    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • 1. Field of the invention
  • This invention is a structural gazebo is built in structural aluminum, stainless steal and trans-lucid acrylic resistant to ultraviolet rays.
  • 2. Description of the Prior Art
  • Most gazebos roofs are made of fabric and/or flexible or with a permanent wood roof. These are assembled over columns that are resting on the location where it would be built. These columns are generally on the inside of the gazebo limiting the space around it. Our invention is a gazebo with a fixed roof that allows sun light through it but blocks ultraviolet rays. It has its own platform and columns, and the columns are installed outside of the gazebo allowing the use of the entire inside space. Typical of these are U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,733,508, Des. 296,593, 4,910,928, Des. 411,309, D 443,696 S, 6,349,511 B1, D458,689 S, D 471,645 S, D 482,798 S, D 483,878 S, D 506,262 S, 6,843,026 B2, D 505,908 S, D 522,146 S, D 532,116 S, 7,178,539 B2, D 538,706 S. Although these gazebos have been designed for its own use, they differed to the one presented on this invention.

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
  • The gazebo structure (FIG. 1) is made of four columns (11) each built with 4 aluminum square pipes (19). The 4 aluminum square pipes are stabilized with aluminum support (20). The columns (11) are attached to the platform (10). To attached the four columns (11) to the top, aluminum stabilizers are utilized (12). To anchor the platform, stainless steal screws are utilized. This platform (10) will be anchored to concrete or to the ground. The roof is made of trans-lucid acrylic resistant to ultraviolet rays (14) that is set on an inclined position over aluminum support (15) which elevates the acrylic. The vent for air to flow (16) is located between the four acrylic sections. The acrylic is secured by a stainless steal structure (13) that holds the columns through a stainless steal anchorage (21). These supporting structures are built of stainless steal square pipes (18) that are hold together by stainless steal plates (17).

Claims (3)

1. I claim a structural gazebo with architectural design.
2. The system of claim 1, wherein the said gazebo is supported by four architectural columns.
3. The system of claim 1, wherein the roof is created by four or more acrylic plates forming and architectural design.
