How to Choose a Bamboo Gazebo
A bamboo gazebo is an excellent choice because bamboo is exceptionally durable, resistant to the effects of the weather, resistant to insects once properly treated and does not lose its colour as easily as wood. Due to the outstanding properties of bamboo, a bamboo gazebo requires virtually no maintenance yet remains as good as new for a very long time.
Finding the perfect bamboo gazebo for your garden or backyard should not be a problem because they have become increasingly popular in Europe in the recent years. You can choose between many different styles, designs, shapes and sizes in most stores and better yet online where the choice is even better. Due to the fact that bamboo is a traditional construction material in East Asia and the Pacific, most types of bamboo gazebos reflect an exotic Asian character which is great if having an Asian style garden. On the other hand, the traditional bamboo gazebos do not particularly fit into a Victorian or Italian garden. It is possible to find less exotic types of bamboo gazebos as well but it is necessary to take time to do some research and make notes when finding something suitable. Another option is to have it custom made. However, it is very important to hire an expert who knows precisely what you want and how to do it. You are also highly recommended to make sure that the style and design match with your home.
The size is another important factor that should be taken into account when searching for a bamboo gazebo. Like other types of gazebo, bamboo gazebos vary from miniature that primarily serve as garden décor to really large ones that can host a large number of people. Most people decide for medium size with enough room to sit four to ten people. This means that you should seriously consider the purpose of your future gazebo. Do you want it to host your guests or/and throw parties, or a nice roofed place in your garden or backyard to have some peace, relax and enjoy the sight of your garden. Of course, you can go for a larger one just in case if you decide to use it for other purposes later but the larger the gazebo the higher the price. For that reason you should not rush with the purchase of a bamboo gazebo because it would be truly a waste of money to buy a large one to host a party in it once or twice only.
The last but not the least important thing to pay attention to when buying a bamboo gazebo is the quality of manufacture and quality of bamboo. It is one of the strongest and most durable materials available but only a quality bamboo gazebo will serve you well for many years. Higher quality typically also means higher price but considering the durability of bamboo you will actually save money if choosing quality over price like with most things. However, the price does not necessarily indicate the quality and for that reason you are highly recommended to inform yourself very well about different manufacturers/brands and high quality types of bamboo, especially if planning to purchase a larger gazebo.
