| The site for a walk-in gazebo should be slightly above the surrounding area to prevent pooling. The heaviest concrete foundation guidelines should be followed, with a membrane under the concrete then finished in level paving where the walls stand. A row of 450mm paving around the gazebo allows for maintenance and stops soil splash from drips from the roof. The paving needs to be extended in front of the door to allow for its 1.2m width and outward swing of around 605mm. Planted tubs on the paving by the doors make an attractive addition. Choose a paving that complements the colour of the gazebo and the character of your garden. If you are designing a large paved area, the foundation can be adjusted away from the weight of the spa and gazebo. It may be advisable to extend the hard standing around your spa. This will allow all-round access and avoid soil splash from water coming over the side of the spa. Should you wish to add a gazebo to your spa in the future, an extension of the hard standing would also be necessary. When a spa and gazebo become the focal point of a larger paved area, there is space for pots and tubs to complement the gazebo as well as garden furniture to entertain and relax. |
