In short: Glazed gazebo No. 25-23 is a wooden gazebo with a room glazed with sliding glass in the center, surrounded by a covered terrace with profiled columns under a wide burgundy hip roof. Gutters run along the edges of the roof, so rainwater does not run onto the terrace. The size, finishing and equipment are agreed with each customer individually.
A glazed gazebo wrapped in a covered terrace
In many gazebos the terrace is on one side only, in front of the entrance. In this example the roof extends far beyond the glass, so the covered terrace wraps around the room on several sides. From a distance the gazebo resembles a small house with a gallery: an enclosed, bright space in the center and a wooden walkway under the roof around it.
Such a solution gives you a lot of freedom. In the glass room you can sit through rain and wind, while on the terrace you can walk, or sit in the sun or in the shade, depending on the time of day. In the morning the sun lights one side of the terrace, in the evening the other, so you can always find a spot you like. Even in heavy rain the terrace boards stay dry, because the roof covers them across the full width.
In the photo the gazebo is still completely new: freshly dug soil around it, young beds in wooden boxes, a few newly planted fruit trees. In the background you can see the street, the neighbors’ houses and a fence with brick posts. In such a young yard the gazebo immediately becomes the central spot around which the whole garden will later take shape.
A glazed gazebo with a terrace like this suits those who want not only to sit but also to move around, to host many guests or to hold celebrations. Some guests stay at the table inside, others chat on the terrace, children run around, and all of them are under one roof.
The glass room and the wooden gallery around it
The glazed room in the middle of the gazebo has two glazed sides, the front and the left side. The sliding glass is set in dark frames and takes up almost the whole wall area, so you can clearly see the wooden interior walls and the floor through it. On the right the room is closed and clad with horizontal boards.
The terrace floor is made of wide boards and runs at the same level as the floor of the room. This is convenient: with the glass opened, the interior and the terrace merge into one space with no thresholds, so it is easy to carry a table or chairs outside. The edge of the terrace is finished with a board, and beneath it you can see that the whole structure is raised above the ground.
Through the glass you can see that the room is still empty, with no furniture or equipment. This lets you judge its real space: light wooden walls, an even floor and plenty of light from two sides. How to furnish it is up to the customer. It could become a dining room, a lounge or even a summer office.
The covered terrace around the glass has one more benefit that people rarely think about. The wide roof overhang blocks the high summer sun, so the glass is not heated directly at midday and the room warms up less. In spring and autumn, when the sun is lower, its rays reach the glass again and warm the interior. In this way the roof regulates light and heat naturally, without any curtains.
Columns with carved profiling and braces
The wide roof is held up by several large profiled columns placed at the corners of the terrace and along its edges. In the middle and at the bottom of each column narrower sections are carved, so a heavy square timber looks like a turned post. At the top the columns are joined to the beams by diagonal braces, which strengthen the structure and give it a classic look.
The columns and the terrace are covered with a rich reddish-brown finish that goes well with the burgundy roof. Thanks to this combination the gazebo looks warm and unified, while the lighter wood of the glass room stands out inside as a separate accent.
Because the columns stand at the edge of the terrace, they do not get in the way of walking and sitting. Between them you can hang flower pots, lanterns or even a hammock, if the spacing and strength of the columns allow it. It is worth discussing such things when ordering.
The shape of the columns can also be changed. Some customers choose profiled timbers like these, others prefer natural tree trunks with the stubs of branches left on. Both options can be seen in Laukbaldis work, and which one suits your yard depends on the style of the house and your personal taste.
Gutters that protect the terrace
One of the less noticeable but very useful details of this gazebo is the gutters. They run along the whole edge of the roof and are the same burgundy color as the roofing, so they are barely visible. The gutters collect rainwater and carry it to the place you choose.
When a gazebo has a wide covered terrace, gutters are especially important. Without them the water falls from the roof right next to the edge of the terrace, splashes onto the boards and the bottoms of the columns, and washes out the soil around the gazebo. With gutters the terrace and columns stay drier, the wood gets less damp and keeps its good looks longer.
The collected water can be directed into a rain barrel and used to water the garden. For nearby beds this would be an excellent solution, because rainwater suits plants better than cold water from a well. It is worth thinking in advance about where the water will be directed, together with the location of the gazebo.
In this example the gutters are chosen to match the roof, so they do not stand out or spoil the overall look. When ordering you can also discuss a different solution, for example gutters matching the downpipes of the house. The most important thing is to have them wherever water could fall onto the terrace or the paths.

What to think through before ordering a glazed gazebo with a terrace
On its website Laukbaldis shows only typical examples, so the size of the gazebo, the width of the terrace and the arrangement of the glass are always agreed individually. To make the conversation concrete, think about the following:
- How much space the whole structure will take. A terrace around the glass adds considerably to the total area, so measure how much room you have.
- On which sides you will need a terrace. It can wrap around the room on all sides or on only two or three.
- Which sides will be glazed. In the photo two sides are glazed and the right part is closed.
- Where the water will run. Discuss the locations of gutters and downpipes.
- Colors. A burgundy roof and reddish-brown wood are only one possible combination.
Also think about which way to face the glass. If it looks out on the garden or the beds, you will see through it how what you have planted grows. It is worth turning the closed part of the room toward the street or the neighbors, so that it is cozier inside, while the terrace stays open on all sides.
You will find similar solutions in other works: the gazebo with a covered terrace and profiled columns No. 25-2 and the gazebo with a terrace all around No. 25-4. You will find the full selection in the section wooden gazebos, and furniture for the terrace and the interior in the section oak garden and outdoor furniture.
Care and ordering No. 25-23
A covered terrace is better protected from rain than an open one, but slanting rain and snow still reach its edges and the bottoms of the columns. Inspect these places every spring and, if the coating has faded, renew it with a product made for exterior wood. In autumn clear the gutters of leaves so that water runs off freely.
Clean the tracks of the sliding glass of sand and dust. In a young yard, while the lawn has not yet grown, there will be more of it. After rainy days, open the glass and air the room.
In winter snow can build up in a thick layer on a wide roof, so it is worth checking it after heavy snowfalls. It is better to sweep snow off the terrace than to let it melt on the boards, and ice that has formed in the gutters is best left to melt on its own, without hacking at it.

Frequently asked questions
How does a glazed gazebo with a covered terrace differ from an ordinary one?
In such a gazebo the roof covers not only the glass room but also the terrace around it. So you can be both inside and outside under the roof, and the terrace stays dry even in rain.
Can the terrace wrap around the gazebo on all sides?
Yes, the width of the terrace and the sides it runs along are agreed when you order. It is important to measure in advance how much space the whole structure will take on your plot.
What are the gutters on a gazebo for?
Gutters collect rainwater from the roof and stop it splashing onto the terrace and the columns. This way the wood gets less damp, and the soil around the gazebo is not washed out.
Is the gazebo sold with furniture?
The room in the photo is empty. You can choose furniture yourself or order the oak garden furniture made by Laukbaldis.
Can I choose a different roof color?
Yes, a burgundy roof and reddish-brown wood are only one option. The colors of the roofing and the wood can be matched to your house and the other buildings in the yard.
