Tips for Installing Outdoor Contemporary Patio Furniture

Contemporary patio furniture ranges from simple lounge chairs to whole gazebos, depending on the size and design of your patio. Gazebos, in particular, are popular additions to a large backyard, and can come in handy when throwing an outdoor party for family and friends. More than that, however, a well-built gazebo has always been associated with romance, and candle light, and is a good place to make a couple of memories with special people.

At its very least though, a gazebo can simply be a nice place to sit in the sun, and at its most extravagant, can house several people at once for an outdoor event—whether you do so under the night sky or in the warmth of a summer day.

Cedar Delite 10' Hexagon Western Red Cedar Gazebo with Exterior Stain Finish by Cedar Delite

Romantic and quaint, the Cedar Delite 10’ Hexagon Western Red Cedar Gazebo with Exterior Stain Finish by Cedar Delite is a prime example of a gazebo that draws attention at a glance. Exuding an almost dreamy quality, the gazebo is the whole package, complete with a roof, posts, and bottom floors. It has a clear shape, featuring a geometric hexagonal design. You can choose the type of panels used to fit the gazebo’s sides—the Wall Panel, Diagonal Lattice Panel, Design Panel, and Square Lattice Panel. If you prefer, you could install a Gazebo Bench inside as well. 

Install a light inside the gazebo with basic electricity tools. A well-lighted gazebo at night is rather attractive to look at, and makes it possible to use the gazebo even after the sun has gone down.

Because gazebos are used out of doors, the material used in their construction is of the utmost importance. Cedar Delite uses Canadian Western Red Cedar, a type of hardwood that has decay resistant properties and is extra durable.  These properties are why most outdoor furniture is made of various types of cedar.

Unlike the hexagonal gazebo, this one does not have paneling on all sides, and features an open space instead of an enclosed one.

Outdoor Great room Company uses douglas fir in the gazebo’s construction. The gazebo has an optional lattice roof, though you will need this if you plan on installing lighting inside the gazebo. The walls are optional as well, providing great versatility on your part.
