   Do you have a gazebo on your property?
   
   If so, did you build it yourself, hire someone else to build it, or have a ready made one delivered to your property?

   No, I do not, but I would love to have one here where we live now, as it would just be so perfect on this property.  I have always loved gazebos.

      Me too. In the meantime, I utilize the ones in parks and on the boardwalks at the ocean.

   We have a gazebo near our pool. It was here when we bought the house. The previous owners built it themselves.

   No, though I would love to get one someday.  I would need to wait for the kids to get a little older.  They are pretty hard on stuff at these ages.

      I would love to have one on my property also. I've always been attracted to gazebos and love to photograph them and sit inside ones that are in public places.

      Sounds like you have a great son-in-law. As beautiful as the gazebo will be, I'm sure it will mean all the more to you that it was crafted by his own hands.
      Hope you write a hub about it when it's completed.

   No. But, it is something I envision putting on my retirement property that is currently in slow development. I'm thinking I want it to be ready made and delivered to the property. My husband, of course wants to build it from scratch. We shall see.

      Sounds like you could write a great hub about it, either way you choose to go. Good luck with your dream retirement property and plans.

   Gazebos are so nice! We don't have a permanent structure but rather a H/D  metal frame w/ a tiered fabric top and curtained sides. We use it as an outdoor room and watch movies on summer nights. We assembled it ourselves and can put the curtained sides away as the weather gets nasty.

      Wow. That sounds like an inexpensive, practical and pretty alternative to a permanent gazebo. Thanks for sharing.

      I'll do ya one better. Same thing at my house. Lost the fabric top. Planted wisteria around four corners and it totally filled in with a bit of coersion. Spectacular!  Get tons of compliments on my masterpiece of a sitting area.  Put lights all over.

      Hi Rutley,  That sounds beautiful! Great tip! We had to order a replacement canopy after 3 years. Our seating area in the far back of our yard is too near an avocado tree, and tt sheds leaves constantly. I may use your idea when we move. Thanks.

      Rutley,
      Thanks for contributing another cool idea. Have you done a hub about your Wisteria covered gazebo? It really does sound spectacular.

   Yes, in the apartment complex and it's completely useless...other than something around which the lawn mower has to drive.
