The ‘Brief’ on this job was to see if it could be “fixed” ? repaired ? saved ?
It looked in reasonably bad shape a somewhat dilapidated Gazebo with cracked and loose timbers coming apart and old shadecloth needed a new lease of life to be a useable outdoor area once more.
“To Refurbish an old Gazebo” aka “Making a Silk Purse out of a Sows Ear.”
The up side was that though some timbers had split and cracked and needed replacing the structure was made from CCA treated pine and the timbers had not rotted away so mostly still of good value to keep.
