Gazebos Make The Simple Life Grand

By: Kathy Moran

With the housing market in a slump, anything that promises to increase the value of a home is sure to be attractive to its owner; but, in order to make it worth the expense, it also has to be attractive to a prospective buyer. While many people believe that adding on, or remodeling, a room is the best way to accomplish this, many experts agree that it often pays more to enlarge the outdoor living space with a deck, gazebo, or other backyard structure.Besides boosting a homes appeal, these are typically much less expensive than indoor additions, and usually return a higher percentage of the investment. At the same time, they can be a lot more expansive, creating beautiful, open areas for entertaining; and theyll keep your guests from congregating in the kitchen while youre trying to prepare food for the crowd. Furthermore, now is the perfect time for such a project, as the trend toward outdoor living is huge and growing every year. So, building a deck or gazebo is a purely practical way to enhance your living area. It can also be an ongoing venture, because youll probably have a lot more room to work than you would within the confines of an indoor remodel. If your budget is limited, you can start small, and add on as your finances permit. Another great thing about an outdoor space is that you can design it to serve any purpose you have in mind. For example, you can make a combination outdoor living room and kitchen. Naturally, whether its a deck, a gazebo, or a patio, youre going to equip it with porch furniture, so that people will have places to sit. However, these days, you may want to take it a step further, as so many others are doing, and build in a barbecue and refrigerator, and install plumbing for running water, to create a complete outdoor cooking area as well. Of course, you can do a lot more than entertain in your new space. These extended living areas, particularly gazebos, can also be used as backyard havens, where you can go to relax, read, nap, or just enjoy the sights, sounds, and scents of your garden. Many people are even integrating their decks and gazebos, which gives them outdoor rooms that are close enough to their houses for convenient access, while being far enough removed to offer privacy.Moreover, there are so many features now available on gazebos, that they are being turned into cottages, home offices, home gyms, studios, hobby rooms, and, with hot tubs installed, spas.
