Choosing A Place To Build A Gazebo
 A
gazebo makes an attractive and useful addition to most any property,
providing a place where you can sit and enjoy the beauty of your
lawn and garden along with a refreshing cool breeze.
If you're thinking about building a gazebo but aren't sure where
to put it, here are a few tips that might help:
· If possible, build your gazebo where you will have a 360
degree view of the most scenic area(s) of your property. Your goal
should be to have a great view no matter which direction you happen
to be facing.
· Try to build your gazebo on a slightly raised area of your
yard. I have seen some people even create a tiny "hill"
for their gazebo by building up soil and rocks.
· Keep in mind that people passing by your home will be able
to see your gazebo only if it is in view of the street. (This might
be a good thing depending on your personal preferences.)
Suggestions for enhancing the area surrounding your gazebo:
· A few well-selected flowers and shrubs planted around your
gazebo will add a country charm and a delightful fragrance.
· If you like watching birds, place a birdhouse, birdfeeder,
and/or birdbath close by.
· A nearby water feature can provide a source of relaxation
and tranquility while you're enjoying your gazebo
