A patio gazebo provides an outdoor space for entertaining family and friends or simply relaxing. Choosing to build one can ensure a patio gazebo is specially designed to fit a budget or include exotic features. Building a patio gazebo will require a bit of construction knowledge, but can be accomplished by most people with do-it-yourself experience. When designing a patio gazebo, consider the flooring, patio style, and screening. Flooring for a patio gazebo can be raised off the ground or level. A raised flooring may provide more of a feeling of permanence and allow for all-weather carpeting or hard wood to be installed. A ground-level floor can be built with bricks, flagstone, or even plain concrete. A foundation may be needed to anchor the patio gazebo firmly in the ground. Patio gazebos can be styled entirely differently, from the traditional octagonal open white design to a range of different shapes and sizes. Selecting the desired size first and then shape will provide a guideline for the other materials to be used. Durable cedar and redwood are frequently used for wood structures, while metal and stone can be expensive but last for years. Shingles from metal, stone, or wood are used to cover the roof. Paint or stain might be needed to ensure the patio gazebo is protected from the weather. Screens for patio gazebos tend to be more popular in regions with deciduous trees or where mosquitoes are a problem. Screening or netting can come in rolls to be cut to size, or in pre-cut sheets. Screening a patio gazebo can often keep wildlife out and ensure the patio gazebo stays somewhat clean in between uses. Choosing glass windows and doors can turn the patio gazebo into a permanent, year-round structure. Windows and doors may add considerably to the expense of construction, however. Through careful planning, a comfortable patio gazebo can be constructed without having to resort to expensive pre-built models. Depending upon the size, a permit or inspection may be needed during the construction process. While a patio gazebo may require some construction knowledge, a simple design can be built relatively easily and safely by anyone.

Summer is a time when you like to be outdoors. Sometimes, however, the heat becomes unbearable. If only you could find some shade. Well, If you don’t have lots of large, shady trees hovering over your patio, there is another way to get some relief from the strong rays of the sun. Consider putting up a gazebo on your patio. A gazebo is a stucture that provides shade from the sun, coverage from rain and, if it is screened in, protection from mosquitos and other biting insects. There are hundreds of different designs available and they can come preassembled or you may have to put the structure together yourself. A gazebo for your patio may be square, rectangular, hexagon shaped or practically any variation of the three most common styles. It is a relatively simple structure, consisting of a number of vertical support posts, horizontal beams that connect the posts into a shape as mentioned above, and a roof. There are plenty of add-ons to the basic structure, which you may or may not care to have. You may want to have screening on your gazebo, add a door, add lighting and maybe a ceiling fan. How you choose to customize and enhance your patio gazebo is only limited by your imagination and your budget. Having a screened in gazebo is great if you like to barbeque and eat outdoors. You can set up a nice table and chairs and serve your guests in the comfort of the gazebo. Spending a starlit night in the fall relaxing on a chaise lounge, also works well in a patio gazebo. Basically, anything you can do in your living room, you can do in your gazebo. Have a drink, play cards, even hook up a TV and watch a football game. Gazebos can be installed permanently by cementing the posts into the ground or bolting them to a stone patio. They can also be portable, where you can anchor the supporting posts in a temporary way. Most gazebos are made of wood,bamboo, aluminum, steel or hard plastic. If you are blessed with carpentry skills, building a gazebo from scratch is a fairly easy process. For the rest who want a gazebo for their patio, visit your local home improvement store or buy one online. Remember, sometimes, assembly is required.
Our Realtor suggested patio covers to stage our home. What are patio covers and where can I buy them?
That would depend on how much shade you want. Do you want enough shade that your family and a few guests can enjoy it, or will you want to chase the shade of an umbrella all around the patio? A gazebo would be better if you want the shade to be in a more stable position.
Hardware Store?!?!?!
Walmart sells unique patio umbrellas in a variety of colors to spice up your yard. You can also paint a patio umbrella with fabric paint with the color or colors of your choice to give it that pizazz you are looking for. I think the offset umbrella with the netting that turns it into a gazebo is a great buy and a wonderful look.
