Gazebos are an outdoor pavilion or tent like structure which are
usually round, square or octagonal in shape. A gazebo is a
familiar sight, found just about anywhere, in parks, gardens,
back yards, on a lake or seashore, outdoor restaurants, etc.
Gazebos are usually roofed but open on the sides, sometimes with
railings or balustrades and sometimes screened in. The gazebo
floor might be grass, stone, concrete, brick or raised wood
deck. The gazebo's base or deck and the optional railing usually
follow along the bottom outline of the gazebo roof (round -
square - octagonal - etc). A gazebo is oftentimes free standing
in an open area or can be attached to another building or
connected by decorative wall or path. Gazebos are popular spots,
especially in warm weather, to rest, entertain, eat, relax and
socialize. A gazebo provides shelter, shade and often seating
and tables. Gazebos are unusually appealing structures and
provide a most attractive and ornamental feature to a property's
architecture and landscaping.
