Bill Kibbel Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 It's a hypeathral. Sometimes called temple of the sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kibbel Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 If there's a nice view surrounding the structure, calling it a gazebo would be just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always understood a gazebo to be a place of shelter (necessitating a roof) where one could "gaze" at the scenery. This provides neither shelter no view and is, in fact, more like something to be gazed upon, which has no other practical use - hence my leaning toward a folly.

John Kogel Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 "Garden structure" would work for me. 😄 I think I learned this here, keep it down to a Grade 6 level so nobody gets confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted June 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 Oh, heck, this thing wasn't even mentioned in the report. It wasn't even near the house. I was just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful with this new knowledge. 😄 (I was too yellow to be seen near the movie theaters, and doubt if it even came here. 😆) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pointed out the typo because I remember images of words and I figured others might too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Baird Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 I don't know what to call it but mofogazebo or gazebississimo, but it must be a current undercurrent in people's thinking. My wife is lobbying for me to build something stout, outdoors, and open to weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
