No matter what time of year it is, a gazebo is a classic and wonderful attraction to any garden. Whether you use your gazebo an entertaining area, a private reading room, a yoga sanctuary or just a place to get away, a few simple ideas can turn your gazebo into a dreamy, backyard get away.
idea #1: Add some hanging plants to the archways of your gazebo. This simple element will add colour and life to your gazebo, as well as enhance extra privacy. For even more privacy, consider planting annual vines. These vines actually grow pretty quickly and can be encouraged to grow into empty spaces or up around your gazebo frame.
Idea #2: Adding a humming bird feeder, a bird bath or a bird house to your gazebo can not only beautify your space but turn your gazebo into a great bird watching area.
Idea #3: Water fountains create a calming and relaxing atmosphere for almost any backyard space. No matter where you put them, it is always nice to hear the water flowing from one end to the other. The great thing about fountains is that they can be custom built by a landscape and stone company or you can buy one prebuilt. They come in many shapes and sizes. A nice place to put a fountain is near a walkway or in a place you can see it from your gazebo.
Idea #4: Create a romantic and well lit area with solar powered garden lamps, hanging candles or creatively strung Christmas lights. Outdoor lighting is limitless and makes a world of difference, especially on a warm summer evening.
Idea #5: A set of wind chimes are always nice touch to any backyard. You can hang them in the archway of your gazebo or in the entry way. Either way the wind in the chimes leaves a nice ring that sooths the mind.

Any gazebo space can be made to come alive at night with some fancy gazebo illumination! Not only that but you’ll be able to see your burgers burning on the grill 10 feet away and, see your companies faces only a chair away. Wouldn’t that be nice!
Gazebo lighting can be anything, from a string of lightbulbs draped around the gazebo, to a lantern to some candles. Of couse we all know the dangers of a lit flame burning inside a gazebo but, with proper precautions it can be done safely and effectively.
Of course the best choice in lighting is what suits your budget, your needs and enhances the space around you. There are many different styles of lighting today- different shapes, sizes, etc.
In general, most gazebo owners choose to opt into a general lighting, low-voltage lighting system. Low-voltage lights are safe, inexpensive, easy to install, and cosume less energy- which means energy and money savings for you.
Another great place to install lights in anywhere there are paths or walkways, danger zones like a pond or high traffic areas of your yard such as, the BBQ and table area.
If your not sure what kind of lights would best suit your gazebo or yard just ask the installer for their oppinion. They have seen it all before and would probably be happy to give you some ideas.

How exciting would a Gazebo Newsletter be everyone?
“Very exciting” you say!!
Well…. that is the response we have had so far!
People (people that view our website) are really looking forward to a potentially up-and-coming “Gazebo Newsletter”, containing News, tips, gazebo information, company growth, promotions and more.
So based on our viewers request we have a discussion going on about building a newsletter template to fill mothly or quarterly (we are not sure yet) to send out to those interested gazebo lovers. A great idea too might be to have a forward button right on the newsletter allowing the reader to forward it to friends, family and those interested. This could be a hit as someone always knows someone who knows someone who wants a gazebo! And why wouldn’t you? Well…you would! So the right question actually is Why would you -want a gazebo? There are so many answers…so you tell me!!

A pergola is a garden feature forming a shaded walk or passageway of pillars that support cross-beams and a sturdy open lattice, upon which woody vines are trained. As a type of gazebo, it may also be an extension of a building, as protection for an open terrace or a link between pavilions. The origin of the word is the Late Latin pergula, referring to a projecting eave. The English term was borrowed from Italian.
Pergolas may link pavilions, may extend from a building’s door to an open garden feature such as an isolated terrace or pool, or may be entirely free-standing structures providing shelter and shade to a length of walkway.
A pergola is an overhead structure used to make the outdoors more inviting, to extend livable space, to create a shady retreat, and serve as a major landscaping element. They were known in ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome. Pergolas were also a common feature of early Renaissance gardens in Italy and subsequently throughout Europe.
Why would I want a pergola?
