Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most common gazebo size?

The most popular gazebo sizes are 10'x12' and 12'x12'. These sizes are versatile enough for a small dining set or a comfortable seating area without overwhelming most backyards.

How much space should I leave around my gazebo?

It's recommended to have at least 2-3 feet of clear, level space around all sides of your gazebo. This provides room for walking, maintenance, and ensures it doesn't feel cramped in your yard.

What size gazebo do I need for a hot tub?

For an average 4-6 person hot tub (around 7-8 feet wide), a 10'x10' gazebo is often the minimum. However, a 12'x12' is highly recommended to provide comfortable space for entry, exit, and placing towels or drinks.

Should I choose a square, rectangular, or octagonal gazebo?

Rectangular gazebos are best for dining sets. Square and octagonal shapes are ideal for conversational seating areas or hot tubs. The choice often depends on your primary use and the shape of your yard or patio.
