The best gazebos are built with durable materials and a strong design. Some features you should be looking for in a gazebo can include:
• Strong structure with a roof and pillars, walls are an added bonus
• Seating or bar area
• Screens, blinds or an area to hang curtains
• Sliding doors or windows
• Adequate flooring strong enough to support a spa or dining area
• Skylight

Permanent gazebo structures should have no problem withstanding winds, while non-permanent gazebos that aren’t secured to the ground properly may have a harder time.
