Gazebos, Summerhouses and Pergolas

At some point in most peoples home lives they will find they need more space. Wouldn't it be amazing to suddenly find another room that just appeared from nowhere. Well with a garden room it is possible, often know as a gazebo, a pergola, a summer house, or even a shed. You can have a new room for just about any use. Our Devon specialist installers can give you that new space you've been looking for.

Gazebos and pergolas were originally designed to provide shade and basic shelter from the elements. The popularity of the gazebo is rooted far back in history when they were primarily used as pavilions and were much stronger and more solid structures than they are today.

Some historians believe, the word "gazebo" was first used in 1752 as a grand way to decorate a garden or patio. Gazebos have had several names over the years - pagodas, summerhouses, screen houses pergolas and arbors.

Gazebo history

Gazebos in Europe have been in existence for more than a thousand years. In the beginning they were built as towers or lanterns on the roofs of houses, to give excellent views out over the surrounding land. However in other parts of the world gazebos had a different use and meaning.

In Egypt dating back to 5000 BC they were believed to help create heaven on Earth and gazebo type murals were set on tombs. Gazebos were also used as early temples. In Rome and ancient Greece, gazebos were built as small temples. These were made mostly of marble. As the populations grew, the trend among the rich was to have a summerhouse along the Mediterranean coasts. Gazebos were mostly seen in these coastal getaways.

In Persia Summer was unbearable, so many gazebos were built across pools or streams. The idea was to let the cool water regulate the temperature inside. In china gazebos were seen as a place to rest, meditate, and achieve spiritual harmony. They were built to admire the beauty of the garden. Chinese gazebos or pagodas were large and had metaphorical looks. They were often known as 'teahouses' had held a great deal of significance during Tea Ceremonies.

In early America there was a boom in the popularity of Gazebos in the mid 1800's. As time passed, gazebos were regarded as out of fashion/style, but regained their appeal around the 1930's.

Modern gazebos and garden buildings

Modern gazebos, pergolas, and summerhouses are all fairly similar and are often made of wood so they are in keeping with their surrounds. There are a few points to distinguish between and help let you make the best decision for your Devon gazebo.

The Ramada
A ramada is a structure to provide shade and shelter, traditionally roofed with branches or brush, in modern construction it has a fully covered roof. Due to the ramada's sturdy structure it is ideal to include features such as a fireplace, barbecue area or a wet bar. Ramada designs from our Devon expert gazebo fitters also often include brick and stone details in the designs.

The Pergola
Both traditionally and modernly a pergola is an outdoor structure with an open roof. They are often built with supporting columns and great architectural details. Vines and creeping plants are often grown around the columns. Often in modern pergolas wood trellis is placed on top of the columns for plants to grow over.

The Gazebo
Gazebos are usually built in circular or geometric shapes. Nowadays an outdoor structure with at least five sides, often a hexagon, is defined as a gazebo. The roof is most often fully covered. They are sometimes called a summerhouse. A beautiful gazebo from a Devon installer can compliment Victorian architecture, and they look lovely sat among lots of trees, plants and vegetation.

Office at Home Devon

 

Devon Home Office Specialists give a brief overview on creating the perfect Home Office.

The important thing to remember about creating a home office is to make it suit your family's needs. For example, if your children need to use a computer, you will need to set up space that can be shared -- not a corner in your bedroom. Likewise, equipment and supplies should be selected for versatility.

If you do not have much room use a wall or part of a wall to set up an office. If you're extremely short on space, mount shelves on the top portion of a wall to store files and use a table that can be folded down.

  • Use a screen to set off a corner of a room and create office space. Although this is not perfect, it may be the best space you can find.
  • Find a niche -- under the stairs, on a landing, or in an odd-size room or hallway. Alternatively, why not have a timber Home Office space set up in the garden so you have more space and can escape there when you wish.
  • Convert a large cupboard into an office with a folding door. If there is no power inside the closet, have it wired to provide good lighting and an electrical outlet. This works particularly well in a spare room.
  • If you have a spare bedroom you could also replace an existing double bed with a sofa bed to allow space for your office.

Home Office Equipment & Supplies

Home Office Equipment is crucial for a home office to work properly. Along with good lighting, make sure your home office a place that you like.

  • If you intend to accessorise a room, draw up a floor plan before purchasing equipment. Make a plan and draw in any windows and doors. Then plot various design arrangements for things like your desk and computer.
  • Plan your work space so you have room to keep items such as the phone within reach while still retaining space to make notes.
  • Make sure you allow room for file cabinets to open. They are deeper than a standard desk.
