Whether you’re seeking a cozy place to relax or a perfect spot for entertaining, gazebos offer open walls for fresh air ventilation and a comfortable space to sit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What surface should gazebos be built on?
When it comes to building gazebos, the most common foundation type is a concrete slab foundation. Concrete is also a good idea if you are thinking about installing a large gazebo, as it is both a durable and cost-effective material for your project. Additionally, it provides excellent stability, ensuring that the gazebo can withstand various weather conditions common in Edmonton. Other surfaces like pavers, composite, PVC or wood decks can also be used, depending on aesthetic preferences and intended use. Proper drainage and levelling are essential regardless of the surface, to avoid structural issues over time.
Can I build a gazebo on my deck?
In most situations, you can build a gazebo on your deck, but it will depend on the material and structural integrity of the deck. A wooden or composite deck can often support a gazebo, but you need to ensure that the deck is strong enough to handle the additional weight. Consulting with a professional to assess the load-bearing capacity of the deck is a good idea, especially for larger or permanent gazebo structures. Reinforcing the deck's foundation or using proper anchoring techniques will help ensure stability and safety, particularly in areas like Edmonton, where heavy snow or wind could affect the structure.
How do gazebos hold up in the winter?
Keeping your gazebo safe during the long Alberta winters is an important part of building and maintaining it. It is especially important to make sure the top of your gazebo has a steel or wood hard top, as fabric tops can collapse under the weight of snow building up. Additionally, regularly clearing snow from the roof will help prevent damage and strain on the structure. If possible, choose a gazebo designed for cold climates, with reinforced frames that can withstand heavy snow and strong winds. Anchoring the gazebo securely to its foundation is also crucial to prevent shifting or damage from the winter elements.
Do I need a permit to build Edmonton gazebos?
In the city of Edmonton, any structures that are not attached to your home, like sheds, pergolas, and gazebos, will need what is called an accessory structure permit. This permit ensures that the construction adheres to local safety and zoning regulations. You can find the required application forms and additional details about inspections on the City of Edmonton website. The potential cost for the permit will vary based on the size and scope of the gazebo, as well as the specific area where it is being built.
