If you are thinking of installing a wooden garden gazebo, the first thing you need to do is check whether or not you need planning permission. As is the case with any large structure, it's always beneficial to do your homework first and ensure it's the best possible investment for your property, after all, the cost of submitting a planning application varies across the UK. The good news is that in most cases, you will not need planning permission to install a wooden gazebo. For instance, if the gazebo is temporary (up for less than 28 days), then generally planning consent is not required. For permanent structures, planning permission is only likely to be required for very large structures, but even so, the process will usually be very smooth. That said, it's always beneficial to be transparent about your plans and ask your local council.

Start the planning process by exploring exciting designs and styles

It's always good to take some time to narrow down the designs that will suit your garden and elevate your lifestyle. Once you know the shape and size of the gazebo you need, you can begin to identify whether additional steps are needed, such as planning permission. At Garden Gates Direct, we have many designs to suit your space and budget such as rectangular, octagonal and hexagonal gazebos. Whether you're looking for a large pitched roof wooden gazebo, a simple six-sided design to provide shelter from sunshine and rain, with space to add a table and chairs, we have you covered. Our Extremo wooden garden gazebo is very popular for large gardens, providing a magnificent focal point at a competitive price. With a stunning pyramid pitched roof and open sides the gazebo offers protection from rain, wind and harsh sunlight to deliver the perfect ambience for alfresco dining. The Tourist Wooden Garden Gazebo will also withstand the rigours of British weather. This open-sided gazebo features uninterrupted views of the garden, yet it's available in a choice of roof shingles in one of five colours - black, green, red, blue or brown.

Selecting the right design

Today's wooden gazebos include compact and minimalist styles as well as larger extravagant designs, but most products can be grouped into the following three categories:

Pitched Roof

This is a free-standing design using a combination of support and open sidewalls to provide plenty of space for relaxing or entertaining. The roof slope allows rainwater to flow away from the structure, keeping the interior well protected and usable in most weather conditions.

Side Panels

With the perfect blend of privacy and protection, most gazebos with side panels essentially have 2 sides as solid walls. Therefore, they breathe life into your garden, allowing you to maximise the potential of an underutilised corner of your garden.

Flat Roof

With a contemporary design and a lower height, they are rather minimalistic, which is great if the structure is built close to a boundary – as they can in some instances remove the need for planning permission. If you'd like to learn more about our wooden gazebos or require some help finding the best possible solution for your outdoor space, please call Garden Gates Direct today on.

Can Neighbours put scaffolding on my property?

Generally, scaffolding put up without permission is a trespass. In fact, a trespass may occur even without any scaffolding being on the land itself. It is enough if it projects over the property's airspace or is laid against a boundary wall belonging to the landowner next door.
