Octagonal Cedar Gazebo with Hanging Swing
A flagstone pathway leads across the green lawn toward a freestanding cedar gazebo with an interior swing, framed by a two-story home featuring white stucco siding and black-trimmed windows.
Design notes
Modern pergolas are all about the slat: evenly spaced rafters in aluminium, steel or clear cedar, square posts set outside the furniture footprint and, increasingly, louvered roofs that close against rain. Finishes are black, white or natural timber with no ornament.
What to look for
- Clearance under the beams — 8 to 10 feet feels right
- Slat spacing and orientation against the afternoon sun
- Posts placed outside the furniture, never through it
