Why should I get a gazebo? If you are looking for a quick way to improve the appearance of your outdoor space and your garden experience, then a gazebo is the perfect choice for you. Gazebos provide your garden with a whole host of benefits, letting you enjoy the outdoors for longer. Can I put a gazebo on my patio? Yes, gazebos are best placed on a hard surface, such as concrete or paving slabs, making the patio the perfect place for them. Some gazebos can even be attached to your home, extending your living space during summer. Are gazebos good for shade? Yes, gazebos provide excellent shelter from the sun on brighter days. Most gazebo covers are made with material that has UV protection. Placing your gazebo or pergola in a location that does not have any natural shade from trees will help you get the best benefit from this shade.
We have put together a list of 7 ways a gazebo can benefit your garden.
1. Define a new living space. Think of your gazebo or pergola structure as a frame, giving you the opportunity to add definition to your garden. This gives the feel of an outdoor room, creating an inviting space to relax in.
2. Unwind in the shade. Nothing beats a cool patch of shade on a hot summer's day. Make sure you always have somewhere cool to sit and chill out by adding a gazebo to your outdoor seating area.
3. Improve the value of your home. Pergolas and gazebos can be a long-lasting addition to your outdoor living space, and actually, add value to your home. Providing they are well maintained, an outdoor structure can really improve the look of your garden and make your home appear more expensive.
4. Enjoy somewhere private. A lot of us have a garden or outdoor space which is overlooked by neighbours. Adding a gazebo or cover will give you the benefit of some privacy, making it easier to relax outdoors.
5. Entertain with style. Impress friends and family with a garden that has been designed to entertain. Give spaces a purpose and bring outdoor living to the next level. A BBQ shelter will let you be sure never to miss out due to the weather. Selecting structures of the same material will make create a coordinated feel across your garden.
6. Keep them cool. Many outdoor plants, such as the Fuschia, actually prefer to be in mostly shaded areas. The addition of a gazebo will also create a new safe haven for your cooler flowers. Fill the space will potted plants that flourish in the shadows.
