What is a Canopy Gazebo?
A canopy gazebo might be just what you need to enhance your garden. A gazebo can provide a nice shady area to your yard or garden, or simply serve as a quiet place to relax. A canopy gazebo can actually refer to one of many types of gazebos that are available. The common factor, being the top portion of the gazebo that forms a canopy.
The canopy can be made of a variety of materials but more commonly, it is made of a canvas or polyvinyl material. You might find references to a particular style such as, a pop up gazebo, garden gazebo, fabric gazebo or a canvas gazebo. All of these types have basically a frame and a top canopy. Some varieties come with side walls and some come with only mosquito netting.
The side walls are usually a white polyvinyl canvas that can be attached by velcro strips to keep it from blowing off. There are also velcro strips along the side of the canvas panel to attach it on the four side post of the gazebo. You might purchase a gazebo that has colored netting, or mosquito netting that attached to the framework of the gazebo. When you use the netting, you will not be using the canvas side walls that come with your gazebo.
If you purchase a gazebo as the one pictured below, it most likely will only come with matching netting, since the gazebo cover is a light brown material. You will find many different choices of fabrics and materials when you start your shopping quest for a gazebo. The netting is a great feature of the canopy gazebo as it will allow you to entertain outdoors without the hassle of insects bothering you. Outdoor gazebos can be adorned with gazebo lights that will also accent the gazebo when entertaining at night.

A canopy gazebo, of the pop up variety, comes in many sizes ranging from small to large. Here is a list of the ones that I have found available for purchase.
Beginning small and progressing to the larger sizes, we find a 5x5, 8x8, 10x10, 12x12, 13x13, 14x14, 10x15, 10x20, 12x20, 10x27, 18x20 and 18x27ft. You will need to measure the area that you plan to put your gazebo to see how much area you will have to devote to the structure itself.
Most canopies come in almond or green. It is possible to find additional colors, but this option is not widely available and tends to be offered in only certain types of gazebos, such as the pop up gazebo. Many accessories can also be purchased to enhance your garden gazebo or to repair it should it need repairing. A Gazebo Replacement Canopy can be purchased if your canopy becomes damaged or is in need of painting, repair or replacing.
