4 Reasons to Build Small Gazebos

    You can generally save a lot by building a smaller gazebo. Our super size culture tends to cause many people to built big gazebos, bigger than they really need. Here are 6 reasons why it makes sense for you to build a small gazebo, rather than a big one.

    1. A small gazebo will cost you less in taxes. Property taxes are often assessed based on square footage. So if you have a modest sized gazebo, you will pay far less in taxes each year.
    2. A small gazebo costs less to build. That means it is often possible to build for cash out of pocket.  Building for cash out of pocket can make you far more money than you might think, because you’re avoiding both the mortgage and the interest. Believe it or not, people often pay nothing but interest on their property for the first 10 years they are making payments.
    3. A small gazebo is physically easier to build. There’s just less work. You lift less weight, drive fewer nails, etc. A small gazebo goes up quicker than a big one. You may finish it by working alone during summer vacation.
    4. Last but not least, your small gazebo will have a smaller eco footprint than a large one. You help save the environment for the future.
