FAQs
Is the timber treated for outdoor conditions?
Yes. All main structural timber is pressure treated to protect against rot, moisture, and insect damage, helping the gazebo perform reliably outdoors for many years.
What material are Katepal black shingles made from?
Katepal shingles are produced using SBS-modified bitumen, a flexible and durable material chosen for its resistance to cracking, tearing, and harsh weather.
Will this gazebo provide protection from rain and sun?
When installed with a waterproof membrane and maintained using products such as Osmo Oil, the gazebo offers dependable shelter from rain while also providing shade during warmer months.
What does the overhang actually do?
The overhang extends the roof beyond the main frame, giving extra coverage where people sit or walk. This helps keep seating areas drier and reduces direct sun exposure.
How does an apex gazebo differ from a four-pitch gazebo?
An apex gazebo features two sloping roof panels that meet at a central ridge, while a four-pitch gazebo has four roof panels that meet at a single peak, forming a pyramid-style roof.
Can this gazebo be made to a custom size?
Yes. Bespoke sizing is available, allowing the gazebo to be built to suit your exact space. Simply contact the sales team to discuss your requirements.
Do I need planning permission to install this gazebo?
Most gazebos fall under permitted development, but rules can vary depending on location and property type. We recommend checking with your local council before installation.
Installation
Is the gazebo supplied fully built?
No. The gazebo is delivered in kit form to make transport and handling easier. A clear installation manual is included to guide you through the build process.
Does the kit include all fixings?
Yes. All fixings required for assembly are included, so you won’t need to purchase additional hardware.
Is this gazebo suitable for DIY installation?
Many customers install it themselves. Due to its size and weight, having a second person or using a professional installer is recommended.
Aftercare and Maintenance
Can the gazebo be painted or stained?
Yes. Once the timber has fully dried, you can apply water-based paints or stains. Applying a UV-protective treatment first is recommended for best results.
How should I maintain the gazebo over time?
We recommend treating the timber every six months with Osmo Oil and periodically checking for dirt build-up to keep the structure in excellent condition.
What lifespan can I expect from this gazebo?
With correct installation and regular maintenance, the gazebo can last between 10 and 20 years.
