Our home is solar so there is very little shade in the back yard. The gazebo made a huge difference. It is surprising how much cooler it is sitting under there. Even on very hot days you can sit there and read, watch the Hummers come to the feeder,the Grandchildren swim and have a dinner parties.
I have a whole series of pictures from when we started the project with the first gazebo but my lap top with the pictures crashed a few weeks ago. I have back up for most of the pictures but Ric will have to get them out for me. Tomorrow I will try to get more close up pictures of this gazebo for you.
