Gazebos · San Antonio & Surrounding Texas
Gazebos that anchor a backyard for a generation.
Freestanding cedar and composite gazebos — octagonal, rectangular, screened, and roofed — built to be the centerpiece of your outdoor space.
What we build
Custom Gazebos built for South Texas living.
A gazebo is a freestanding, fully roofed outdoor structure — often octagonal or rectangular — that provides complete shade and a defined gathering space. Built in cedar or composite with real footings and a roof engineered to shed heavy Texas downpours, it can be left open-air, screened, or fully enclosed for year-round use.
A gazebo isn't a piece of furniture you set in the yard. It's a building. And building one to last in South Texas means engineering it like a small house: real footings, real framing, a roof system that sheds 4-inch downpours, and finishes that don't fade or rot when the sun is on them eight hours a day.
We build every gazebo from scratch — sized to your yard, matched to your home's architecture, and detailed for whatever you want it to do. Dinner shelter? Hot tub cover? Outdoor reading room? Wedding-ready focal point? We design around the use.
You can finish it open-air for breeze, screened for mosquito-free evenings on Canyon Lake, or fully enclosed with windows and a small heater for year-round use. Wired for fans, lights, speakers, and outlets — all to code, all by a licensed electrician on our crew.
Options
Gazebo styles we build.
Pick a shape, a roof, and a level of enclosure based on how you want to use it.
Octagonal cedar gazebo
The classic look — eight-sided cedar gazebo with a shingled or metal-roofed cupola. Open-air with built-in bench seating around the perimeter.
Rectangular pavilion gazebo
A larger rectangular footprint that fits a full outdoor dining table or sectional. Modern, clean rafter lines and a low-slope roof.
Screened gazebo
Full fiberglass or stainless screen panels on all sides — mosquito-proof evenings without giving up the cross-breeze. Perfect for lakefront and creek-adjacent lots.
Hot tub gazebo
Sized and reinforced to sit over a hot tub, with screened or louvered side panels and a built-in pulley system to vent steam. Roof spec'd for the extra moisture load.
Garden tea house gazebo
A smaller, refined gazebo styled after Japanese tea houses or English garden follies. Often paired with a flagstone path and a small water feature.
Fully enclosed gazebo room
Glass or polycarbonate side panels, mini-split or electric heater, and an insulated roof. A year-round outdoor room one step short of an addition.

FAQ
Questions about gazebos?
How long does a custom gazebo build take?
A standard 12-foot octagonal cedar gazebo typically takes 3-4 weeks from break-ground to final walkthrough. Larger pavilions, screened gazebos, and fully enclosed builds run 5-8 weeks. Permits and HOA approval add 2-4 weeks on the front end.Do I need a permit for a backyard gazebo?
Yes, in almost every San Antonio jurisdiction. Any roofed structure with footings is considered an accessory building and needs a city permit. HOA approval is separate and usually required too. We build to code and will walk you through what your project needs.Cedar gazebo vs composite gazebo — which should I choose?
Cedar gives you the warm, traditional wood look and is generally less expensive upfront but needs re-staining every 2-3 years. Composite costs more initially, comes with a 25-year fade warranty, and needs almost no maintenance. We help you decide based on your maintenance appetite and how much sun the gazebo will see.Can I run electricity and water to a gazebo?
Yes — we run electrical for fans, lighting, outlets, and speakers as part of most builds, and trench in water if you want a sink, ice maker, or misting system. All work is to code and inspected.How much does a custom gazebo cost in the San Antonio area?
A standard 12-foot octagonal cedar gazebo runs $18,000-$32,000 depending on roof material, screens, and electrical. Larger pavilions and screened gazebos run $30,000-$70,000+. Your written quote breaks every line out.
