PVC
and powdered coated cast aluminum are lightweight and
inexpensive. Wrought iron is heavier, rugged and more
expensive.
In 2009, major manufacturers like
Hampton Bay, Garden Oasis, Garden Treasures, Martha
Stewart, Summer Island, Tivoli, and Sunjoy Industries
all trended toward blending rugged durability with
wider and taller frames.
The L-shape corner style has
been abandoned for corner columns, giving you a spacious
opulent look and feel. Leaves, flowers, and vines ornament the
frames. And a variety of new colors were introduced to help
match your outdoor decor.
Expect to pay $99 to $199
for no-frills options. Mid-range models with leaf or vine
motifs or corner columns costs $200 to $399. $400 to $1200
pulls out all the stops with mosquito netting, privacy curtains and
lanterns included.
Living Accents (L-GZ099PST). Why it's This
no-frills model is large at 10 x 12 and lightweight yet rugged,
extremely affordable and comes with a combo canvas/mosquito
netting canopy cover and
enclosure.
Home Madaga - 10x10. Why it's The
customer reviews are raving. Included with this mid-priced option is
a 2-tiered ventilating top, corner columns, and a Terylene
canopy. Terylene is prized for its durability and low
maintenance and its warm, natural feel that resists wrinkling,
puckering, and sagging. And the universal sun
shade upgrade is a good deal at
$29.00.
Sean Conway Tiverton
. Why it's It's lower priced, but high end, and a snap
to assemble. Included are mosquito netting, hooks, plus ground
stakes. And it has some of the best customer reviews I've
seen.
Unfortunately, canopy manufacturers continue
to struggle to produce canopies that aren't easily damaged.
Lightweight polyester canopy covers fly off when it's windy, tear
easily when wet, and fade.
Homeowners loudly complained. Manufacturers responded.
And outdoor room lovers everywhere are slowly seeing options in
a replacement canopy made of
heavy-duty UV treated canvas designed to last longer than
the frame.
Building Kit
Characteristics
Building kits use treated pine, red cedar, white cedar,
vinyl and PVC and come with everything you need.
Red cedar
with shake roof is the most popular. Cedar is low
maintenance and naturally resists damage and
decay. Prices range from $1000 for a 6x6 option to more than $7000
for options as large as 16x16.
Treated pine also
resists damage and decay though not as easily and costs on average
10% less than cedar. Pine needs painting or staining
periodically.
Both my front deck and back
deck are large and made of treated pine, and I rather enjoy the
project of maintaining them.
Vinyl and PVC building
kits cost on average 10% more than cedar. Vinyl models are also made
of treated pine, except the pine is sandwiched between PVC
making it almost completely decay and insect resistant and
practically maintenance free.
All these offer an endless
range of sizes and shapes with octagon, square and oval
being the most popular. And right now, costs have been slashed to
almost half of what they were a year ago.
San
Marino Cedar Building Kit .
Why it's The price on this cedar model has
been drastically reduced! It only requires household
tools for assembly. Everything is pre cut and
panelized. Includes hardware and easy to follow step by step
instructions, a metal cap, wooden finial, and decorative spindles.
Treated Pine Economy Octagon Kit.Why it's
What's sexier than free
shipping and no
sales tax? Pressure treated, kiln
dried -- twice! Includes zinc plated hardware, 100% cedar shake roof,
cupola, and finial. And an awesome design wizard on their
website.
Suncast White Vinyl Kit.Why it's I can't think of
anything more fun than getting a great deal on an expensive
vinyl building kit. The discounts are so deep it's
almost unbelievable. The roof has the look of slate. It
doesn't require any painting or staining, and it's just
beautiful.
Blueprints
Characteristics
Blueprints and plans
convey an overview of the entire project regardless of the shape,
size, or materials. They should include a detailed materials list,
placement schematic, measurements, and installation
procedures.
There are numerous designs expressed as blueprints.
Some of which are free. Just be sure you know what you're getting. Building
kits and canopy models include everything you need, including
the blueprints. Others include only the blueprints.
For some, planning a backyard
building project with only blueprints is simple and
straightforward.
If
this is not you, don't reinvent the wheel. When you need to
know how to build a invest in a quality set of blueprints in the
form of a building kit and avoid the frustration while saving time
and money.

So steal an idea. EasyOutdoorDecor is
brimming with inspiration to help you blur the
line between inside and outside.
It's not always necessary or desirable to
spend a lot. If your budget is as tight as mine, (whose isn't
these days), a cheap gets the job done nicely.
A higher price does
not necessarily mean better. Any outdoor room is better
when it does what you need it to do.
There are plenty of lower-priced models with
the same features you'd expect to find in only
the priciest models. So don't dismiss it just because it's
cheap.
Whatever
your budget, canopy models, building kits, and
blueprints perform well when the task is a quickie backyard
redo.
Some just do
it with more style.
And you don't have to
spend a lot to get the job done.
The web makes shopping
simpler.
Click, click, click and before you know
it, the new outdoor room is at your
doorstep.
It's magic when it works.
When it doesn't, you end up endlessly surfing.
So
just stop clicking all over the web! !
EasyOutdoorDecor is your one-stop shop.
The objective here is to live the gazebo lifestyle --
not pick a fight with your neighbors or City
Hall.
You may be required to give advanced notice and get approval
from your homeowners' association or local zoning authority. --
even if you've chosen an 8x8.
They'll want
to know it's an 8x8, plus information on the foundation you
plan to use. So check into it and see what's required.
If you want the it close to a small
garden pond, the house or pool, make
it a part of your existing deck or patio.
How does your garden grow? Accessorize it and you'll be
watching it grow up close and smelling your flowers at the same
time.
With gazebos so near the garden, it can easily do double duty as a
potting shed.
And an 8x8 makes a wonderful shelter for
outdoor
showers or a kids play
area.
