BUILDING FABRIC & EXTERIORS
that many general builders are capable of fitting these.
When it comes to groundworks, you should always check with a builder for your exact scenario, but concrete pads under each post will usually suffice. Gazebos are most commonly rested onto ‘staddle stones.’ These reconstituted sandstone blocks have small locating pins protruding from the
top, which the oak posts rest on. Because of the weight of a completed oak gazebo, they don’t need to be anchored to the floor, with many owners resting them onto steel pins drilled into their foundations.
Some owners go on to purchase removable canvas sidings to windproof some elevations of their gazebo, or you can opt for permanent cladding if you
require extra privacy, with overlapping feather-edged oak being a popular choice. To summarise, if you’re looking for an impressive structure to relax under, with a rich history tied to luxury and available to fit any sized space you may have available, consider a solid oak gazebo.
