Custom Gazebo Installation | Arete Renovation Toronto

Overview

Why Choose Arete for Installation?

Of all outdoor structures, the gazebo occupies a unique place — part architecture, part garden feature, entirely magical. A well-built gazebo creates a destination in your backyard: a sheltered retreat for morning coffee, a romantic dinner backdrop, a shaded reading spot, or the perfect setting for summer entertaining. Arete Renovation designs and builds custom gazebos that are worthy of your home.

We build octagonal, hexagonal, square, and rectangular gazebos in cedar, pressure-treated lumber, and composite materials. Roofing options include asphalt shingles, cedar shake, and metal standing-seam. Every gazebo is engineered for Ontario's climate, properly permitted, and built from footings to finial with the precision and care you expect from Arete.

Our Approach

Timeless Design Principles

Great gazebos follow centuries-old proportioning rules: the ratio of post height to span, the pitch of the roof, the width of the railings. We apply these principles precisely to create structures that simply feel right from every angle.

Roofing Craftsmanship

The gazebo roof is its most prominent architectural feature. Whether asphalt shingles, cedar shake, or metal standing-seam, we install every roofing system with the same care and precision as a full house re-roof.

Deep Foundation Engineering

Ontario's frost depth demands that gazebo foundations go below the frost line to prevent heaving. We use poured concrete piers set at minimum 4 feet depth to anchor your structure permanently through every freeze-thaw cycle.

Screened Enclosures

Bug-free outdoor living is one of the greatest summer luxuries in the GTA. Our custom-framed screen systems use fibreglass mesh in quality frames that seal tightly and maintain their form and function for years without sagging or warping.

Electrical Integration

We rough in electrical during the framing stage for ceiling fans, pendant lighting, outdoor-rated outlets, and patio heaters. This approach avoids retrofitting and delivers a clean, invisible installation from day one.

Hot Tub Gazebo Specialists

Hot tub gazebos demand extra structural consideration for point load, humidity management, and ventilation design. We build these specifically with reinforced framing, moisture-resistant finishes, and properly sized ventilation openings.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked

Custom gazebo pricing in the GTA ranges from approximately $12,000 for a simple 10x10 cedar structure to $40,000 or more for a large screened gazebo with electrical, premium roofing, and custom millwork. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after your free consultation.

Gazebos over 10 m² require a building permit in the City of Toronto. We handle the full permit application including site plans and structural calculations as part of our complete project service — no extra charge for permit coordination.

A standard 12x12 octagonal gazebo takes approximately 7-14 business days to complete, including foundation work. Larger or more ornate structures with electrical and screened enclosures may take 3-4 weeks from ground-breaking to handover.

Yes — this is one of our most popular requests. We assess the existing hot tub position and dimensions, design a gazebo structure that accommodates it with proper clearances, and engineer for the additional point load, humidity levels, and safe electrical access requirements.
