This gazebo is forged in top quality wrought-iron that has been galvanized with zinc to prevent rust and oxidation and then powder-coated in a durable textured colored finish. The design of these structures is clean and simple. Much attention is paid to detail, some of which can be seen in the rust-resistant concealed welding and the solid brass fittings. The structure is modular, so multiple units can be attached in line. The gazebo is free-standing and usually does not require a building permit. The canopy is fabricated with weather-resistant cream colored PVC that looks like canvas which allows a soft glow while keeping out the harmful rays of the sun and afternoon showers. Side privacy curtains are available as an added option.
