Warm weather presents the opportunity for a lot of outdoor fun, and many homeowners have finished patios with a sun umbrella to enjoy the outdoors without direct sunlight. However, a sun umbrella only offers partial shade for up to four people. It doesn’t provide protection from rain, insects, or wind. For this reason, many people are buying gazebos with canopies for their back yard entertainment. Here are some benefits of purchasing gazebo canopy tents.
A gazebo is a fun, stylish addition to a home’s landscape which lends an air of romance. Heavy enough to be stationary, it doesn’t require tools for set up. Which included footpads, it can be placed virtually anywhere in the back yard: on a patio, a deck, or the lawn. A gazebo can be purchased with a material canopy which covers the entire perimeter of the structure.
A Large Assortment Available
Gazebo canopies can be purchased in many vibrant colors, or even in striped patterns. Canopies are made of polyester, vinyl, or canvas. Most varieties include mosquito netting which can be drawn or zipped to cover the sides of the gazebo. Anyone who has ever been assailed by flies or bees at a picnic dinner can understand the usefulness of this netting. When not in use, it can be gathered and tied at the corners of the gazebo.
Buy From a Quality Manufacturer
Gazebos with canopies are sold in many places nationwide, but it makes sense to find one at a quality manufacturer, because the durability of the gazebo and its canopy can vary. Although standard gazebos are 10 feet, they can be purchased in larger sizes and in different shapes, such as an octagonal shape. This means that gazebo canopies often need to be custom-sized to fit the specific gazebo purchased.
Since gazebos usually remain on the landscape for at least five months of the year, they can endure a variety of weather conditions. Strong winds, accumulated rain, and the rays of the sun can damage the canopy, if it is made of inexpensive material. Better-made gazebo canopies can be purchased with UV protection, Scotchguard, and other amenities to help them withstand the elements.
It is often the case that homeowners will want to change the color of their canopy, or switch from a solid-colored cover to one with netting, so be sure to purchase your gazebo from a manufacturer which also provides replacement canopies. This will save you the trouble later of having to find a replacement cover elsewhere for your custom dimensions.
A gazebo provides plenty of room for dining and relaxing comfortably on a warm day, which is why it has become wildly popular as a part of outdoor entertainment.
