People seem to love or hate gazebos; I'm usually in the latter category, finding wooden gazebos to be rather gaudy-looking. Thankfully, some designers are introducing tasteful gazebos, like this Tepraco Malibu Gazebo, available at Patiolife.com. Made of aluminum, this gazebo is weatherproof, meaning owners don't have to disassemble the thing during the winter (the web site suggests removing the canvas covering). Additionally, the web site notes that this model of gazebo is "perhaps more at home in California and New Mexico than besides an old Victorian Queen Anne." And I have to agree with that assessment. Price: $3,295
