The Backyard Gazebo

It’s that time of year in Arizona where you can find us all poolside. Poolside for me means that I’ll be hiding from the scorching sun under my gazebo.

I’ve outfitted the gazebo from Target with curtains on 3 sides to shield me and not to mention the furniture from the blazing sun. Outdoor curtains retail for at least $30 for each panel and unless they’re made of iron, they are no match for this Arizona heat. I found these heavy duty drapes from Goodwill and they have held up for 2 years, I even leave them hanging year round! The back side of the drapes are lined with canvas so I installed that side towards the sun so I wouldn’t have to worry about the color fading. Things to think about when placing items outside in Arizona, fading and fabric deterioration.

Just short of an air conditioner, I’ve added everything I need to keep me comfortable while watching my family dive into the pool. There’s always room for a pool party at this House of Goodwill, come on over!
