Some of Raise a Roof's Finest Gazebos:

Gazebo - Cedar

During the Renaissance, gazebos became popular in the gardens of monasteries, as shrines and places of meditation. Surrounded by nature, your Red Cedar gazebo takes you away from ringing phones and the demands of household chores to provide a welcome escape that's less than a minute away.

Choose your red cedar gazebo with complete confidence. Each is made of 100% #1 grade Western red cedar. This choice wood's natural oils preserve it from age decay and insect attack.

Standard Features All of the features listed below are included in the base price. All of our wood gazebos are fully customizable--click here for more information on these options.

		100% Cedar Shake Roof We are pleased to include a Cedar Shake Roof in our base pricing for all of our wood gazebos. Cedar is one of the best natural roofing materials available, sometimes lasting over 70 years. What makes cedar such an excellent roofing material? The natural oils found in cedar help reduce the risk of wood rot and insect damage, while its straight grain helps ensure that the shakes will remain flat and true. Finally, you do not even need to seal the shakes--left untreated they will weather to a rich and rustic gray. If you do wish to preserve the original look of the shakes then we recommend applying a quality sealer once a year.

		Standard Cedar Braces The braces included as part of our base model serve two purposes. The first is structural--the braces actually provide additional support for the roof of your gazebo. The second purpose is decorative--the braces add an attractive flair to the look of our gazebos. And if you would like an even more ornate look for your gazebo, let us add our more decorative braces to your gazebo. Please contact us to obtain more information about customizable options.

		Standard 4 x 4 Cedar Posts It is important that the main support structure of a gazebo be sturdy, straight and true. This is why we use 4 x 4 cedar posts in all of our cedar gazebos, not 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 posts like some of our competitors. The #1 grade western red cedar used for these posts is kiln dried, further enhancing its resistance to warping and twisting. Also available as part of our customizable options in a lathe-turned design that adds a more traditional flair to the look of your gazebo.

		1 x 3 Standard Cedar Railing As part of our base pricing, our cedar gazebos come with #1 grade cedar 1 x 3 railings or balusters, and 2 x 4 hand or top rails. Our top railing sections provide an added decorative touch to our gazebos and are made to match the lower railings. As with almost all of the features of our gazebos, you can switch the base railings for more decorative ones.

		#1 Grade Cedar Flooring The floor boards, joists, and band boards included in our base pricing are all made of 100% western red cedar. The unique resistance of this wood to decay and insect damage makes it ideal as a flooring material, helping to ensure years of beautiful use. Its natural strength should support all of your intended uses, including the addition of a hot tub or spa. And as previously noted, cedar can be sealed to maintain its reddish color, or you can leave it unsealed allowing it to age to a natural, rustic gray color.
