Key cost factors
Kit vs custom
Prefab kits are the most affordable and DIY-friendly. Custom-built wood and composite gazebos cost more but match your space and last longer.
Foundation and extras
A gazebo needs a level base such as pavers, a concrete pad, or a deck. Screens, lighting, and a finished roof add to the cost.
