Absolutely fantastic! You completely built my dream gazebo. Will you leave it to me in your will? :) Just joking on that one. But it is so beautiful and creative. Wish I had a fourth of your creativity!

Cathy,
What a creative idea! I absolutely love it and had to show it to my mom! what kind of tree branches did u use? Or did you? we have so many downed trees on our property from the past couple of winter wind storms that we have wood and branches coming out of our ears! This is a cool idea to do something with that wood.

RE: Recycled Gazebo
Wow ... you are one creative person!! What an awesome, unique idea. It's nice to see someone inspire so many people. Now a days there are nothing but cheap gazebos that fall apart within a year or so for sale at a high price. You could make a fortune if you made these for others ~ or if you sold instructions on "HOW TO"!
Good Job!

Smashing! When I can I come to relax and read my books? How creative and beautiful. You should do gazebo designs and how "green" of you to recycle.

That's just beautiful! I would want to just stay in there forever so relaxing I bet. You ought to submit the pics to mother earth news I bet they would proudly publish it, they strive to show how to use natures surroundings and that is so pretty. Great Job!

RE: Recycled Gazebo
Thanks for all the very nice feed back. In the northwest we also have wind storms and this is not going to blow away. Its very sturdy and heavy. The size of this is 13 feet all around and has a cement floor with terra cotta swirl coloring throw into the cement before it set up.The roof is regular plywood tar paper and 3 tab shingles. The sides were made in panels that were stood up once stood up and nail together with 6 inch long nails the support wood was put in place which is the cross lattice. I used screws on this and pre drill all holes.I used very long screws 3 1/2 inch and used two screws per stick wood. I also put a baseboards around the bottom edge and then a sealer. The wood for base board came from a scrap bin and I painted it with a orange yellow same as the inside roof.

Kathy: I spent a lot of years in Stanwood, way back in the day...I have a dear friend who lives there. I am going to send her your link...I bet she knows you! That is the coolest thing I have seen in a long time. You really should see about getting that in a magazine! I am serious! Good job all around.

RE: Recycled Gazebo
That is soooo great! What a creative idea!
We have acreage with lots of downed tree branches. I would love to build something similar! Have you had high winds? We get really hard winds in the winter. What do you think?

RE: Recycled Gazebo
Hi, Cathy,
This is beautiful and professional-looking. I'd also love to have instructions and more pictures -- maybe you could write an explanatory article for ThriftyFun for all of us. I have a bunch of questions: how long did the project take? How did you use 'downed trees' in the construction? What kind of floor does it have? What kind of roof does it have? What are the dimensions?
Thanks for any and all information on an intriguing structure!
Sincerely,
Nancy in NC

I think this is very creative and clever. I would like to see a better pic so more of the detail can be seen. My hats off to you for such a beautiful structure.

This was made out of downed trees using recycled vintage furniture, old stained glass for windows, antique hanging chandelier surround with plants outside and a copper weathervane on top.
