In short: Furnished gazebo No. 25-18 is an elongated wooden gazebo with a gray hip roof whose whole front is glazed with sliding glass. Inside stand a massive wooden table with chairs, a lamp hangs on the rear wall, and a narrow terrace has room for a small table too. The size, finishing and equipment are agreed with each customer individually.
A gazebo with furniture: how it looks when furnished
Many gazebos are shown in photos empty, just after being built. This example is different: it was photographed already in use. Through the glass you can clearly see how the furniture is arranged inside, how much room is left to walk past and how wooden furniture goes with the wooden walls. This helps you imagine how your gazebo will look not on the day of construction but a few weeks later. That is why a furnished gazebo in a photo is a good reference point for those who are still wondering whether there will be enough room for the whole family.
The gazebo is elongated. The left and right ends are closed, clad with horizontal honey-colored boards, and the whole long front is glazed. In front of the glass stand two profiled columns joined to the beam by diagonal braces. The corner boards and the cornice are painted gray, so they go with the gray roof tiles and clearly frame the warm-colored walls.
The sliding glass is set in dark frames and takes up almost the whole space between the ends. On a hot day it can be slid aside and you can sit at the table as if in an open gazebo, and on a cool evening closed and stay inside. This way the same place suits summer lunches and autumn dinners alike.
The photo was taken on a damp, misty day. Thuja trees are green all around, birches can be seen behind the gazebo, and a path of paving blocks leads to the terrace. Even in such weather the gazebo looks inviting: it is the only warm spot between the gray sky and the greenery.
Wooden furniture behind the glass
Inside, along the long run of glass, stand a table and several massive wooden chairs with tall, shaped backs. They look sturdy and heavy, so it is convenient to keep them in the gazebo all the time: the roof and the glass protect them from the rain. Such furniture goes beautifully with the boards of the walls and with the columns outside: natural wood dominates everywhere.
When furnishing a gazebo, it is important to leave room to push the chairs back and to walk past the table. In the photo you can see that the elongated shape suits this very well: the table stands lengthwise, and a passage remains between it and the glass. With the glass open, you can reach the table from the terrace side too.
Laukbaldis 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 individual. Such furniture can be ordered together with the gazebo and its size matched to the interior at once. You will find examples in the section oak garden and outdoor furniture.
When planning furniture, think about how you will mostly use the gazebo. If family celebrations will be held here, you will need a long table and many seats. If the gazebo is meant for relaxing, a few armchairs and a low table are enough, and the rest of the space can be left free. Another option is a table at one end and a soft corner at the other. An elongated gazebo suits this division best, because both zones have their own place and do not get in each other’s way.
A lamp and an ornament on the rear wall
At the right end, on the closed wall, a dark wall lamp is fixed, and under it a small decorative ornament. It is a detail, but it says a lot about how the gazebo is used: in the evening the lamp lights the terrace and the entrance, while the interior stays cozy.
It is best to plan the electrical installation before the gazebo is made. When ordering, it is worth saying where you would like lamps and sockets, from which side the cable will come and whether the terrace needs lighting. Then everything is planned in advance, and the walls will not have to be drilled later. Think also about whether you will want to plug in a kettle, a coffee machine or a music speaker in the gazebo: that determines how many sockets you need and where they are most conveniently placed. Laukbaldis also makes lamps, so this decision can be discussed in the same conversation, and you will find examples in the section wooden lamps, shelves and cabinets.
The details of the photo in one table
A short summary will help you quickly compare this example with other gazebos in the series.
| Feature | In the photo |
|---|---|
| Hip roof with gray tiles | Yes |
| Sliding glass across the whole front | Yes |
| Closed ends of horizontal boards | Yes, both |
| Profiled columns with braces | Yes, two |
| Wooden table and chairs inside | Yes |
| Wall lamp | Yes, on the right end |
| Narrow wooden terrace | Yes, along the front |
A narrow terrace with room for a small table
A wooden terrace of crosswise boards runs along the whole front. It is not wide, but at the right end, by the lamp, a folding yellow table with a chair has been put on it. This shows that even a narrow terrace comes in handy: you can drink coffee here on a sunny morning when it is still cool inside, or put your things down before going in.
The terrace is raised slightly above the ground, and paving blocks are laid up to it. Such a transition is convenient: from the path you step straight up onto the boards, and your shoes stay cleaner. The front edge of the base is finished with a board, so the foundation cannot be seen under the terrace.
A narrow terrace is easy to look after: it is quickly swept, and after rain the boards dry in a few hours, because the wind blows over them from all sides. To keep the boards beautiful longer, do not leave planters without saucers or wet mats on them for long.
If you plan to sit outdoors often, the terrace can be made wider or extended round the corner. See how this was solved in the gazebo with a terrace deck No. 25-11.6 and the gazebo with a terrace and steps No. 25-5.
A place among thuja and birches
The gazebo stands in a garden surrounded by greenery. On the left and at the front it is ringed by rows of thuja, which are still low for the time being but will grow in a few years and become a green wall. Then the gazebo will look like a separate garden room, hidden from the neighbors and the street. Tall birches grow behind it, which cast a light shade in summer but do not block the light for the whole day.
A path of paving blocks leads to the gazebo. This is a very practical solution: on a rainy day you do not have to wade through wet grass, and in the evening, returning to the house, the path is clearly visible. If the gazebo will stand further from the house, it is worth planning the path at once, together with the electric cable, because both usually run in the same direction.
When choosing a place on your plot, pay attention to a few things:
- the base must be dry and level: in a hollow where water collects, the terrace and the lower beams will stay damp for longer;
- it is best to turn the glass towards the part of the garden that is the most beautiful and where most goes on;
- it is worth turning the closed ends towards the prevailing wind or the neighbors;
- under tall trees leaves will fall on the roof, so the roof will need cleaning more often.
Before you call: what to prepare
On its website Laukbaldis shows only typical examples, and the size, finishing and equipment are always agreed individually. To make the conversation useful, prepare:
- A list of furniture. Do you have furniture you want to move into the gazebo, or will you need new? If you do, measure the length and width of the table.
- The number of people. How many people will usually sit at the table, and how many at celebrations.
- Lighting wishes. Where you want lamps inside and outside.
- Colors. Whether the gray roof and corners suit you or another combination is better.
- Photos of the place. They help to see how the gazebo will look in your yard.
Caring for the gazebo is simple. In spring inspect the terrace and the walls, renew the coating on the exterior wood if necessary, and clean the tracks of the sliding glass of leaves and sand. It is also worth checking the wooden furniture inside once a season and, if necessary, treating it with oil: under a roof it lasts far longer than in an open yard.
