If you love to entertain guests while also having a stunning backyard, a gazebo can be a perfect enhancement. These structures are versatile and have several advantages. You’re sure to create a space you’ll enjoy for years to come, so consider the following.

Reasons to Add a Gazebo to Your Home

1. Increased Value

A gazebo will increase your home’s value since appraisers and prospective buyers will see it as both an aesthetic and functional addition that extends your home’s usable living space. It’s a great investment if you plan on selling in the future and want to stand out from other homes on the market.

2. Design Versatility

It’s easy to match your gazebo to your home’s design or landscaping. Choose a stained wood frame or use large stone pillars for added elegance. You can select from a number of roofing options, including colored shingles, and leave the sides open or closed in by screens. Paint the frames any color, add a ceiling fan and electrical power, and tailor the size to fit your lounging and hosting needs.

3. Protection From the Elements

A gazebo is perfect for giving you an area to escape from the elements. If you want to lounge and read, but the summer sun is too much, take cover under your gazebo. You can also install roll-down insect netting to keep mosquitos and other pests out. Add a large propane heater for the winter so you can continue enjoying your gazebo during the cold, snowy months.

4. Privacy

You can create a private escape with a gazebo by choosing an enclosed option with dark screen sides. It can also be a much cheaper alternative to a privacy fence since the latter has to have enough materials to enclose your entire property. However, if you already have a fenced-in yard, gazebos also provide a second privacy barrier if you want some time to relax by yourself while your family plays outside.
