Gazebos

Frequently asked questions about Gazebos

• Can gazebos stay up all year?

  If your gazebo is a sturdy metal structure that has been anchored into the ground, it should be safe to leave up all year round. However, we recommend clearing any snow that accumulates on the roof.

• What's the best colour for a gazebo?

  Cream, beige, grey and natural wood are popular colour choices for gazebos. But before committing to purchasing (or changing the colour of your gazebo), decide if it will be a statement piece or should blend into your garden's landscape.

• Can a gazebo withstand wind?

  A heavy-duty gazebo can withstand strong winds of up to 34mph when adequately secured. While permanent gazebos may survive even higher speeds. You may wish to add an anchoring kit, rope and pegs or weights for extra security.

• Do gazebos need to be anchored?

  In short, yes. This way, you can avoid unnecessary accidents or prevent your gazebo from blowing away. Most structures come with anchoring kits. However, your gazebo's base will play an essential role in deciding how it should be secured.
