HOW WE BUILD

Gazebos Engineered for Toronto's Climate and Your Property

A gazebo that looks right in June needs to hold up in February. Every structure we build is designed for freeze-thaw movement, snow load, and GTA wind conditions — not just summer aesthetics.

Footings Built to Code

Gazebo footings in Toronto must go below the frost line — minimum 4 feet. We dig, pour, and frame to Ontario building code on every install, whether permits are required or not. That's what keeps your structure level after year one and year ten.

Cedar, Pressure-Treated & Aluminum

We work in all three materials depending on your budget, maintenance preference, and aesthetic. Cedar weathers beautifully and suits traditional homes. Aluminum is maintenance-free and suits modern builds. We'll recommend what actually fits your yard — not what's easiest to source.

Designed Around Your Lot

Sloped yard, narrow side yard, pool surround, or open backyard — we've built in all of them across Scarborough, Etobicoke, Richmond Hill, and Mississauga. The design starts with a site visit, not a catalogue.

Your Backyard Deserves a Real Gazebo — Not a Kit

There's a reason custom-built structures outlast prefab kits by decades. Here's the difference you're actually paying for.

THE CUSTOM WAY
Luxury Custom Gazebo Interior in Ontario

A Structure That Lasts

A custom-built gazebo is framed with real timber, set on concrete footings below the frost line, and finished to match your home. It handles Ontario snow load, sheds water properly, and looks better in year ten than it did in year one. This is the structure you stop thinking about after it's built.

Weathered and broken prefab gazebo kit

The Prefab Reality

Big-box kits are designed to look good in the box. By year two in a GTA backyard, the roof sags under snow load, the hardware oxidizes, and the joints loosen in the freeze-thaw cycle. Most prefab gazebos are replaced or demolished within five years. You end up spending more — just slower.

WHAT WE BUILD

Gazebo Styles We Install Across the GTA

Every style is built custom to your lot — not assembled from a kit. Choose the structure that fits how you actually use your backyard.

Open Timber Gazebo at Blue Hour
ESSENTIAL

Open Gazebo

Classic open-roof structure with full airflow. Cedar or pressure-treated, octagonal or rectangular. Built on concrete footings with your choice of decorative post trim and roofline. Suits traditional and transitional home styles across the GTA.

Best for:

Homeowners who want a clean, timeless backyard centrepiece without enclosure.

Screened Gazebo
MOST POPULAR

Screened Gazebo

Full screen enclosure on all sides — keeps mosquitoes and insects out while keeping airflow in. Same structural build as the open version with added screen framing, a screened door, and optional privacy panels on one or two sides.

Best for:

Families who want to use the backyard comfortably from May through October without fighting bugs.

Enclosed 4-Season Structure
PREMIUM

Enclosed 4-Season Structure

Insulated wall panels and weatherproof windows convert your gazebo into a true year-round outdoor room. Add electric heat and you're using it in January. Engineered for Ontario snow load and wind. Requires permit in most GTA municipalities — we handle the guidance.

Best for:

Homeowners who want a functional outdoor room in every season, not just summer.

Pavilion Structure
SIGNATURE

Pavilion Structure

Large-footprint open-roof structure for outdoor kitchens, pool surrounds, or full entertainment zones. Heavier timber framing, wider spans, and more dramatic rooflines than a standard gazebo. Often combined with interlocking, built-in seating, and landscape lighting as a complete backyard build.

Best for:

Larger properties where the outdoor space is meant to function as a second living room.

Customize Every Element

Build it exactly how you envision it. From the wood to the roof, you choose.

Structure & Frame

Post Material

Premium Western Red Cedar, Pressure-Treated Pine, or heavy Douglas Fir.

Roof Options

Architectural shingles to match your house, traditional cedar shakes, or modern standing seam metal.

Shape & Size

Octagonal, rectangular, or custom geometry. Standard sizes from 10x10 to 14x14, or built to your exact footprint.

Railing Style

Traditional turned balusters, modern horizontal slats, or frameless glass panels for unobstructed views.

Upgrades & Add-Ons

Screening & Enclosures

Full mosquito mesh, sliding screen doors, or solid insulated walls with glass windows.

Climate Control

Overhead ceiling fans for summer breeze, or infrared heaters for cool fall evenings.

Built-In Seating

Custom perimeter benches matched to the gazebo wood, available with hidden storage underneath.

Custom Finishes

Professional staining in rich walnut, espresso, natural honey, or weathered grey to match your exterior.

THE UNICORN EDGE

Built Different — Every Detail Matters

This is what separates a permanent architectural feature from a temporary backyard accessory.

01

Heavy Timber Frame Construction

We use solid 6×6 cedar or pressure-treated posts with engineered steel connections — never the 4×4 lumber that ships flat in a kit box. The difference is visible the moment you walk under it. The structure feels permanent because it is.

ENGINEERED CONNECTIONS
Heavy Timber Frame Construction
Ontario Snow-Load Rated Roof
02

Ontario Snow-Load Rated Roofs

Fabric canopies rip. Thin metal roofs dent under the first heavy snowfall. Our roofs are framed like a house — engineered rafters, heavy ridge beam, finished with architectural shingles, cedar shakes, or standing seam metal. Rated for Toronto snow loads, not Florida weather.

BUILT FOR CANADIAN WINTERS
03

Frost-Line Concrete Footings

Every post sits on a concrete footing poured below the 4-foot frost line. That's what keeps your gazebo level after year one, year five, and year ten. No heaving, no leaning, no repair calls in spring.

BELOW THE FROST LINE
Frost-Line Concrete Footings
Pre-Wired for Electrical & Lighting
04

Pre-Wired for Electrical & Lighting

We rough-in electrical during the build — pot lights, outlet banks, ceiling fan mount, or TV hookup. No extension cords run after the fact. By the time we hand over the keys, your gazebo is ready to use.

WIRED DURING CONSTRUCTION

"We wanted a screened gazebo that matched our 100-year-old house. The big box kits looked cheap. The Unicorn team built a custom cedar structure that looks like it's always been there. The craftsmanship is flawless."

"They handled everything from the city permits to the electrical wiring for the fan and lights. It's solid as a rock. Even after the heavy snow storms this winter, the roof didn't budge. Worth every penny."

"Professional crew, kept the site clean, and finished right on schedule. The 12x14 pavilion over our outdoor kitchen completely transformed how we use the backyard. Highly recommend them for custom wood work."
