Usually, when something is at its apex, then ends up on the lowest level, it’s an indication that its status has waned drastically. While such a decline can be a bad sign, that’s not so, with the gazebo. Indeed, gazebos started out as rooftop structures that were designed exclusively to provide panoramic views of surrounding areas. It wasn’t until years later that they were built on the ground.

They have since spun their charms across the centuries, throughout the world, and among myriad gardens, from those of ancient royals, to modern-day homeowners. Therefore, their descent was obviously not a falling off in favor. In fact, ironically, they have yet to hit their peak of popularity, as millions more people each year invite gazebos to lend loveliness to their landscapes.

Even a small, plain, rustic-looking gazebo will instantly become a stunning focal point for your garden, especially when it’s covered with colorful, climbing flowers. However, it can do a lot more than to simply stand there, looking beautiful. While it certainly packs more picturesque pulchritude per pound than anything you’d purchase purely to please your peepers, a gazebo is as practical as it is pretty, performing a plethora of premium purposes. Just for starters, its mere presence may increase the value of your property.

Of course, many people fill their gazebos with outdoor furniture and use them as shady, tranquil retreats, where they can relax, read, nap, or just enjoy the sounds and scents of their gardens. Others, who love to entertain, use them for hosting everything from weddings, receptions, and cocktail parties, to family reunions, barbecues, and birthday celebrations.

A gazebo can also be integrated with your deck, and used as a detached porch, reading room, dining room, or breakfast nook, which will be close enough to the house for convenience, but removed far enough to afford privacy. With screens or windows, it can be used year-round.

Clearly, these versatile, attractive, and affordable structures have managed to scale the heights, while remaining firmly on the ground. As a matter of fact, these days, they’re reaching a whole new level, as thousands of people are equipping their gazebos with all of the comforts of home, and turning them into cottages, guest houses, home offices, pool houses, studios, home gyms, and, with hot tubs installed, backyard spas. Undoubtedly, for the gazebo, things have really been looking up, since it came down to earth.
