Altogether, the gazebo reaches a total height of 3.20m (10′ 6″), providing generous overhead clearance and lending a strong, architectural presence to any garden setting. This elevated design not only enhances airflow and openness beneath the canopy, but also creates a striking focal point that draws the eye and anchors your outdoor space. Whether positioned over a dining area, hot tub, or quiet retreat, the height contributes to a sense of grandeur and spaciousness—perfect for both entertaining and everyday relaxation.

What is the footprint size of the posts?

The legs are slightly inset. Altogether, the footprint size measures 3m (9′ 10″) by 4.22m (13′ 10″), based on the internal dimensions between the posts. Moreover, the diagonal span from post corner to post corner extends to 5.18m (17′ 0″), which, in turn, provides a generous sense of space beneath the canopy.

Under the shelter, there is a dark rectangular outdoor dining table surrounded by six woven, gray-colored chairs. The gazebo sits on a neatly trimmed patch of grass, and behind it is a tall, dense green hedge, with trees visible in the background under a bright blue sky with some light clouds.

Will the Yardistry Direct Gazebo need staining ?

No need to stain, the 12ft Gazebo and 12ft privacy wall arrive pre-finished and ready for assembly. That means once your build is complete, you can enjoy your new outdoor space immediately.

What type of stain do you use?


This water-based stain delivers practical benefits from the first brush stroke. It goes on easily, dries quickly, and keeps garden projects moving efficiently. It’s safe for children, pets, and plants, making it an ideal choice for family-friendly outdoor spaces. Furthermore, the absence of turpentine, white spirit, and heavy metals results in a cleaner, more environmentally friendly finish. Finally, its low VOC (volatile organic compound) content actively supports healthier air quality around your home and garden.

Yardistry Direct Natural Cedar Stain is the official colour-matched option, ensuring a perfect match to the original factory finish.

Should I maintain the aluminium roof?

No. The powder-coated aluminium roof doesn’t need maintenance. It can be washed or brushed clean from debris as necessary.

Do you include anchors?

All Yardistry Direct gazebos include post mounts fitted securely to each post. Yardistry Direct do not supply any hardware for the surface the gazebo will be fixed to.

What materials are used?

We use premium cedar lumber for the frame, offering natural durability and rich colour. The roof panels feature aluminium construction, powder-coated in a coffee brown finish for weather resistance and visual warmth. We use zinc-coated steel hardware to deliver lasting strength and stability. Powder-coated in black, the visible hardware stands out with a striking contrast that complements the rich cedar tones. Brackets and ground anchors follow suit — crafted from powder-coated steel for durability and securely engineered for long-term installation.
