Log Gazebos
At Cascade Handcrafted, we build log Gazebos that are truly wonderful works of art. With western red cedar, the log flares create a majestic, solid look compliment any garden, backyard setting or venue. A log gazebo is so flexible for it’s uses. Make it your new summer relaxing place with comfortable seating and entertain outdoors year round! A great place to retreat to on hot summer days, as the open design allows the breeze to flow through and unlike the pergola, the covered roof provides plenty of shade. These beautiful structures can become THAT place where you love to go and bring fun to your yard!
