When you are thinking of putting an outdoor gazebo in your yard, you will have to consider the size and design of the gazebo. You can go with something that is pretty low-key and does not draw attention to itself, or you can put something in that can be seen from all over the neighborhood and looks more like an eyesore than it does a gazebo.
You can go with one that is elegantly designed, taking hundreds of hours for an individual to craft by hand, or you can go with some generic gazebo that is pumped out of a factory at the speed of two a minute.
How Much?
This ties in with how elaborate you want to go with the gazebo. If you buy the gazebo that is mass produced, the price will be much lower than if you buy a gazebo that is handmade by an expert in gazebo design.
It also depends on how large the gazebo is. If you buy a gazebo that can fit 20 people into it, then you are going to probably pay thousands of dollars more than you would buying a gazebo that fits three people into it.
Where to Put It?
The choice of where to put your gazebo falls into three choices, each with its own benefits. You can put it in your front yard, backyard, or in your garden. If you put it in the front yard, you will be able to show it off to everyone in your neighborhood. However, it will then be a target for vandals. However, if you put it in your backyard, people will not vandalize it, but they will only see it if you take them to your backyard.
If you put it in your garden, you have the same situation as the backyard scenario, with the added benefit of having your garden accent a beautiful garden, while serving a place to enjoy a good book while you are surrounded by vegetables, herbs and flowers.
Outdoor Gazebo Colors?
Outdoor gazebos come in a wide variety of colors that can be put together in a variety of ways, however if you are going to put the outdoor gazebo in your yard, then you need to choose Earth-tone colors that will accentuate the feeling of being out in nature. If your gazebo is red or black, then your neighbours are going to start thinking that you are holding sacrifices there or something, so pick your color with care.
