Wrought iron:
A classic material rediscovered

Hundreds of years ago, garden gazebos were made of wrought iron. At that time, they were mainly produced by hand in small forges, which was hard, sweaty work, and were exclusively for high-ranking and wealthy individuals. Even today, many steps are still done by hand, but with the help of machines, so that a wrought iron garden pavilion is affordable for everyone. In addition, the wrought iron used today is a much higher quality steel than that available to the old master blacksmiths.

Advantages of wrought iron

Wrought iron as a material for a garden pavilion offers several advantages over other materials that are also used in the manufacture of gazebos:

• Heavy weight, therefore excellent stability
• Very durable and resilient
• Good corrosion resistance, which can be further improved with coatings
• Exclusive, antique-style appearance

A metal gazebo in many variations
– an overview

Depending on the manufacturer, a gazebo for the garden can be round, oval, rectangular or square. Which shape you choose depends mainly on your personal taste. However, when choosing the shape, you should also make sure that it fits the geometry of your garden and its size. A metal climbing gazebo should always blend in with the overall look of your garden.

The size of your garden gazebo, garden shed or wrought iron climbing arbour depends primarily on the space available in your outdoor area. The market offers a wide variety of models with side lengths or diameters ranging from around 200 cm, to standard dimensions of 3x3m, to well over 5 metres.

Comparison of different materials for garden gazebos

The material used to make a garden pavilion usually has a direct impact on its durability. For example, an aluminium pavilion is lighter than an iron pavilion. It also affects how stable it is in strong winds, for example. Various gazebo manufacturers offer metal gazebos. These can be wrought iron or iron gazebos, models made of stainless steel or aluminium. Variants with plastic frames are also available. However, the latter are generally less robust and durable than metal models.

The table below shows you various materials that are commonly used to make garden pavilions, along with their properties and durability.

Material type	Resilience	Weight	Weatherproof
wrought iron	very high	high	good to very good
stainless steel	very high	high	excellent
aluminium	high	medium	very good
wood	high	high	moderate to very good

Surface coatings

There are also various surface coating options to choose from for metal garden pavilions. For example, wrought iron gazebos are available completely untreated, galvanised or powder coated. The latter can be applied with or without underlying galvanisation.

Whether as a climbing gazebo, steel pergola or cosy seating area for the garden, a metal gazebo is available with different roof designs. While some models do not have a roof at all, others are available with a canvas roof, a glazed roof or a permanently installed, closed roof.

Which gazebo is right for you: important decision-making aids

Before deciding on a gazebo model, you should first consider your needs and wishes:

Characteristics	Description
Purpose	What purpose should the gazebo serve? Should it be purely decorative, used as a climbing arbour for your flowers, for example as a rose gazebo or pergola? Or would you like a gazebo that you can use as an outdoor living room, complete with comfortable garden furniture?
Measuring the location	Measure the area of the future location to determine the optimal gazebo size.
Quality	A wrought iron gazebo made of solid material is more expensive, but much more stable, durable and weather-resistant than a model made of tubular material.
Coating	A coating ensures weather resistance and gives the wrought iron gazebo a special look. Here, it’s up to your personal taste: powder-coated, galvanised or uncoated (patina).

ELEO wrought iron gazebos: the high-quality choice for discerning garden owners

In addition to the wide variety of models and versatile applications, our ELEO wrought iron gazebos offer a number of other advantages. They are a high-quality choice for any garden owner, guaranteeing many years or even decades of enjoyment in your own garden.

What is the material quality of ELEO wrought iron gazebos?

Every ELEO pavilion is made of solid iron. Compared to tubular constructions, this design offers significantly better protection against rusting through. In addition, solid iron is much more robust and therefore does not bend even under heavy use. Its heavy weight ensures that an ELEO wrought iron pavilion remains stable even in strong winds – usually without the need for additional anchoring.

What coating options are available for wrought iron gazebos?

High-quality coatings ensure durability and give your gazebo more individuality. ELEO offers wrought iron garden gazebos with various high-quality surface coatings:

• with galvanisation
• with patina finish or
• with powder coating in various colours

For example, choose the rustic raw finish, which develops a patina over time. This does not affect the stability of our metal gazebos, but is a visually appealing antique finish for your garden. Our gazebos are also available in a galvanised finish, which offers excellent corrosion resistance. The same applies to our powder coatings. These consist of a galvanised coating with a colour coating on top. We are also happy to provide the latter in individually selectable special colours.

What size is a wrought iron gazebo?

At ELEO, you can choose from a wide range of iron gazebos in various sizes, including oval, round or square designs. This allows you to select a model that perfectly suits the space available in your garden and your personal requirements. Individuality is one of the strengths of our product range.

Are accessories for wrought iron gazebos also available?

You can choose to equip your ELEO wrought iron gazebo with perfectly fitting, high-quality accessories from our range. For example, you can choose from two trellis models and weather-resistant sun sails or curtains to make your garden gazebo even more individual and cosy.

Accessories for greater comfort, individual appearance and easy covering

By equipping your new ELEO wrought iron gazebo with optional accessories from our range, you can make it even more individual and functional. We offer the following high-quality products in our range of accessories:

• Matching trellises in attractive designs

Assembly and delivery of our wrought iron garden gazebos

ELEO Gazebo wrought iron gazebos can be delivered to the United Kingdom as well as to numerous other European countries upon request. With a little manual skill and a little time, you can usually assemble them yourself without any problems. We provide detailed assembly instructions in PDF format for each of our gazebos, which you can download.

The right care for your ELEO wrought iron garden gazebo

Our garden gazebos themselves do not usually require any regular maintenance. Thanks to their solid wrought iron construction, optionally combined with a high-quality surface coating, they will last for many years without additional maintenance. This applies even when exposed to constant weathering. However, if you use our sun sails and curtains with your garden pavilion, you should remove them during the winter season to extend their durability and prevent damage, for example from heavy snow loads.

Add more individuality to your metal gazebo with unique furnishings, decorations and plants.

Even though our wrought iron gazebos are already available in many different designs, you will probably want to further customise your new garden gazebo. There are various ways to achieve this.

High-quality garden furniture for pure relaxation in your gazebo

The market offers a wide variety of garden furniture to suit every taste, allowing you to effortlessly transform your ELEO iron pavilion into your own personal oasis of relaxation. For example, choose modern lounge combinations with comfortable loungers or garden furniture with rustic wrought iron frames to match the design of your gazebo. Or opt for natural-looking furniture made from weather-resistant woods such as teak or Douglas fir.

Individual planting for a ‘green’ garden gazebo

In combination with our trellises, you have the opportunity to permanently green or cover your round metal gazebo from ELEO with plants. Numerous climbing flowering plants such as roses or clematis are ideal for creating a ‘living curtain’. By using different plants, you can ensure that you can enjoy lush blooms in your pavilion almost all year round. We have compiled a table of the flowering times of various plants for you. By the way: you can accommodate plants not only on the trellis. The roof rings of our wrought iron gazebos are ideal for decorating with additional hanging baskets.

Plant type	Planting time	Flowering period	Flower colour	Location requirements
Climbing roses	October – April without frost	June to August	many different colours	sunny, humus-rich soil
Clematis (woodbine)	August	depending on the species, April to October	many different colours and sizes	shady to sunny, rich in humus, evenly moist
Buddleia ‘Butterfly wall’	February – September	July to October	different colours	full sun, dry and normal garden soil
