Gazebo Styles: Octagon or Hexagon

Both shapes use the same premium timber, traditional joinery, and custom options. The difference is size, feel, and where they sit best.

Octagon Gazebo

Elegant and symmetrical, the Octagon Gazebo is a true classic. Its eight-sided shape creates a balanced, open design that feels spacious while maintaining a sense of cozy enclosure. Perfect for gardens, weddings, or scenic seating areas, the octagon style invites natural light and 360-degree views. Each one is custom-built with exposed timber beams, decorative braces, and your choice of roofing and stain. Add built-in benches or a cupola for an extra touch of charm.

Best for: larger gardens, weddings and events, and seating with views on every side.

Hexagon Gazebo

The Hexagon Gazebo offers a slightly more compact but equally stunning design. With six equal sides, this style creates a warm, inviting structure that works beautifully in smaller spaces or as an intimate seating area. Like all of our gazebos, it’s crafted with precision joinery and premium timber to ensure long-lasting strength and style. The hexagon shape naturally draws people in, making it perfect for conversation spaces, hot tub covers, or tranquil garden hideaways.

Best for: smaller yards, conversation areas, and hot tub covers.

Ways to Use a Timber Gazebo

Garden Retreat

Set a gazebo at the end of a path or in a quiet corner and it becomes the place you walk out to with a book or a morning coffee.

Hot Tub Cover

A gazebo roof over the hot tub adds shade, privacy, and shelter from the weather, so you use it more months of the year.

Outdoor Dining Nook

Put a table under the roof for shaded summer meals, with built-in benches if you want the seating to be part of the structure.

Weddings and Gatherings

An octagon gazebo gives a ceremony or event a natural focal point, with open sides that keep guests connected to the space around it.

Gazebo, Pergola, or Pavilion?

We build all three in timber. Here is how they differ.

Structure	What it does
Gazebo	A freestanding, multi-sided structure with a peaked roof. It works as a destination and focal point, with a sense of enclosure the others do not have.
Pergola	An open frame of posts, beams, and rafters for filtered shade, with an optional solid cover. See our timber frame pergolas .
Pavilion	A larger rectangular structure with a pitched gable, hipped, or single slope roof, built as a sheltered outdoor room. Compare the styles on our timber frame pavilions page.

Planning a Timber Frame Gazebo in Utah

01

Pick the Spot First

A gazebo works best when it is somewhere to go: the end of a garden path, the view corner of the yard, or beside the hot tub. Think about the approach, the view from inside, and how it looks from the house.

02

Check What It Sits On

Posts carry the full weight of the roof and any snow on it. If the gazebo is going on an existing patio or deck, make sure that surface can carry the load. We check this before we build.

03

Choose Your Roof and Details

Choose your roofing and stain, then add decorative braces, built-in benches, or a cupola. A peaked roof sheds snow and rain to every side.

04

City and HOA Rules

Requirements vary by city and size, and many Utah HOAs review outdoor structures. Tell us about any rules during your quote and we will plan around them.

Timber Gazebo Questions, Answered

What is the difference between a gazebo and a pavilion?

A gazebo is a freestanding, multi-sided structure with a peaked roof, usually built as a focal point. A pavilion is a larger rectangular structure with a pitched roof, built as a sheltered outdoor room. See our timber frame pavilions to compare.

Should I choose an octagon or hexagon gazebo?

Choose an octagon for a more open, spacious feel and views on every side. Choose a hexagon for a smaller yard, a cozier seating area, or a hot tub cover.

Can a gazebo cover a hot tub?

Yes. The hexagon gazebo is a popular hot tub cover, adding shade, privacy, and shelter from the weather.

How does a timber gazebo hold up in Utah weather?

Our gazebos are built from premium-grade timber with traditional joinery and designed for four-season use in Utah. The peaked roof sheds snow and rain, and the timber is naturally weather-resistant.

What can I customize?

The shape, size, roofing, stain, and decorative braces, plus built-in benches or a cupola.

Do I need a permit for a gazebo in Utah?

It depends on your city and the size of the gazebo, and many HOAs have their own rules. Check early and tell us what applies so we can plan the design around it.

How much does a timber gazebo cost?

Price depends on the shape, size, roofing, and add-ons like benches or a cupola. We price every gazebo to its design, so request a free quote for a number based on your space.
