How to Clean a Gazebo Roof

Gazebos offer a place of shade and rest in an outdoor setting. They are often found in a backyard area, in gardens, parks and country clubs and often appear octagonal in shape. These structures are typically constructed of wood, or iron to better withstand the elements. A roof provides shade and is often the portion of the gazebo to get the most dirty. Proper care and maintenance must be taken to keep your gazebo looking like new.
