In short: Gazebo with a terrace and railings No. 25-13.1 is a wooden gazebo with a dark brown finish and a hip roof held up by massive natural trunks. Sliding glass is fitted at the front and on the side, and next to it is a large open terrace bounded on two sides by wooden railings. The size, the shape of the terrace and the color of the finish are agreed individually.
A gazebo with a terrace and railings among modern houses
In the photo the gazebo stands on a green lawn among tall pines and spruces. Behind it you can see modern multi-story residential buildings with facades partly finished in wood, and on the right a segmented metal fence. The gazebo looks like a natural part of its surroundings: the dark wood repeats the wooden accents of the facades, and the trunks recall the pines growing around.
This photo shows that a wooden gazebo with natural trunks suits more than a country farmstead. It goes very well with contemporary architecture too, especially if there are trees and wooden finishing elements around. The dark tone gives the gazebo solidity and elegance.
The day is sunny, the shadows of trees fall on the lawn, and on the left, by the gazebo, small blue flowers are blooming. Such small touches show that the gazebo has already become part of the garden and is not just a structure that has been delivered.
The gazebo and the terrace stand on a raised base that rests on concrete blocks. There is a gap between the floor and the ground, so the wood dries quickly after rain and the grass does not touch the boards.
The glazed part and the terrace face the open side of the lawn, while the trees remain behind the gazebo. This way the terrace gets more light, and the trees form a green backdrop and shelter from the wind. On a hot day you can always retreat under the roof, and on a cool evening slide the glass shut and stay inside.
Next to multi-story buildings the gazebo plays one more role: it creates a more private, cozier space. Behind the glass or on a terrace fenced with railings you feel apart from the surrounding bustle, although the houses are only a few steps away.
A dark tone of wood and a bright setting
All the wood of this gazebo (the trunks, walls, floor and terrace) is covered with a dark brown coating with a warm, reddish tint. In the sun it glows, and in the shade it looks deeper and richer. The natural texture of the wood shows clearly through the coating, so the surface looks alive.
A dark tone has several advantages. It shows small marks and dust less, goes well with green trees and light facades, and in the evening sun takes on a warm, almost copper shade. In addition, a dark gazebo looks more compact, although it is in fact spacious.
The boards of the terrace are dark too, so the terrace and the gazebo look like one structure. If you want a contrast, the terrace can be coated in a lighter tone, but a unified solution, as in the photo, looks calmer and more elegant.
The color is agreed individually, so it can be chosen to suit the facade of the house, the fence or other structures in the yard. Before choosing, it is worth seeing how the dark tone will look in your yard, both in sun and in shade.
Plants look especially beautiful against a dark background. Green pots on the terrace, red pelargoniums or white flowers by the dark railings stand out more than against light wood. This way the gazebo becomes a calm backdrop for the colors of the garden, and every season gives it a different look.
Pairs of trunks and a Y-shaped column
The roof is held up by massive natural trunks. In the left corner two trunks stand side by side, one straighter and the other knobbly, with a small shelf fixed between them. At the front stands a powerful trunk that forks into a Y, with a shelf between its branches. On the right, at the transition to the terrace, are several more winding trunks.
Pairs of trunks in the corners are an interesting solution. They create the impression that the gazebo stands among several trees growing side by side. This look especially suits surroundings where pines and spruces grow, because the gazebo seems to extend the forest around it.
Sliding glass in dark frames is fitted between the trunks. On the front wall it takes up almost the whole width, and on the side a few more sections. The glass reflects the surrounding trees and the sky, so the gazebo looks light even though it is dark.
Natural trunks are different every time, so the trunks of your gazebo will not look exactly the same. When ordering, you can discuss whether you would like pairs of trunks in the corners or a single massive trunk.
The shelves on the trunks are especially handy here. When you are sitting on the terrace, you can put a drink or a phone on them, and in the evening a lantern that lights both the terrace and the inside of the gazebo. Against dark wood the warm light of a lantern looks very cozy.
A terrace with railings on two sides
A large open terrace is built on the right side of the gazebo. It is almost the same size as the gazebo itself, so a table with chairs, sun loungers or several planters fit on it. At the end and on the side of the terrace there are wooden railings of vertical slats with a broad handrail on top.
Railings on two sides create a feeling of an enclosed space. On the terrace you feel safe and cozy, as on a balcony. The other two sides are open, so you can step onto the terrace from the lawn and from the gazebo.
The broad top of the handrail is practical: you can put a cup on it, stand a small pot or simply lean on it as you look out over the garden. The slats are set with gaps, so the railings do not block the view and let air through.
In the corner of the railings stands a sturdy post that joins the two parts of the railing. It looks massive and goes with the trunks, so the whole terrace looks like an integral part of the gazebo and not an addition tacked on.
The boards of the terrace are laid lengthwise, with small gaps through which rainwater drains. The dark coating warms up in the sun, so it is pleasant to sit on the terrace barefoot in the evening.

What to discuss when ordering a gazebo with a terrace and railings
Laukbaldis shows only typical examples, so the sizes of the gazebo and the terrace, the railings and the color are agreed individually. Before you call, it is worth thinking about:
- The size of the terrace. Think about what you will put on it: a table, sun loungers or a barbecue.
- The position of the railings. They can enclose the terrace on one, two or three sides.
- The color of the finish. Dark brown, as in the photo, or a lighter honey shade.
- The glazing. How many walls of the gazebo will be glazed and which way they will face.
- The trunks. Massive, slimmer or pairs of trunks in the corners.
For comparison, take a look at the enclosed gazebo with a terrace and slatted fence No. 25-13 and the gazebo with a terrace, steps and skylights No. 25-5. You will find all the models in the section wooden gazebos, and fences and railings in the section wooden bridges and fences.
The site matters too. It is worth orienting the terrace towards the sunny side, and placing the gazebo so that the most beautiful view opens through the glass. If tall trees grow around, think about how they will cast shade at different times of day.
Care and ordering
A dark coating protects the wood well, but an open terrace and railings are directly exposed to rain, sun and snow. Every spring inspect the boards of the terrace, the tops of the railings and the places where the trunks branch. When the surface turns pale or water no longer beads up, clean it and renew it with a product for exterior wood in the same color, so that the shade stays even.
When the gazebo stands under pines and spruces, needles fall on the roof and the terrace. It is worth sweeping them off regularly and cleaning the gaps between the terrace boards. Clean the tracks of the sliding glass of sand and needles. In winter it is better to sweep the snow off the terrace so that, as it melts, it does not soak the boards for long, and inspect the top of the railings more carefully: water stays longest on it.
