It is wedding season, and one of the most sought-after places to say your vows may be in a beautiful gazebo. Many venues will boast of their gazebos and display photos of nuptials taking place in them throughout the entire season. However, during the harsh off-season, with the terrible rains, vicious snows, and unforgiving ice, those beautiful gazebos can become horrible messes. It is essential to keep the gazebos protected all year to make sure they are picture perfect come the start of wedding season.
Screen Installation
Many gazebos are built open on all sides, with little or no protection from the outside elements. As a result, rain, leaves, snow, and debris have access to the interior wood. Continual exposure may cause deterioration of the wood. There is, however, a solution. Installing screens to the openings of the gazebo can keep the interior wood safe from the elements while keeping the atmosphere open and inviting. For many of these structures, invisible screens will serve the dual purpose of protecting the beauty of the wood and keeping the gazebo’s appearance open.
Screen Repair
Over time, as with any exterior fixture, weather can cause damage to screens. Gazebos, like many structures that are not insulated, may experience higher than average damage throughout each and every winter. At the start of the new season, there may be holes, the screen borders may be warped and misshapen, and rust may have formed around the borders, making the screens almost impossible to open and close. In addition, these issues make for unsightly photos, which can ruin a couple's special day.
Therefore, it is essential to stay on top of inspections and repairs. As the gazebos are preparing to be opened for the season, inspection should occur by a certified company that is happy to come to your location. You have enough to prepare for, getting the grounds and facility ready for the rush of new brides and grooms shopping for the perfect location. The last thing you should have to handle is fixing mistakes made by a company that does not understand screens and their importance.
Just because a company specializes in doors or windows does not mean they specialize in screens. Screens are a special niche, which need to be handled with a certain care that is different from the care needed for windows or doors, which are made of more solid and much less flexible material. Screens are easily damaged if mishandled. They need to specially fit to the opening to ensure gaps and tears do not occur. Otherwise, not only can damage occur, but also a beautiful bride and groom may be too busy fighting off insects to appreciate and enjoy their special moment. Repairing the screen is not as easy as fixing a hole or tear, especially if the screen is invisible. Special knowledge and skill is required to maintain the integrity of the screen and fit it to adjacent screens.
