Bamboo Gazebos

Like its name suggests, a bamboo gazebo is a gazebo made out of bamboo. The small free-standing roofed structure is a very popular garden and backyard feature and can be used for various purposes, most often for hosting friends and family, as an outdoor living space and to enhance the garden.The name is an 18th-century joke word combining “gaze” with the Latin suffix ebo, meaning “I shall.” As a structured form, it is as old as garden history: it is the “viewing pavilion” of the Chinese or the summerhouse on the summit of a garden mount referred to by the 17th-century philosopher Francis Bacon.A gazebo is a freestanding, open garden structure, sometimes hexagonal or octagonal in shape, with a roof. Most gazebos are constructed of wood or metal and have ​built-in seating inside the sheltered area. To add a sense of enclosure and privacy, latticework or outdoor curtains or drapes are sometimes used.
