In short: Modern gazebo with glass No. 25-50 consists of two linked sections that are slightly offset from one another. Both sections have flat roofs, wide glass walls and a wooden facade of horizontal boards, and the whole structure is raised above the ground on posts. The size, finishing and equipment are agreed with each customer individually.
Not one box but two linked spaces
A gazebo is most often seen as a single small structure with a roof and a few walls. This example takes a different approach. On the left stands a larger, longer section, and on the right a smaller one joins it, set slightly back. The roofs of the two sections are at different heights, so the facade has a rhythm and does not look like one long, monotonous block.
This solution makes practical sense too. Two spaces let you do different things at the same time: one section can host a meal or a gathering, the other a quiet conversation, rest or work. When more people come, the two sections become one large space, and with a smaller group you can use just the one you need.
The photo shows that in the larger section the front wall is almost entirely glass, divided by a vertical wooden post into two groups of panels. The front of the smaller section also has a wide glass wall, and its side is covered with boards.
The photo was taken in a forest clearing where pines and birches meet. A drooping spruce branch intrudes into the frame from the right, and around the gazebo you can still see recently landscaped ground and meadow grass. In a place like this, large glass walls pay off especially well: sitting inside, you feel as if the forest continues behind the glass, and the gazebo becomes a kind of observation pavilion. Early autumn light, filtering through the birch leaves, passes through the glass and tints the wooden floor in warm shades.
A modern gazebo with glass and a flat roof
The gazebo looks modern first of all because of the shape of its roof. Both roofs are flat, with almost no slope, and their edges are framed by a dark brown eaves trim. The roof projects slightly beyond the walls, which creates a narrow strip above the glass that protects the frames from direct rain.
The walls are built of horizontal boards and stained a warm brown, through which the grain of the wood is clearly visible. Wider vertical trim is fitted in the corners and around the glass openings. As a result the whole facade looks neat and strict, but the wood gives it warmth. It is not an office of glass and metal but a wooden garden building.
The glass frames are dark and narrow, and they do not obstruct the view. Through the front glass walls you can see right through the whole room: the wooden floor, the light board walls and two wide windows in the rear wall, through which the forest opens up. In the larger section there is one more window in the left wall, so light comes in from several sides.
The interior walls are left lighter than the facade, so the room does not look dark even on an overcast day. This contrast between the brown exterior and the light interior is easy to see in the photo: from outside the structure looks solid and calm, and when you look through the glass a spacious, bright room opens up. There are no partitions in the larger section, so furniture can be arranged freely, for example by placing a long table along the rear windows. In the smaller section you can see an upright wooden post through the glass, a reminder that each section has its own character and can be furnished differently.
Posts instead of a continuous foundation
An interesting detail is the base. The whole gazebo stands on round posts that rise above the ground, leaving a free gap under the floor. A base like this is especially suitable for a natural setting, where the ground is not always level and you want to dig as little as possible. The posts separate the wooden structure from the ground, so air can circulate under the floor.
It is important to know that the choice of foundation always depends on the particular plot, the soil and the size of the building. The version in the photo is only one of the possible ones, so it is worth discussing it during the call.
A raised base has one more advantage: the floor does not touch wet grass, dew or spring meltwater. The distance between the ground and the floor also makes it easier to inspect the structure underneath. If the plot slopes, the posts can differ in height, and the gazebo will still stand level.

Who such a spacious glazed gazebo suits
Thanks to its size and light, this gazebo can serve more functions than an ordinary garden gazebo. A few examples of how it can be used:
- A place to gather. A long table or several tables fit under the roof, and the glass walls protect from wind and rain when a party runs into the evening.
- A space for activities. A bright, empty room with a view of the forest suits exercise, creative workshops or conversations in a small group.
- A summer workroom. In the smaller section you can set up a quiet corner with a desk, where you can work in the fresh air but under a roof.
- A relaxation zone at a homestead. The larger section can become a living room under the open sky, and the smaller one a place to rest or to keep seasonal things.
The modern shape goes well with a contemporary house and with a forest setting, where simple lines do not compete with nature. The wooden facade helps the building blend into its surroundings, and the glass lets you see the trees from inside as in a picture.
You can furnish the interior with furniture made of natural wood too. Laukbaldis makes garden furniture from solid oak, created by experienced craftsmen, and the knots, grain and natural curve of the wood make each piece unique. Such furniture looks good next to flat glass planes.
What to think about when ordering a larger modern gazebo
The website shows only typical examples, so this structure can be changed to suit your needs. Before calling, it is worth thinking about the following:
- The ratio of the sections. Which section will be larger, and whether they will be joined by a wide opening or separated by a partition.
- The amount of glass. A lot of glass means a lot of light, but in a sunny spot it is worth keeping the option to open the glass in summer and air the room.
- Windows at the back. Windows in the rear wall create cross light and a view in both directions. Their size and position can be adapted to your plot.
- The base. Posts suit an uneven or natural plot, but the final solution depends on the soil.
- Color. The brown shade in the photo goes well with pine trunks, but another color may suit a house.
For comparison, take a look at the modern gazebo with a monopitch roof and a terrace No. 25-36, the white gazebo with a monopitch roof No. 25-27 and the gazebo with a stove on piles No. 25-24. You will find all the works in the section wooden gazebos, and more enclosed buildings for overnight stays in the section saunas and summerhouses.
Care in a forest setting and ordering
A building that stands in a forest or at its edge has concerns of its own. Needles, leaves and twigs collect on a flat roof, so it is worth inspecting it several times a year and clearing it so that water runs off freely. In the shade of trees the wood dries more slowly, so the lower part of the walls and the edges of the floor need a closer look.
A protective coating made for the purpose shields exterior wood from moisture and sun. When the surface turns pale or starts to absorb water, the coating should be renewed. Large panes are best washed with ordinary window cleaners, and the tracks of the sliding sections should be cleaned regularly of needles and sand.
Wind sometimes blows leaves or twigs under the raised floor, so once a season it is worth looking there too: free air movement helps the wood stay dry. If the gazebo stands close to trees, trim the branches that touch the roof or the walls. That way less moisture and debris will get onto the building, and the glass will stay clean longer.

Frequently asked questions
How does this gazebo differ from an ordinary garden gazebo?
It consists of two linked sections, offset from one another, with flat roofs. That makes it more spacious and lets you use two different zones at the same time.
Can the gazebo be ordered with only one section?
Yes, the photo shows only a typical example. The number, size and layout of the sections are agreed when you order, because everything is arranged individually.
Why does the gazebo stand on posts?
The posts raise the wooden structure above the ground, so air can circulate under the floor. The foundation solution depends on the plot and the soil, so it is discussed separately.
How do I look after a flat roof?
Several times a year clear off the accumulated needles, leaves and twigs. That way water runs off freely and the roof stays in good condition longer.
Is there furniture inside?
The interior in the photo is empty, so you can furnish it to suit your needs. Laukbaldis also makes solid oak garden furniture.
