You most likely already know what a gazebo is and that it is used for outdoor fun and relaxation. However there are a handful of facts about them that you'll be sure to find surprising. So here are the top five that you'll want to know more about.

Contrary to popular belief not all of them are made to be permanent. Even though most of us think of these structures as only made to stay in one spot there is a type designed for temporary use. A pop up gazebo can be set up just about wherever you have the space and need some shade. These are lightweight, easy to move, and cost a lot less than permanent options.

Installing one in your yard is a smart investment. Even though some structures can be expensive to purchase up front in the end they will be sure to add to the value of your property. This means that you get the benefit of being about to use it for years and then are able to take advantage of the increased market value it provides if you make the decision to sell your home in the future.

There are more material choices than just wood. Long ago wood was the only option, but today there are many more. If do want something classic though, wood is a great choice. If you prefer a modern looking structure be sure to check out metal. And when you want to spend as little as possible vinyl is a superb budget-friendly choice that requires zero maintenance.

They can be customized to your specific needs. There are many different ways you can add to your structure to truly make it your own. To keep out biting insects you can usually install panels with screens. Electricity is also an option which can totally transform how you use your outdoor space. And gazebo curtains will be sure to give you all the shade you need on even the sunniest of days.

You don't need to have it installed by a pro. Today you can save cash on installation by doing it on your own with a kit. Gazebo kits come with everything you need and detailed instructions so that even if you have zero skills you can put it together within a few hours.

These are just a few of the surprises you can expect with a gazebo. For anyone who loves to kick their feet up outdoors, this is one structure you will want to keep on your radar!
