Get your Dream Gazebo Just in Time for Summer

Who doesn’t like being able to enjoy a nice spring or summer day outside? A gazebo can come in a variety of shapes and sizes and can be a beautiful addition to your outdoor space. They can be decorated or covered with climbing plants to give it a beautiful, and more natural feel.

One-sided

The one-sided gazebo is probably the type you are most familiar with. These gazebos can be free standing or built into a deck or patio. There are different variations of this gazebo, and they can be made with many material types such as metal, wood, or fiberglass depending on your needs. Additionally, roll up netting can be added to keep the bugs out. Many people are also opting for the addition of ceiling fans, lights, and sound systems for added comfort and enjoyability.

Pergola

A pergola is another favorite. These gazeboes typically have a lot of space, making them perfect for adding chairs and a table. Structurally these gazeboes usually have a flat roof and beams which are fantastic for climbing vines. Like the one-side gazebo, these can be either attached or free standing.

Arbor

If you are looking for gazebos similar the pergola, but smaller, the arbor may be right for you. The gazeboes are also wonderful for climbing plants, and they typically have four bans and a flat roof. These gazeboes generally are used as a decorative asset to a yard, but they do offer many of the same benefits.
Gazeboes can be a beautiful addition to your yard. But remember when selecting which gazebo is right for you to consider your landscape as well as the style of your house. Be sure that you are choosing a gazebo that is large enough for your intended purpose.

Setting up a Gazebo – Points to Consider

A charming gazebo is a great way to enjoy the outdoors. Wooden handcrafted gazebos add to the beauty of a setting and are an ideal place to relax in, enjoy a meal, or take a quick break from outdoor work. The spot where you set up the structure is important. Here are some things to consider when you set it up:

  • As the idea is to enjoy the outdoors, set it up in a spot in your garden where you have a nice view. Make sure it does not obstruct the view from your house.
  • This site should ideally be level ground.
  • To keep out direct sunlight and avoid the heat, set up your gazebo in the shade – under a shady tree, perhaps?
  • If privacy is your main concern, locate the structure in a secluded place.
  • Check out local building codes to make sure that you don’t violate them.
  • Make sure that there are no underground utility lines at the construction site.

As for its construction, choose a product crafted from the finest quality hardwood, specially treated for weather-resistant, maintenance-free service. Make sure that the gazebo comes with a sturdy floor with pressure-treated boarding.

Necessary Information Regarding a Storage Shed Purchase

We want to provide our customers with the best products and service possible.  In order to do so, we urge our clients to read the following information about a storage shed or carport purchase.

Survey the land mass where you would like your storage shed situated.  If the ground is not completely leveled then you may experience dissatisfaction.  A labor charge will be implemented if the crew has to do additional work aside from what is agreed upon before the first work day.

Let the work crew know about wires, gas lines, or utility lines that may exist underneath the ground near or on the work area.  Our installers are not responsible for any damages if they are unaware of underground objects and obstacles.

We do instate a return trip fee if our installers return to upgrade your storage shed or carport.  The total cost must be a minimum of $795.00 or there will be a $50.00 return trip fee added.

A deposit is warranted on your storage shed or carport when ordered.  If 100% financing was established then there is no deposit required.

The total balance of your storage shed or carport is required at the time of installation.  If your product is financed, the dealer will address the balance after installation.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, money orders, checks, or cash at the time of installation.

There is no refund policy on storage sheds or carports which are specially ordered.

The frame of your storage shed or carport will be one foot shorter than the roof in length. This is to prevent rain from coming in the end of your product.

We are more than happy to address any questions or concerns for our customers.  Give our customer support number a call at 1 888 620 0004.  We know we can provide you with a quality storage shed or carport that exceeds your expectations!  Thank you for choosing Keen’s.
