Best Hardtop Gazebo With Netting And Curtains
Purple Leaf Double Roof Aluminum Patio Gazebo
The Purple Leaf Double Roof Aluminum Patio Gazebo is everything you want when you choose to extend your living space to the outdoors. At 10′ x 12′, it will accommodate a full dining or living room set without overwhelming moderate-sized yards.
The single-tier top vent in the steel roof will ensure that hot air escapes efficiently on especially hot days. You can feel confident that you’ll still be cool when the mosquito netting and privacy curtains are both closed.
We wouldn’t call the Double Roof contemporary in design, but it’s not entirely classic-looking either. It has a handsome profile with a roofline and texture that reminds us of Japanese pagodas.
Pros
- Eastern-inspired design
- Rain gutters
- 2,500 lbs snow load
- Single-tier roof vent to help regulate temperature
- No foundation needed
Cons
- Only available in one size and one color
Outsunny Backyard Steel Patio Gazebo
Now, this is a gazebo! With a 13 x 9’8″ footprint, the Backyard Steel from Outsunny is perfect for both a casual dinner and an intimate wedding. With a powder-coated steel frame below a galvanized steel top, there’s no denying that this gazebo will last a long time.
We love its unique Tahitian-inspired roofline. Although the steel roof doesn’t have a top vent that would let hot air escape quicker, the extra-large size of the entire structure makes up for it with plenty of airflows.
With such an ample space, the possibilities of what you can do with this regal gazebo are endless.
Pros
- Large footprint to accommodate events and formal gatherings
- Mosquito netting and curtains are easy to open and close
- Unique design makes for a show-stopping focal point
- Highly durable all-steel construction
- Low maintenance and easy to clean
Cons
- Mosquito netting and curtains do not move independently of each other
- Only available in one size and one color
Sojag Budapest Aluminum Patio Gazebo
We can’t say enough great things about the Budapest Aluminum Patio Gazebo from the masters at Sojag. There are many different types of gazebos, and Budapest is one of the most innovative designs we’ve seen.
It’s a wall-mounted model that doesn’t screw into an exterior wall. It does, therefore, need to be anchored to the ground (with the provided hardware). The Budapest isn’t unique for its all-aluminum frame and roof construction. But what that aluminum can do is remarkable.
Budapest’s roof is made from retractable aluminum composite panels. That’s right, and the roof retracts so that you have 100% control over the amount of sun and heat inside your gazebo.
With the privacy and comfort of mosquito netting and polyester curtains, this gazebo will be a gorgeous, light-filled addition to your home.
Pros
- Retractable roof for full sunlight and temperature control
- Wall-mounted design that doesn’t require drilling into your home’s exterior wall
- Stunning contemporary design
- No foundation needed
- Weather- and rust-resistant materials
Cons
- No manufacturer warranty
- The roof requires manual retraction
ALEKO Hardtop Aluminum Pop-Up Gazebo
The ALEKO option is perhaps an unexpected addition to the best hardtop gazebos with netting and curtains. Indeed, you don’t see that many pop-up gazebos with hardtops.
There are several reasons why you should consider this option. First, it’s the most economical on our list. It’s a steal, really, when you consider its use of superior materials, including a powder-coated aluminum frame and iron/polycarbonate roof.
We love this material combination for its durability and ability to keep your gazebo cool on hot days. An aluminum frame also keeps this gazebo relatively light compared to most hardtop options that aren’t designed as pop-ups.
The ALEKO design still weighs 150 lbs, so we’re not saying that you should take the “pop-up” part too literally. But we think that this more wallet-friendly option holds its own style, features, and strength.
Pros
- Aluminum frame and polycarbonate roof is highly durable
- Sleek, minimalist design fits most yard styles
- Netting and curtains can be adjusted independently of each other
- Quality budget-friendly option
- Weather- and rust-resistant
Cons
- It only comes with lightweight ground spikes for anchoring to the ground
Bay Isle Home Dahlin Hardtop Aluminum Patio Gazebo
The classic European design of the Dahlin Hardtop Aluminum Patio Gazebo is the perfect focal point for most landscape or hardscape styles. And the Dahlin isn’t just a pretty face.
The durable, rust-resistant steel roof ushers out hot air through a single-tier vent, which means that you’ll stay cooler on hot days. The Dahlin is also one of our favorite options for those who live in snowy regions because this gazebo can take a snow load of up to 2,500 lbs!
We also love the Dahlin for its rain gutters which flow water away from the gazebo’s edge, keeping you dry even in a downpour. This elegant and timeless design has so many special features for every climate.
Pros
- Rain gutters
- 2,500 lbs snow load
- Single-tier roof vent to help regulate temperature
- A hanging weight capacity of 15 lbs will accommodate a light or fan at the center
- Elegant, European design
Cons
- Only available in one size and one color
What To Consider When Buying A Hardtop Gazebo With Netting And Curtains
Airflow and Temperature Control
If you’re in the market for a hardtop gazebo that is outfitted explicitly with netting and curtains, you are probably concerned about either bugs, wind, rain, or privacy. Maybe all of the above.
These are legitimate concerns. Keep in mind that if you plan to enclose your gazebo regularly, for whatever reason, you’ll want to pay particular attention to roof design.
With open-air gazebos, air flows through the entire structure with little problem. That’s not to say that airflow is a problem when netting and curtains are introduced, but it does mean that the roof becomes even more important for regulating temperature.
For the best airflow while netting and curtains are closed, look for roofs with either vents or retractable panels or gazebos that are exceptionally large to allow heat to escape quickly.
(More) Enclosed Options
Even though netting and curtains will shield you from the elements, these gazebos will not be comfortable in the dead of winter for some.
If you live amidst snow and ice for a good part of the year, and your goal is to live the gazebo lifestyle year-round, you need something stronger than curtains.
Consider a gazebo with sliding screens instead. These are truly 4-season gazebos closer to sunrooms or bonus rooms, either separate from or attached to your home. They’re more of an investment, but they’ll also allow you to enjoy your gazebo many more days out of the year.
Final Thoughts
There are lots of beautiful options out there for a hardtop gazebo with netting and curtains. We hope that these designs and additional considerations have helped you decide which option is best for you to start living the gazebo lifestyle.
