A gazebo is an easy way to instantly upgrade your backyard. Prices range from around $745 for a fabric-top gazebo to around $3000 for a premium steel-roof, which is a small investment to make for a stylish structure that can offer years of beauty, shade and enjoyment. Here are some unique gazebos that make a style statement while enhancing your backyard's beauty and functionality.
How to Choose a Gazebo?
Gazebos come in all shapes and sizes. Which one you choose typically depends on three factors:
- Design aesthetic. This simply means "what do you like?" Are you looking for grey or bronze metal? Do you want the more rustic look of natural wood? Or do you have a modern house and prefer a more sleek, modern gazebo design?
- Functionality. What are you hoping to get from your gazebo? Do you want to fit an oblong table that seats 8 so you can host dinner parties? Do you want lots of shade, so something like a steel or aluminum roof that will block out all the sun? Or do you have lots of trees and shade already so maybe you want a polycarbonate roof that allows filtered light?
- Space limitations. The space you have to work with will influence the size and shape of the gazebo you choose. For example, for a long narrow space, you might choose a 12x16 rather than a 12x12. If you have a small space, see below for some small space options.
10 Unique Gazebos
The gazebo has traditionally been our most sold product here at The Better Backyard. Many gazebos look similar, but there are some that have a unique style, that stand our against the competition. If you're looking for something unusual, something completely different than what your neighbors might have, then look no further. These ten unique gazebos stand on their own when it comes to design.
1. Sojag Mykonos II Double Roof Gazebo with Mosquito Netting
One of our best-sellers, the Mykonos Double Roof Gazebo features a sturdy steel roof with a cupola, a smaller roof at the top. The purpose of this cupola (other than looking awesome) is to allow airflow into the gazebo (which also helps to mitigate the occasional high winds.) Like most of Sojag's gazebos, the Mykonos comes with mosquito netting to keep out pests (the cupola also has mesh netting). The double-track system allows you to add optional privacy curtains if you wish. Made of dark-grey powder-coated aluminum, the Mykonos comes in four sizes: 10x12, 10x14, 12x14 and 12x16.
2. Yardistry 12' Meridian Octagon Gazebo Kit 100% Cedar with Aluminum Roof
This is the classic gazebo profile you might find in a city park or on a seaside boardwalk, and it's such a nice departure from all the square and rectangular gazebos on the market. It's crafted from 100% cedar wood, which is strong, durable and naturally pest resistant. The aluminum roof offers shade and protection from the elements. Not only that, the octagonal shape of this unique gazebo creates all kinds of new landscaping possibilities for your yard. 
3. Palram - Canopia Tucson Gazebo with Polycarbonate Roof
If you’re looking for something more modern, the simple, sleek style of the Tucson Gazebo is worth your consideration. As functional as it is beautiful, its twin-wall polycarbonate roof panels block harmful UV rays while allowing diffused light to filter through. Gutters and downspouts channel water towards the four corners and away from the sides to keep you dry. It is perfect for creating an outdoor retreat, hosting a dinner party, or functioning as a shelter for your spa. 
4. Gazebo Penguin Yosemite 10x12 Aluminum Gazebo with Wood Finish
If you love the mix of wood and metal (or you just can't decide between the two), then the new Yosemite Gazebo from Gazebo Penguin might be a great choice for you. Vertical ribs and the distinctive double roof add interest. Designed to withstand most types of weather, the galvanized steel roof with powder-coated finish guards against fading in the sun. Mosquito netting is included to keep out pests, and optional curtains are also available for additional privacy.
5. Sojag Boda 12 x 12 ft. Gazebo
I love the strong modern styling of this Sojag gazebo - the combination of metal and wood, the repetitive lines and sharp contrast between black and brown. It is absolutely stunning! But the Boda is also functional, allowing you to arrange the walls to suit your shade needs. You can even create a half wall.
6. Paragon 10x12 Santa Monica Hard Top Gazebo
Experience relief from the summer sun and sudden rain showers with Paragon's 10x12 Santa Monica Hard Top Gazebo. The advanced composite roof, made of aluminum and polyethylene, not only protects from the sun's rays and noise from rain, but also adds a beautiful white-cream glow during the day and into the evenings. Candlelight is reflected back down, creating a cozy and illuminated outdoor space for any occasion.
7. Sunjoy 12.5x12.5 Black 2-Tier Wooden Frame Hardtop Gazebo with Ceiling Hook
I love the profile of Sunjoy’s Black 2-Tier Wooden Frame Gazebo. This high-quality rustic gazebo features a natural cedar frame and powder-coated roof for superior sun protection and stability, plus a double-tiered roof cover for premium ventilation. Hang a chandelier from the built-in ceiling hook to add just the right touch of style. 
8. Sojag Monaco Champagne Gazebo with Mosquito Netting
For champagne tastes, perhaps a champagne gazebo? This soft, gorgeous finish in one of Sojag's most successful profiles adds instant panache and blends effortlessly with a myriad of home styles and palettes. Included netting keeps bugs away. Optional taupe privacy curtains are easily added to the double-track system.
9. Sojag Fontana 10 x 12 Gazebo
Are you looking for a wood gazebo for backyard entertaining, but are put off by the cost? The strong, attractive Fontana aluminum patio gazebo from Sojag has a stylish, elegant look of a wood gazebo at a fraction of the price! This gazebo will bring a modern, contemporary look to your backyard space, while keeping your family and guests protected from the elements.
10. Palram - Canopia Monaco Hexagon Garden Gazebo
The Monaco Hexagon Garden Gazebo gives you that outdoor gathering space that you’ve always wanted. Decorative yet functional, the roof ornament keeps rain out and vents smoke and humidity. The stylish and durable design features a durable corrosion-resistant powder-coated aluminum frame in basalt-gray and twin-wall polycarbonate roof panels with bronze glazing to block harmful UV rays while allowing diffused light to filter through. Gutters and outlets channel water towards the six corners and away from the sides to keep you dry.
11. Sunjoy 10x12 Ft. Steel Frame 2-Tier Soft Top Gazebo With Decorative Vine
Transform your outdoor area into a peaceful retreat with the Sunjoy 10x12 ft. Steel Frame 2-Tier Soft Top Gazebo. As a leader in ready-to-assemble outdoor structures, Sunjoy incorporates a decorative vine design on the metal frame that adds a unique touch to any backyard. The weather-resistant canopy and powder-coated steel frame provide reliable shelter, while the 2-tier roof allows for comfortable airflow. The included curtains and mosquito netting offer additional protection and privacy.

Best Gazebos for High Wind Areas
If you live in an area that regularly receives winds exceeding 50 mph, you can do no better than a Yardistry 100% cedar gazebo. Yardistry designs their cedar products to be "permanent structures." Furthermore, they have wind-tested their gazebos in both Florida and Australia and found them to be highly tolerant of windy conditions. In fact, one of our customers in Cape Coral, FL reported this about the Yardistry Meridian 10 x 10 Gazebo:
"Just wanted to let you know that our gazebo did not flinch in 130 mph Hurricane Ian here in Florida. We have it bolted to the wood deck which is sitting on pavers! Two of the cedar posts were peppered with marks from the flying debris that lasted for about 8 hours. Something hit the roof and messed up a corner and the edge of the post. I was so happy that this gazebo is so well made!"
