Cedar gazebos are a superb addition to outdoor living spaces. Typically, a gazebo is a freestanding structure, open or closed on all sides with the addition of a roof. A cedar gazebo is constructed in the shape of a square, hexagon, or octagon and may be built on a concrete pad, deck, or directly on the ground.

A homeowner installs a gazebo for multiple reasons. For larger properties, people build gazebos near lakes or streams where they’d like to spend more time outside the home. Largely, a gazebo offers extra enjoyment of the outdoors.

A well-designed gazebo provides a place to relax, nature watch, meditate, read, or work.

Here we describe ten key reasons why cedar gazebos are awesome.

  1. A cedar gazebo will withstand the elements for years, making it a decent investment for your backyard. Cedar roofing and siding material is ideal for wet climates with plenty of rainfall and fog given that it resists mildew. As well, cedar structures are strong enough to endure strong winds.
  2. Cedar softwood makes for a sturdy structure. It won’t warp and split in a high moisture atmosphere like other building materials since it naturally repels moisture. A cedar gazebo survives brilliantly through both hot summers and freezing winters.
  3. Builders use cedar wood due to its longevity, warmth, and inherent resistance to insects. Further, gazebos may be screened or closed off, protecting everyone inside from more pesky insects.
  4. Gardeners love natural cedar wood gazebos because plants won’t come into contact with potentially toxic chemical treatments.
  5. The appearance of a cedar gazebo is an essential factor in landscaping. Cedar wood offers natural grain elegance, whether stained, varnished, or painted any colour to coordinate with an existing building. It may also be left to weather naturally to a coastal silver shade.
  6. Western Red Cedar, sustainably sourced locally, is naturally beautiful and blends in perfectly with our West Coast environment.
  7. A cedar gazebo makes for a stunning visual focal point in outdoor landscaping.
  8. The distinctive colour and look of cedar offers a pleasing atmosphere in which to relax and blends in exquisitely with nature. Homeowners who appreciate the natural aesthetic will be delighted with the rustic appearance of an unstained cedar gazebo.
  9. A cedar gazebo presents the opportunity to install electricity or a sound system for added outdoor enjoyment. Imagine soft music playing in the background while you read, write, or gaze at a spectacular sunset. Or your laptop can be plugged in for an instantly unique workspace.
  10. Cedar gazebos also increase the value of a property. A gorgeous cedar gazebo is an attractive selling feature and will hold its resale value when listing a home.

Emphatically, there is a cedar gazebo to fit every occasion and lifestyle.
