In short: Gazebo with glass No. 25-16 is a rectangular wooden gazebo with a red-brown hip roof, sliding glass walls and a terrace that wraps around the structure at the front and on the right side. The left side is closed, while the front and the right side open up through large panes of glass. The size, finishing and equipment are agreed with each customer individually.
A gazebo with glass that opens onto a flower bed
The photo was taken in midsummer: red roses are blooming in the foreground, on the right rises a blue spruce, and behind it a flower bed turns yellow. This setting shows well what this gazebo with glass is for: from inside you can see the garden, not just the yard fence. The large planes of glass hardly obstruct the view, so even with the glass closed it feels as if you are sitting surrounded by flowers.
The left part of the structure is closed: the side wall and a narrow strip of the front are clad with horizontal honey-colored boards. Thanks to this closed corner the gazebo looks cozier: inside there is something to put a cabinet, a shelf or a sofa against, while on the other side plenty of light remains. This combination is convenient when there is a street or the neighbors’ plot at the edge of the yard and you want one side to be less visible.
At the front are four sliding glass sections in dark frames. They take up most of the facade, and the other glass walls on the right are set slightly back from the edge of the roof. Between them and the edge of the terrace stand profiled columns, so on the right a shelter forms where you can stand under the roof without going inside.
Such a gazebo is useful not only in summer. In early spring, when the sun already warms but the wind is still raw, closed glass holds back the wind, and the light that comes through quickly warms the interior. In autumn you can spend evenings here for as long as it is not yet cold outside, and on a rainy day watch the rain fall on the roses without getting wet. In this way you spend far more days a year in the garden than in an open gazebo.
What you will notice when you look at the photo more closely
In this table we have listed the details that can be clearly seen in the photo. It will help you compare this example with other works in the same series.
| Feature | In the photo |
|---|---|
| Hip roof with red-brown tiles | Yes |
| Sliding glass in dark frames | Yes, at the front and on the right |
| Closed wooden wall | Yes, on the left side |
| Profiled columns with diagonal braces | Yes |
| Wooden terrace around the glass | Yes, on two sides |
| Furniture inside | No, the interior is empty |
The columns are not simple square posts. Their middle sections are worked so that carved cuts and steps appear, and at the top two diagonal braces join each column to the beam. From a distance they resemble the letter Y and visually strengthen the structure. The light cornice edging under the edge of the roof emphasizs the outline of the structure and stands out nicely against the darker roof covering.
A terrace in two directions: where to stand and where to sit
The wooden terrace runs along the whole front and turns the corner to the right. At the front it is narrower and looks more like a wide threshold before the glass, while on the right, under the roof, it is wider. The floorboards are laid parallel to the wall, and the edge of the terrace is raised off the ground on supports, so rainwater easily runs off it onto the lawn.
In practice this means that the gazebo has two different spaces:
- an enclosed, glazed room, where you can sit on a windy evening or when it rains;
- a shelter under the edge of the roof, where it is handy to put a couple of chairs, planters or leave your shoes before going in.
On a summer day, when the glass is slid aside, the two spaces merge into one. Then the gazebo becomes open and the terrace a natural part of it. This solution is especially handy when there are more guests than seats at the table: some people stay inside, others chat on the terrace, and nobody feels cut off.
The boards of the terrace in the photo are the same warm color as the walls, so the whole structure looks unified. If children or pets run around the yard, the terrace also protects the floor inside: sand and grass stay outside and not on the floor of the room.
An empty interior: freedom to furnish it your own way
Through the glass you can see that the gazebo was photographed still unfurnished: inside there are only a wooden floor and walls. It is useful to see this, because you can tell at once how much room is left for furniture. Such gazebos are usually furnished in one of several ways:
- a large table with benches for family dinners;
- soft armchairs and a low coffee table for quiet relaxation;
- a work corner by the closed wall, with the rest left free.
Laukbaldis also makes solid oak garden furniture. It is made by experienced craftsmen, and the branches, growth rings and natural curves of the wood make every piece different. If you want the furniture to match the gazebo, it can be discussed in the same conversation. You will find examples of tables, benches and chairs in the section oak garden and outdoor furniture.
When furnishing, it is worth thinking about lighting too. In the evening, when a light is on inside, a glazed gazebo glows in the garden like a lantern, so it is better to plan the position of the lamp in advance, while the other decisions are still being agreed.
The color of the roof and the shade of the wood: how to match them with the house
The red-brown tiles in the photo go well with the warm honey color of the walls and with the red roses. If the roof of your house is also red or brown, this gazebo with glass will look like part of the same ensemble. If the house is gray or white, a darker covering in graphite or brown is often chosen, and a different shade for the wood.
A hip roof has a practical advantage too: water runs off it evenly in all four directions, and the edges of the roof project beyond the walls and protect them from rain. The larger the overhang, the less water gets onto the terrace and the glass.
It is worth matching the colors not only to the house but also to the other structures in the yard: the shed, the fence, the woodshed. When ordering, you can say which shades already exist in your yard and choose the most suitable ones together.
Pay attention to the color of the glass frames too. In the photo they are dark, almost black, so the glass planes look like uniform dark windows, and the light wood around them stands out even more. Lighter frames would create a different, airier look, so this choice is also worth discussing in advance.
What to check before ordering a gazebo with glass
The website shows only typical examples, and the size, finishing and equipment are agreed individually. To keep the conversation short and specific, prepare answers to a few questions:
- How many people will sit inside? The length and width of the gazebo depend on it.
- Which side will be closed? In the photo the left side is closed. On your plot it is worth turning it towards the street, the neighbors or the direction the wind most often blows from.
- How wide a terrace do you need? A narrow terrace is good for walking along, a wider one for putting out chairs.
- Will you need electricity? It is easiest to plan lamps, sockets and the cable route before production.
- What will the gazebo stand on? The base must be level and dry.
Choose a place from which the most beautiful part of the garden can be seen. In the photo the glass faces the flower bed and the lawn, and the closed wall faces the street. Avoid low spots where water collects after rain, and places too close to growing trees, from which leaves and branches will fall on the roof.
Before you decide, take a look at other similar works too: the gazebo with glass among fruit trees No. 25-1, the gazebo with a red roof No. 25-11.4 and the gazebo with profiled columns No. 25-12. You will find the whole selection in the section wooden gazebos.
Care through the season and ordering
Wood outdoors is harmed most by moisture that lingers and by the sun’s rays. The boards of the terrace, which the rain and sun reach most, are worth inspecting every spring and, if necessary, renewing with an oil or stain made for exterior wood. The walls under the roof overhang wear more slowly, but they too should be checked, especially on the south side.
The tracks of the sliding glass are full of leaves, sand and needles after autumn and winter, and a nearby spruce only speeds this up. Once the tracks are cleaned, the glass slides easily again. In winter it is worth sweeping the snow off the terrace so that it does not melt on the boards for weeks.

Frequently asked questions
Can this gazebo with glass be made without a closed wall?
Yes, which sides will be glazed and which closed is agreed when you order. In the photo the left side is closed, but that is only a typical example.
What is the terrace next to the glass for?
The terrace lets you stand under the roof without going inside, and put out a chair or a planter. When the glass is slid open it merges with the interior and the gazebo becomes open.
What roof covering can be seen in the photo?
The hip roof is covered with red-brown tiles. The color of the covering can be chosen to suit the roof of your house or the other structures in the yard.
Is the gazebo sold with furniture?
The interior in the photo is empty. You can furnish it yourself or order oak garden furniture, which Laukbaldis also makes.
Can a glazed gazebo be used in spring and autumn?
Yes, closed glass holds back the wind and slanting rain, and the roof protects from above. That is why such a gazebo is used longer than an open one, especially on cooler spring and autumn evenings.
