Backyard Retreats: Instant Gratification
Photo: Thomas J. Story
The greatest appeal of this do-it-yourself gazebo--aside from the ease of construction--is that it creates a personal space that can be tucked into a lush garden setting or set on its own on a large lawn or meadow. The walls are four prefabricated arbors and the roof is an umbrella that rises from a garden table. In just a matter of hours, you can be dining alfresco.

Year-round Garden Room
This garden room is a Northwest take on the lanai. It's open on two sided and provides flexible options for outdoor living. The architect conceived it as a summer deck that would "float" in a sea of salal, but it was transformed into an all-season outdoor room when he and the owners decided to add a roof, a fireplace, and walls that slide closed in stormy weather. - Integrated Cabinets
