The Thing About Gazebo’s

Friday, August 8th, 2008

 The moment you have bin dreading has finally come. You did what you could all Sumner, you kept the Menard’s and home depot fliers out of the house, you avoided home shows all year long, you even have avoided friends who have one. but sooner or later you knew this time would come, YOUR WIFE WANTS A GAZEBO!! why, why a gazebo, she could have went for something square and easy to build but no she had to go with the one building that takes more angles then a bad politician. Now the reason she wants a gazebo may be because they are romantic, or maybe because they are expensive, or that it will just look nice compared to the neighbors backyard. but it doesn’t really matter does it because either way your the one who has to figure out how to build this gazebo.

All the people we talked to that have built there own gazebo said that it took longer then any other room or project they have attempted around the house. but it doesn’t have to. the thing to remember is what looks to be the least expensive rout, does not always turn out that way in the long run. For example, Menard’s and home depot will sell you a gazebo kit for very cheap, but the lumber is not always the best and the kit usually amounts to nothing more then a cut list, which doesn’t really help you if your looking for a plan that takes less time. There are a lot of manufacturers that build gazebos in panelized kits,which is not a bad way to go but it still takes two or three fairly strong people to assemble one. Unless your a person who likes to use up all of your free time on one project all Sumner long, you will be looking for a third option.

What we like to tell people is that all they need is a lawn chair and we’ll do the rest. does that sound like what you had in mind? The thing is there not that hard to put together…..if you do it for a living like we do. so why struggle with hard to understand directions, lumber that looks like it got to close to a nuclear plant and so much stain on you arms and clothing that it looks like you executed a family of chocolate bunnies, when there are qualified people that do this everyday. Gazebos are an art that has taken us years to perfect, so when we bring your gazebo to your home you can be sure that you are getting the best in the business.

So tell your wife that she deserves the best then give us a call or stop by our website at www.northwoodoutdoor.com
