The 8' x 8' Meridian Gazebo is an easy solution for creating more usable space in an outdoor area of nearly any size. Use it as a backyard breakfast nook, catch up with friends over a couple of drinks, host an intimate picnic, or get away from the day's commotion. The 8' x 8' Meridian Gazebo provides a sheltered space you can use any way you like, rain or shine. Sturdy, 5" x 5" posts with classic plinths provide a steady foundation without blocking exterior views, and sleek straight-line gussets provide stylish and solid support. It’s made of 100 percent premium exterior grade cedar and is coated in an environmentally friendly natural cedar-color stain that will protect the wood and extend its life. Cedar has many advantages for use in outdoor structures like this gazebo. It doesn’t swell, warp or decay; it’s naturally resistant to insects, easy to work with, and naturally beautiful. All wood sections are pre-cut and pre-drilled for easier assembly. The coffee brown colored aluminum roof protects from sun and rain and requires very little maintenance or upkeep.
