Press Release Summary: Amish Country Gazebos are helping to transform backyards into
a dream-come-true. Gazebos are eye-catching, perfect poolside retreats, and great
additions for decks and patios.

Press Release Body: For busy folks who don't have the time or the know-how to
transform their outdoor space into a cozy garden room, outdoor structures like
gazebos are a dream-come-true. Homeowners are turning to gazebos to transform their
backyards into stylish outdoor living spaces, complete with indoor comforts.
Chet Beiler, owner of Amish Country Gazebos (www.amishgazebos.com), the nation's
leading retailer of custom-crafted gazebos, agrees. "People today want a covered
retreat that adds distinction to their outdoor living areas," says Beiler. "They are
looking for a focal point for their landscape, a way to upgrade their current deck,
a special spot next to the pool to get away from the hot summer sun."
Gazebos have been a backyard staple for centuries. From ancient times, Egyptian and
Roman gardens were a focal point of entertainment and leisurely activities. Today,
these architecturally and aesthetically pleasing outdoor escapes are an extension of
your living space -- providing enjoyment and cool breezes on sultry summer days, a
serene retreat, a relaxing nook to cuddle with a favorite book, and a charming yet
functional room for entertaining.
Beiler says the first thing to consider before installing a gazebo is space and
scale. "The larger your outdoor area, the bigger the gazebo you should install," he
says. "Decide if you want your gazebo to be a focal point in a corner of the yard, a
poolside bungalow, or a great room with kitchen and dining areas. That will help you
determine the best shape and size to suit your needs."
These current gazebo trends help you achieve the look and function to fit your needs:

EYE-CATCHING
When it comes to landscape design, a gazebo is the finishing touch as an accent or
backdrop in any landscape. Select a spot that draws the eye to the gazebo and
creates a focal point of interest.

When selecting a gazebo, try to keep a unifying theme such as the same color or
style that is consistent with your home's architectural design. Continue this theme
by matching the roofing tiles with your home's or consider using materials or a
"motif" that connects the gazebo to the house: wrought iron ornamentation, a shell
or pineapple motif, the use of slate, or native stone.
POOLSIDE PARADISE
Escape from the hot summer sun is just one of the many reasons people install
gazebos. Poolside, they provide ample shade, a place for relaxing with the family,
or to entertain friends. Add some curtains that can be pulled for privacy and you
have an instant 'changing room.' Add a splash of color with gorgeous floral and
plant arrangements, and your pool is transformed, rivaling the best resorts, in your
mini "tropical paradise."

DECK OR PATIO ENHANCEMENTS
Adding a gazebo to an existing deck or patio is a great way to expand your living
space without breaking your budget. Today's new outdoor rooms are being used in
traditional ways for living space or for dining and cooking, complete with kitchens,
ceiling fans and mood lighting.

Today's gazebos are great for multi-tasking spaces; serving as offices or recreation
rooms by day- and intimate dining rooms at night. Trendy homeowners are wiring their
gazebos for computers or flat screen televisions, or adding mega grills for
entertaining.

THE GREAT ROOM
The biggest trend in outdoor living is living large outdoors -- literally. Outdoor
rooms are clearly reflecting our indoor trends, with gazebos leading the way as the
new "great room." Homeowners are installing very large gazebos, such as 40-foot
rectangular options, which offer enough living space for a kitchen with a grill and
refrigerator, a table for eight, and a few oversized chairs. It's the ultimate
outdoor room with all the indoor comfort and style today's homeowners demand.
