Building a gazebo wall with custom-cut wood boards is a fun, low-stress DIY project. But there are ways to further simplify how you add privacy to your outdoor area.

Some gazebos have fabric curtains you can roll up and down for privacy or wind protection. Nets, typically used for keeping bugs out, invite more circulation and airflow than plastic liners.

To soften the look of a metal gazebo, add semi-sheer curtains as seen here by @homebodywithforlisa. Close the floaty fabric around the gazebo to keep out bugs without entirely blocking the view.
