Is it time for a Gazebo refurbishment?
Give Your Garden Building the Care It Deserves
A wooden garden building can add charm and elegance to any outdoor space. However, as with any outdoor timber structure, it requires maintenance to keep it looking its best. Over time, weathering is inevitable and the following tips may help you give your gazebo a longer life.
The best way to look after your gazebo is by performing occasional maintenance and refurbishment tasks, meaning the structure can remain a beautiful lasting feature in your garden for many years to come.
Simple Maintenance Tips to Keep Your Gazebo Looking Its Best
In order to preserve the appearance of your garden building, these steps should be followed:
Clear the Roof
Remove any moss, leaves and other debris from the roof. This will prevent moisture build-up that can lead to rot and structural damage over time, especially for thatched roofs.Cut Back Vegetation
If there are trees, hedges, or plants touching the building/canvas panels, you should trim them back. Allowing space around the structure can help in reducing wear and tear, damp and mould growth.Clean the Canvas
Wash the canvas occasionally with warm, soapy water to remove dirt, algae and mildew and finally rinse canvas off with a garden hose.
Timber protection for the building and furniture
Give the timber a light sanding and apply a wood preservative (best carried out in dry weather conditions).
By following these steps, this will not only enhance the visual appeal of your gazebo, but will also extend its lifespan and help to protect it from the elements.
