century style tent/Gazebo/Pavilion. Where can I find one cheap?
I don’t want to spend the outrageous prices that tent makers charge for ones made specifically for the period. I was thinking of getting a gazebo and decorting it up. Any ideas
on this?

Check with SCA – they’d probably know of sources.

Bought a cheap gazebo last year, poles labelled 1, 1a, 2, 2a, 3, 3a and 4. Can’t find instructions – help!
Can’t work out how it is put together and would appreciate any help to tell me what poles connect to what…

Walmart will have cheaper ones than Canadian Tire, but watch for sales at Canadian Tire…they have sales all summer.
