Do you want to create an inviting outdoor living room that also provides shelter for guests? This 10×12 hardtop gazebo can quickly turn a bring deck or patio into a fun entertaining space that you can enjoy day or night.
Gazebo Advantages: Why Get One?
Sure, you can set up an outdoor sofa set or dining table and create an outdoor living room. However, an overhead structure completely transforms the space.
Not only can it shield you from weather elements like UV rays and rain, a gazebo or pergola can make the space feel more cozy. Plus, the curtains can add some privacy when you want it.
Hardtop Gazebos VS Soft Top Canopies:
Compared to pergolas with fabric canopies, hardtop gazebos provide more stability in windy conditions. In addition, this model has reinforced columns and ground stakes for extra support.
Plus, the elevated roof makes the area feel more spacious and elegant, even when curtains are closed. Bring resort-style life back to your own backyard!
How to Entertain at Night Under Your Hard Top Gazebo:
Not to mention, the support posts and beams provide an easy way to hang lights for nighttime entertaining. You can string lights around the perimeter for a festive look and low-light ambiance.
On the other hand (or in addition), the gazebo comes with a built-in ceiling hook. Therefore, you can easily hang an outdoor chandelier to bring more light to the space.
I like this battery-operated candle chandelier because it doesn’t require an electrical outlet. So, you don’t have to worry about loose wires or cords.
Just turn the candles on or off using the included remote control. You can enjoy either a flickering flame or a steady light without the fire hazard.
Plus, the decorative lamp looks aesthetically pleasing day or night.
Note: This gazebo has a “double track system” that enables you hang 2 layers of curtains. The package includes 4 mosquito netting panels with zippers, so you can secure them to each other on all sides. You also get the privacy curtains too.
Entertain Outdoors in All Sorts of Weather Under this Gazebo:
With the hard-paneled top and curtains on four sides, you can entertain outdoors in optimal comfort. In other words, this gazebo will protect you from rain, wind, sun and bugs, making your outdoor room more enjoyable – in virtually any weather.
That said, you’ll want to remove the rooftop panels in cold winter weather, since they aren’t designed to support the weight of a heavy snowfall.
For faster assembly, the manufacturer recommends recruiting a few friends to help. Plus, you’ll want a couple of ladders (due to the tall height of the structure) and some gloves.
