One option for a wood gazebo is redwood. Redwood has many advantages as a wood gazebo, because it is naturally decay and insect resistant. Therefore, there is no need for redwood to be pressure treated with harmful chemicals, and because it is not pressure treated you don’t have to paint your wood gazebo to cover up the look of pressure treated wood. Kiln dried clear redwood, often used in gazebo design, is beautiful and unique.

Another wood gazebo option is to use pine. Pine is soft, and easy to work with if you are building your own wood gazebo. However, pine decomposes at a faster rate than harder woods, so you must treat your gazebo in some way. Pressure treated lumber is one option, as well as deck sealers or painting your wood gazebo.

Cedar is another great option for a wood gazebo. Cedar has a unique aroma, presence, and style. Like redwood, it is naturally insect resistant. It is a harder wood, and more expensive than pine, similar in cost to redwood. Both redwood and cedar wood gazebos age very well and are good investments for your home.

Wood gazebos are popular because of their traditional feeling, as well as the connection to nature. Gazebos are structures that are designed explicitly to bring greater interaction with nature, and wood lends itself to that natural feeling. No matter what wood you choose, you can’t go wrong with a wood gazebo to enhance the look of your home and garden.

In terms of color, pine turns yellow with age, while cedar is very solid and turns gray-brown with age. Cedar is the most common gazebo wood. Redwood is the hardest, darkest gazebo construction wood.
