- Vinyl
Vinyl outdoor garden gazebo is known for their longevity as well as conventional, prominent styles. While vinyl can show the trauma of a dent or scuff if something hits it or drops on it, supporting the vinyl with aluminum inserts and steel fasteners can increase the durability of the structure. The material is also affordable in terms of maintenance – you’ll only need to do seasonal cleaning using a hose to maintain its effectiveness. Plus, vinyl can be modified to give the appearance of stone, brick, or wood, allowing you to achieve different types of looks.
- Metal
If your garden tends to hold water or you’re looking to build a gazebo that won’t sustain insect damage, then it might be a good idea to go for a sturdier material like metal. You can choose wrought iron, steel or even aluminum. The last of these is the most cost-effective and lightweight. It’s also easy to install aluminum during the construction of the project. Wrought iron or steel, on the other hand, are more suitable for achieving a stronger foundation for your shelter. With all that said, anyone looking to use metal as the material for their garden gazebo should search for a permanent space for their project. That’s because it’s not easy to disassemble the structure once it’s up.
- Wood
If you want a more rustic and traditional feel to your gazebo, use wood. Premium cedar and redwood are often used to construct the gazebo’s structure, which ensures a lasting deck for your garden. Boards that are cut for wooden gazebos are typically sanded and smoothed at the edges to prevent splinters from harming anyone who decides to walk barefoot on the gazebo. Our cedar and redwood decking supplies are lighter on the pocket than either exotic hardwood or composite decking.
