In short: White gazebo No. 25-27 is a white-painted wooden gazebo with a mono-pitch roof. On the left, sliding glass wraps around two sides, in the middle there is an enclosed room with a window, and on the right the roof extends into an open shelter. Outside the building is white, while inside the walls and floor are a warm honey color. The size, finishing and equipment are agreed with each customer individually.
A white gazebo that looks like a modern garden pavilion
Many wooden gazebos are honey, walnut or brown in color. This example stands out at once: it is entirely white. The horizontal boards, the corner trim, the rafters under the roof and the post of the shelter are painted white, and the edge of the roof is lined with dark gray sheet metal. This combination creates a clean, contemporary look that resembles a modern pavilion more than a traditional garden gazebo.
A white gazebo suits light houses of modern architecture especially well. If the house is rendered white or light gray, its window frames are dark and its roof is flat or mono-pitch, such a gazebo will look like part of the same project. At the same time it remains wooden: the pattern of the boards and the joints can be seen even through the layer of paint.
The photo was taken on a sunny autumn day. Light gray paving blocks are laid around the gazebo, a young tree with supports has been planted in front, and behind it are a row of thujas and a green mesh enclosure. Tall birches rise in the background. The surroundings are still being created, but the white building already becomes a clear accent of the yard. When the trees and thujas have grown, the white gazebo will stand out even more against the greenery.
The most interesting feature of this gazebo is the contrast between the outside and the inside. Through the glass you can see that inside the walls, the ceiling and the floor are left a warm honey color. From outside the gazebo looks cool and elegant, and when you step inside, the warmth of the wood wraps around you.
Corner glazing and a warm interior
On the left part of the gazebo the sliding glass wraps around two sides, the front and the left. The corner between them is marked by a narrow white post, so it looks as if the panes almost meet. In the middle another large section of sliding glass is set in, made up of several panels in dark gray frames.
Such glazing lets light into the room from two sides and opens a wide view of the yard for those sitting inside. Because the glass slides, it can be opened both at the corner and at the front, so on a warm day the gazebo becomes almost open.
The honey color of the interior looks very cozy through the glass, especially in the evening when the light is turned on inside. The light wooden floor and walls reflect the light, so the room looks spacious even without large windows in the back wall.
In the photo the gazebo is not yet furnished – there is no furniture inside. This lets you judge the real space and imagine your own arrangement: a table with chairs by the glass, a soft corner or a workspace.
Note also how the glass is installed: it reaches almost from the floor to the top of the wall. As a result the interior looks taller, and when you sit at the table you see not only the yard but also the treetops and the sky. Such large panes are especially suitable when the gazebo stands in a beautiful place and there is something to look at.
A mono-pitch roof and exposed rafters
The gazebo is covered by a mono-pitch roof with a large overhang at the front. Under the overhang you can see white exposed rafters, spaced evenly along the whole length and creating a rhythmic pattern. It is not only a structural but also a decorative detail, which gives a contemporary gazebo a feeling of lightness.
The edge of the roof is clad in dark gray sheet metal, which matches the color of the glass frames. The wide overhang protects the front walls and the glass from rain, and in summer it casts shade, so the room heats up less at midday.
A mono-pitch roof also has practical advantages: it is simple, water runs off it to one side, and the surface is easy to inspect and clean. In addition, the low, straight outline of the roof goes well with the architecture of modern houses.
The rafter ends under the overhang are painted white, like the walls, so from below the roof looks light and bright. If the rafters were dark, they would create a strong contrast, but as it is the whole structure looks like one white form with a thin dark roof line on top.
An enclosed room with a window and a shelter on the side
To the right of the glass is an enclosed part clad with white boards. It has a small window in a dark frame. Such a room can be used in different ways: as a storage space for garden furniture and cushions, as a small kitchenette or as a utility room. The window lets in light, so it is not dark inside.
The size and purpose of the room are worth discussing in advance. If garden furniture will be kept there, the door must be wide enough. If you plan a kitchenette, you will need electricity and perhaps water. All of this is easier to provide for during manufacturing than to adapt later.
Farther to the right the roof extends and forms an open shelter. It is held up by a white post with diagonal braces, and under it lie the same paving blocks as around the gazebo. The shelter can serve as a place for a grill, firewood, bicycles or even a car – it depends on the size you agree on when ordering.
In this way three different zones are combined in one structure: a bright glazed relaxation area, an enclosed room for things and an open shelter. It is convenient when a plot has too little space for several separate buildings. If other shelters interest you too, see the section storage sheds, garages and shelters.
Where a white gazebo fits
White works differently in a yard than natural wood. It reflects light, so the structure looks lighter and smaller than it really is. This is useful on small plots, where a large dark gazebo could look too massive. A white background also sets off green plants, flowers and tree trunks beautifully.
A white gazebo is usually chosen in these cases:
- when the house is light, rendered or clad with white boards;
- when the yard already has white elements – a fence, a gate, window frames or terrace railings;
- when you want a garden with a modern, minimalist look;
- when the gazebo will stand in shade and you do not want it to look dark.
Before deciding, it is worth remembering that white requires more care – dirt shows more on it. If trees nearby drop pollen or sap, the walls will have to be washed more often. On the other hand, a white building always looks tidy and fresh if it is washed in time.

Caring for white wood and ordering
White-painted wood needs somewhat different care from wood covered with a clear coating. Dust, pollen and rain splashes show up faster on white boards, so once or twice a year it is worth washing the walls with clean water and a soft brush. Every spring inspect the lower boards and the places next to the paving blocks – where water splashes onto the walls, the layer of paint wears out fastest. If you notice damage, it is worth repainting it in time.
The exposed rafters and the post of the shelter are painted too, so inspect them once a season as well. Under the roof they are protected from direct rain, but dust and cobwebs collect on them, and these are easy to remove with a broom or a brush.
Clean the tracks of the sliding glass of sand, which is easily carried in from the paving blocks. After rainy days, open the glass and air the interior.
On its website Laukbaldis shows only typical examples, so the color, the size and the arrangement of the zones are agreed individually. When ordering, think about whether you need an enclosed room and a shelter, which sides will be glazed and which color will suit the house. For comparison, look at the modern gazebo with a mono-pitch roof and a terrace No. 25-36 and the gazebo with a storage shed No. 25-11.7. You will find more examples in the section wooden gazebos.
