Portable Screened Gazebos: A Versatile Choice

April 12th, 2008    Subscribe To Our Feed

Portable screened gazebos are an very attractive choice for homeowners. They combine the best gazebo options of mobility and protection from the elements. You can set them up anywhere you choose and not have to worry about insect pests ruining your meal or activities. They’re great for patios, picnics and special parties. Lighter-weight models can be transported to the beach or campground for outdoor fun.

Portable Screened Gazebos Are Budget-Friendly

Many people choose portable screened gazebos because they are cost effective and economical. Most are available for well under US $1000, and they provide just as much beauty, functionality and comfort as a permanent construct. There are excellent models of aluminum framed portable canopy gazebos, which cost between US $100 - $200.  The model at left is available from Canopy Center, who specializes in portable and popup gazebos and gazebo tents. Aluminum and steel frame gazebos with more elaborate styling cost in the range of US $200 - $800; far less than the cost of building a permanent fixture. The flexible screen netting is often made from a synthetic material that opens and closes easily to allow you and your guests access.

The sturdy pop-up gazebo in blue (photo link at right) has detachable screen netting that allows you to choose whether to have an enclosed screen room or an open shelter. It’s easy to set up on your deck or in your yard; and its roller bag makes it easy to transport to the park or tailgating party. It’s available from Canopy Center as well.

These gazebos are perfect for your backyard, patio or deck, creating a private outdoor room for dining and entertaining with minimal expense. Do note that if you plan to leave your portable gazebo up for the entire summer season you’ll want to ensure that it is properly weighted and/or staked in case of windy weather. If it’s very windy or stormy, you may want to take the gazebo down for its protection. If you don’t want to build a permanent gazebo, or plan to trade up from the home you have in a few years, consider the options available in portable screened gazebos.
