Create a beautiful space with a gazebo

Gazebos are a wonderful addition to any outdoor space. When it comes to outdoor furniture, gazebos are truly a brilliant invention. They are essentially outdoor tents made for partying in, day and night. Whether you are having a garden party on a sunny summer day or a rainy day, a gazebo will keep you and your guests safely sheltered from the elements. With it, you never have to cancel plans again due to rain showers or windy weather. 

At vidaXL, we have a wide range of gazebos in various sizes, materials and colours. This means we have a gazebo for every garden and person. And should your gazebo ever need a new roof or something else, we also carry a big selection of gazebo parts and accessories. Now even a broken roof won’t stop you from getting together with friends and family. Browse the whole collection on this page.

What is a gazebo, and where do you put it?

As mentioned, a gazebo is basically an outdoor tent made for partying. A gazebo is a freestanding, open structure with a roof. Typically, it is placed in the garden, on a patio or similar. A gazebo is a lovely way to add some extra living space to your backyard or patio. It will keep everyone dry when it’s raining, and it will provide shade in the scorching hot summer months. Gazebos come in various shapes and sizes, which makes it easy to find one that suits your style and outdoor space. Gazebos are usually made of metal or wood. Metal, however, is the longer-lasting option, as it will withstand the elements better than wood.

But where should you place your gazebo to provide shelter and shade from the elements? Here are some ideas of where you can place your gazebo:

• Always make sure you place your gazebo on a solid, level surface. This will ensure that the gazebo will hold its weight without shifting around when it’s raining or windy. Usually, a deck or patio will be just fine for this purpose.

• Consider whether you would like your gazebo to be freestanding or wall-mounted. If you only have a small outdoor space, a wall-mounted gazebo is usually the better option, whereas a freestanding gazebo is perfect for larger outdoor spaces.

• Consider how much shelter, privacy and protection you will need. For instance, you might have a beautiful view that you don’t want to block. So just be a little bit mindful of where you are going to place the gazebo.

Gazebos: Must-haves for every summer party

Are you planning a summer party for friends and family? A garden wedding? A children’s birthday party? A barbecue for all the neighbours? No matter what kind of summer party you are planning, a gazebo is an absolute must-have. A gazebo is made for occasions like these. If you don’t want a permanent gazebo in your garden, you can always go for a pop-up shelter or gazebo. This way, you can easily put it up whenever you need it and then store it in a shed or garage until you need it again. Whether you are in the market for a modern, classic gazebo or a more unique gazebo, you will find it at vidaXL.

But while you are at it, why stop with a gazebo? Why not get some new garden furniture, lighting for your garden, heaters and some decoration? It is so easy to make your outdoor space look gorgeous in no time. Just a couple of plants, a garden table and a chair set and some comfy cushions, and you have a sanctuary in your backyard in no time. 

A gazebo for every occasion

At vidaXL, we have a wide range of gazebos that will protect your outdoor setting from the sun, rain and wind. In our wide collection, you will find a variety of gazebos, such as:

• The enclosed canopy

• The wall-mounted gazebo

• The folding party tent

• The pop-up gazebo

• The BBQ gazebo

• The freestanding gazebo

With so many different gazebos, we are positive there is a gazebo that suits your outdoor space and the occasion. As mentioned, a pop-up gazebo is perfect if either you don’t want a permanent gazebo in your garden or you just have a one-time party. A BBQ gazebo is ideal whenever you want to cook outside and you need shelter from the rain and wind. As you can see, there is a gazebo for every party and occasion.

Gazebos in various shapes and sizes

As mentioned, we carry a wide range of different gazebos, and we are sure we have one that suits your needs as well. We have gazebos in every shape and size you can possibly imagine. Most of our gazebos are hexagonal, but you will also find other options, such as round canopies and rectangular gazebos.

All our gazebos are built with resistant and sturdy materials, and they are built to withstand the test of time - and the rain and wind. Because our gazebos come in so many shapes and sizes, you will find a gazebo for both small gatherings and big, grand parties for all your friends and family.

A wide range of gazebo parts and accessories

At vidaXL, we also offer a wide selection of gazebo parts and accessories that are perfect for your new gazebo. Our gazebo parts and accessories are perfect both to complement and maintain your new gazebo. Because a gazebo is exposed to sun, rain and wind, it will need a little love and care every now and then, and it is important you get the right gazebo parts and accessories to maintain your gazebo. In our selection, you will find items such as:

• Tie-down ropes

• Pegs for anchoring

• Repair kits

• Covers

• Roofs

• Weight plates

Also, remember that if you use your gazebo on hardstands, you need to tie it to a stable object to ensure it doesn’t fall over. You can also use weight plates for extra support if it is very windy or rainy. If you don’t have weight plates, you can also use sandbags or similar.

Five benefits of having a gazebo

We have already talked a bit about why we love gazebos, but let’s look at our five top reasons:

1. You can use gazebos all year round. Gazebos will protect you from the elements all year round. Whether you need protection from the sun, rain or wind, a gazebo will have your back. While it might be colder in the winter months, the gazebo will keep you sheltered, and if you add a heater, you can extend the summer season long into the autumn months.

2. Gazebos are easy to maintain. Generally, gazebos don’t require very much maintenance, and they are easy to look after. 

3. They give your party a social boost. With a gazebo, there is no reason for people to leave the party just because a shower comes through. Instead, everyone can gather in the gazebo and wait for the sun to come out again.

4. They look amazing. One of the great things about gazebos is that they look fantastic, and they add a lovely atmosphere to any outdoor space.

5. They are affordable. While gazebos can be an expensive purchase, the gazebos at vidaXL are affordably priced. We believe everyone should be able to afford a beautiful gazebo for their outdoor space.
