Gazebos: What's in Store for Spring 2011?


Although the chilly temperatures, rain, and snow are current weather forecasts, springtime is just around the corner. No one is really thinking about entertaining outdoors, but now may be a good time to start. Big box retail stores around the country are rolling out their new and/or existing line of gazebos, ready for that first day of spring. As a recognized and trusted seller of aftermarket custom replacement canopies for gazebos sold at big box retail stores, Garden Winds provides insight and information on the current trends for gazebos. This article will outline the varying characteristics, trends, details on gazebos for 2011, in hopes that the information provided will, help you, as a consumer, better decide on the gazebo that will fit perfectly in your backyard.

Hardtop Gazebos vs. Fabric Top (Soft top) Gazebos

A few of the big box retail stores are debuting hardtop gazebos into their gazebo collection and designed to be an additional room, and extension of the home. Hardtop gazebos feature a solid, roof like structure that is designed to withstand snow and rain. It is durable because it is made out of strong plastic material. This appears to be an addition to the today's collection of gazebos that have a canopy fabric as the roof, also known as a soft top gazebo.

The soft top gazebo is the widely popular alternative available. Soft top indicates that the roof is made out of an outdoor fabric, such as polyester, nylon, or canvas. The material acts as a roof to protect from the sun, and by no means is a way of protection from the heavy snow or heavy rain, like that of the hardtop gazebos. Most soft top gazebos are single tier in structure or double tiered.

Living Room Space, Outdoors

Aside from the traditional 10 x 10 square size gazebos, retailers are offering larger, roomier gazebos that are definitely made for entertaining outside. This spring's gazebos are also sold in a 12 x 12 square size, 10 x 12 rectangular size, and an octagon (eight sides) shape. Ample space outdoors is needed in order to accommodate the larger size gazebo frames. Spring and summer entertaining is encouraged with these bigger and roomier gazebos.
