Summers here and we will undoubtedly be spending more time in the garden (providing the weather permits), so I have been looking at a garden gazebo to provide a nice seating area and a bit of shade.

Whilst looking on the internet I have found numerous different types of gazebo, from steel framed canopy styles to wooden thatched types making choosing one a daunting prospect. Do I want one that I can take down in the winter or move to different areas of the garden or a static permanent one that will stay there all year round, this is the first thing I have to decide.

There are pros and cons to each type of gazebo with temporary gazebos usually being cheaper than permanent gazebos, but often do not look as good. I will have to have a talk with the wife and decide which one will be best, but I hope to have one soon so I can enjoy the summer in style.
