Gazebos have been with us for a very long time. In fact it is believed that Gazebos were common in Ancient Egyptian gardens, and that was 5,000 years ago!
Gazebos are essentially free-standing, pavillion-type structures, and frequently octagonal. Increasingly popular in residential gardens, the are also commonly found in public areas such as public parks and gardens.
Today, Gazebos come in all manner of shapes, sizes and materials, from elaborate and expensive bespoke timber structures to considerably cheaper vinyl and pvc Gazebos.
Gazebos even come in kit form for those with reasonable diy skills.
Garden Gazebos, it seems, are here to stay!
