Instructions on How to Make DIY Gazebo Side Panels:
- Measure the dimensions of your gazebo to determine the size of panels needed. Measure the width and height of the area you want to cover.
- Cut your fabric to the appropriate size. Be sure to add a little extra on all sides for hemming and attaching zippers or velcro.
- Hem the edges of your fabric. Fold over the edge of the fabric about half an inch and sew in place.
- If adding a door with a zipper, sew the zipper onto the fabric at the desired location.
- If using velcro tabs for installation, sew the velcro onto the top of the panel. Attach the opposite side of the velcro to your gazebo or pergola.
- Hang your panels and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit.
Customisation Ideas For Your Gazebo:
- Add decorative trim or fringe to the bottom of your panel for a boho or beachy vibe.
- Use patterned or brightly coloured fabric for fun, bold look.
- Using mosquito netting, consider adding string lights inside for a cosy and romantic atmosphere.
Remember to use caution when making your panels and follow proper safety procedures when using tools and equipment.
