You might be wondering of purchasing a new garden gazebo if your garden or patio gazebo has been affected by the damage from the elements or by the age and throwing away the older one. Gazebo canopies are made up of aluminum and are unaffected due to the effects of the sun and weathering. Replacing the entire gazebo, just because your canopy became an eye sore would not be a wise idea.  You can purchase a replacement gazebo canopy in order to bring life back into your patio gazebo. Consider the following tips which will help you to select the correct replacement of gazebo canopy:

• First of all, measure your gazebo frame accurately. You can do this with the help of a measuring tape but be sure that the tape is tightly pulled and there is no slack in between.  Ensure that the length and width are measured correctly from edge to edge.
• Search for replacement canopy of a good quality. Look for one that doesn't needs to be replaced year after year.
• If you want your replacement canopies to be more durable choose a canopy with reinforced corners and stitching.
• To ensure a good, secure fit try to find out a canopy that has Velcro straps stitched into it.
• To give your patio or deck a new look go for some different canopy colors.
• You would need some assistance to drape your replacement gazebo canopy after obtaining it. Start from one end of the gazebo frame and go up to the opposing side. For this you need to have a couple of small A-frame ladders or step stools which will make your work easier.
• You will come to the conclusion that without wasting much money and time your relaxing patio or garden setting got a fresh look.

As soon as the weather changes and turns nice, many people would like to spend their time outdoors and enjoying backyard garden or patio paradises. So, replacement of gazebo canopy should take place before the spring and should be taken down during the late fall and winter months. The gazebo should be restored with a replacement gazebo canopy as soon as it shows the signs of age.
