Handmade Gazebos For An Authentic Look

By Olive Pate


You want to do something unique and intriguing in your backyard but don't quite know what. You are thinking about looking at handmade gazebos to get some interesting ideas to bring this area alive. You don't know at this point whether to tackle the project yourself or hire someone else to take it on.

The decision will be mainly based on your talents with building, your budget, and how complicated the project is going to be. You can also think about purchasing a kit where all the made-by-hand pieces are ready for assembly.

If it is made by hand, then it is probably made out of wood although some can be made of vinyl. Wood is great because you can leave it a natural color or it can be stained or painted any color that you choose. You can paint it to match your house or the other accessories in the backyard.

A quality, made-by-hand model can be of several shapes and sizes. They can be rectangular, square, round, octagonal, and oval. The size you choose should fit your needs and the area you are placing the structure.

You will have several other decisions to make such as the shape and color of the shingles, what kind of flooring to use, and if you will be adding screens to the sides of the structure in the future. Many add unique and interesting touches such as tile work on the floor or a weather vane atop the roof. Others might add built-in seating, a small bar, or even a fireplace.

Choose your very own designs or select a diagram in a manual in a book that suits your personal preference and style. Plans and kits can also be found online. Some are free while others have a price. A quality look may be well worth the extra cost.

Some prefer a very ornate structure while others love a simpler look. Your taste may be right in between these two. Whatever the case, select what most matches the other structures around the area where you with to place it. For example, if you have a very low, modern building, the last thing you want to add to your backyard is an ornate Victorian style.

If you make the decision to hire another individual to put this structure together, be sure he is in line with your vision. Always ask for references and photos of previous work before making the final decision. Be sure to get at least two bids before starting the project. Even if you buy a complete kit, you may still need the help of a professional to put it together and add the flooring.

This project will give you such a sense of fulfillment whether you do it yourself or not. You will have a unique and versatile new structure on your property that will bring much comfort and pleasure to family and friends.
