Types of materials used at our wooden gazebos
Our gazebos are built using a selection of premium materials, each chosen for its unique qualities to ensure longevity, aesthetic appeal, and structural integrity. Choose between either a Larch wooden gazebo or a pressure treated timber gazebo.
Larch timber
Larch gazebos are renowned for their exceptional durability and natural beauty. Larch wood, known for its rich golden hue and striking grain patterns, offers remarkable resistance to decay and insect damage, making it an ideal choice for outdoor structures. Its high density and strength ensure that larch gazebos can withstand various weather conditions while maintaining their stunning appearance over time.
Pressure treated timber
Pressure treated gazebos offer an excellent combination of longevity and low maintenance. By infusing the wood with protective preservatives, pressure treatment enhances the wood's resistance to rot, fungi, and insect infestations. This process extends the lifespan of the gazebo, ensuring it remains a sturdy and attractive feature in your garden for many years.
Maintenance and care of your wooden Gazebos
With any timber structure, regular care and maintenance is necessary for the longevity of your wooden gazebo.
Cleaning advice and recommended tools
Begin by clearing the area of garden furniture and decorations to access all surfaces easily. Use a soft-bristled brush or broom to remove loose debris like leaves and cobwebs from the roof, walls, and flooring. Prepare a cleaning solution using mild detergent or a recommended cleaner diluted in water. With a soft sponge or cloth, gently scrub the gazebo surfaces, focusing on stains, bird droppings, or mildew spots. Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove all traces of soap or cleaner.
Repairings
Depending on the type of damage, gather the necessary materials and tools, such as wood glue, screws, paint or stain, sandpaper, and replacement parts if needed. For wooden gazebos, start by addressing any structural issues by repairing or replacing damaged beams or panels. Sand down rough edges and apply wood filler to fill in cracks or holes, followed by sanding again for a smooth finish.

Wood is not durable enough Our high-quality wooden gazebos made from durable woods like larch or pressure-treated pine can last for many years with proper care. These woods are naturally resistant to decay and insects. Regular maintenance, such as staining and sealing, enhances their longevity.
Gazebos Are High Maintenance While wooden gazebos do require some maintenance, modern treatments and finishes can significantly reduce the effort needed. Annual inspections, occasional cleaning, and periodic re-sealing or staining can keep a wooden gazebo in excellent condition.
