Why Log Gazebos Have Taken Off

By Brenda Warner


Wooden structures are hugely appealing, and it is no wonder why they have become so popular. Log gazebos, in can do a lot for your garden or outdoor area, creating a focal point. Not only are they aesthetically pleasing, but they are also functional. A lot of people are good with their hands, and have the skills to make a gazebo. However, there is a lot to think of.

For example, you have to have good quality wood. Then you have to know what is best to screw or nail this together. If your wood is of an inferior quality, it will need more maintenance and won't last as long. You will also have to apply a couple of protection layers, which will prevent the wood from getting damaged. This will depend on where you are based as well.

Inferior wood will need maintenance otherwise it is not going to last. This may become frustrating. You may even have to replace logs, especially if you live in an area where the weather is particularly bad. One has to protect the material from wood eating insects that can ruin the structure in no time at all. There are special finishes and varnishes that can be applied every so often.

Of course, there are a lot of folks with good DIY skills who decide to save their pennies and to the construction themselves. The problem with this is that there is often more maintenance involved should you not have the right quality wood. It may last some time, but you will have to touch up with a good finishing product every so often.

You should also have a good building plan, because it is not as easy as you may think to put the whole structure together. Finding suitable clasps that are not going to wear away or rust is something to look into. There are other materials which can be decorative, such as the windows and the flooring. A lot of people look into tiles and glass windows. Good plastic on the windows is also an option as it is cheaper.

There are companies that specialize in making gazebos at reasonable prices. However, you need to shop around and make sure that they are using good quality logs. The way in which they are constructed is also something to take note of. You will be best off by looking at a company who has been in the business for some time and have a good reputation.

There are different stains and varnishes which make a nice finish. Of course, some people like this to be more rustic. This may depend on the theme of your garden. If you are trying to focus on the country theme, then you may just want to leave the logs natural so that they don't clash with anything. However, you may want something more elegant, should you be matching this up to the English garden.

Knowing the measurements and the placements is obviously essential. You can get the company to help you with this. They may also be able to install it for. You need to shop around and receive quotes to find out who offers the best quote.
