A gazebo can make relaxing in your backyard a paradise!

Looking to buy a gazebo or canopy? You'll face many choices from expensive wooden structures to a variety of designs, materials, and models. Instead of trying to compare all the little details, you need to know what features are going to be the most important. To help you make a decision, here are three great qualities of gazebos and canopies that you should consider.

1. Sturdy Construction

While there are many cheap gazebos and canopies you can buy, you want to choose one with a sturdy construction. Lots of less expensive or poorly made gazebos/canopies have a flimsy base and structure. It's also important that the gazebo or canopy can withstand the hot and humid Nashville weather. If yours is made of wood, it's essential that you apply water and heat resistant coating on it to make sure it lasts a long time. Weather resistant materials will ensure your purchase lasts!

2. Hard Top Metal Roofs

Fabric based gazebos and canopies can absorb the heat and humidity that's common with the Nashville weather. If you want something that protects you and your family from the heat, you want to go with a gazebo or canopy that has a hard metal top. The hard tops are sturdy and the metal roofs reflect the heat so that it stays cool underneath the gazebo or canopy. The metal roofs come in all the standard designs, so don't think that you can't achieve the same look as a wooden roof. And don't worry about the metal reflecting a bright glare as almost all the commercial models are painted over.

3. Netted Gazebo/Canopy

Mosquitos can be a problem in Nashville. If you want to create a space on your property where your friends and family can relax, make sure you choose a gazebo or canopy that has pull out nets. These nets will keep out mosquitoes and other bugs from entering the gazebo or canopy. They'll also ensure that there is plenty of ventilation inside. If you're looking for a larger gazebo that will be a more permanent structure, you can still install ventilated covers for extra protection from the sun and the bugs.

Gazebos and canopies are a big investment, so making sure that you properly maintain it and protect it from the weather is important. SERVPRO of Belle Meade wants you to enjoy your gazebo.
