Welcome to our gallery of wooden gazebo designs!
Gazebos are classic backyard structures that serve many purposes. They can accompany your garden, provide a place of respite on a walkway, or cover your outdoor eating area. They can sit poolside or cover your patio furniture to become a screened-in getaway where you can relax and read while enjoying the weather.
Gazebos come in many styles and are constructed from many different materials. However, there is one universal material that is always classy and timeless.
Wooden structures are among some of the most common structures, and with good reason. Wood is the perfect material for a fine-looking structure that will fit nearly any style. Wood is timeless, pleasant to the eye, and easy to maintain.
A wooden gazebo can be stained or painted in any shade or combination of colors to complement or accent your space and design. There are very few limits to what can be accomplished with a talented builder and a material like wood.
If you are considering a gazebo to sit out by your garden or one to accompany your porch, a wooden structure is a perfect companion. You can admire the craftsmanship while you relax on your patio furniture or while you have brunch on a warm summer day.
If you have the budget for an average-sized gazebo, you will likely end up spending around $1,000. In this price range, you can find a beautiful and functional wooden gazebo. If you want something more, you may be looking at a price closer to $3,000. In this price range, you will have a gazebo that is more involved with more features.
