Hand Carved Balinese Gazebos

 While almost any gazebo adds a touch of beauty and grace to any deck, patio, or outdoors area, there is nothing that screams “beautiful decadence!”  like hand carved Balinese gazebos.  These are without a doubt, the luxurious kings of all gazebos.  Type in the words “hand carved Balinese gazebos” and look at the unbelievably gorgeous pictures that will pop up in the search results.  These are all custom made, from premium forest, and the handiwork is amazing.

Hand carved Balinese gazebos are specialty items, and as such, are not going to be just sitting around at some local hardware store.  These have to be ordered from a specific company, and take care to do some research.  As unfortunate as it seems, there are websites that will claim to sell you hand carved Balinese gazebos while in fact they are cheaper imitations from Java, or another nearby local trying to cash in on the famous wood working craftsmanship of the true artists.

Some of the custom made gazebos are already constructed, and can be bought for an agreed upon retail price.  Other companies offer the ability to custom order to fit size or design specifications, in which case a retail price may be quoted, or there is also a chance that the price may be based on the amount of wood that is needed to make a specifically customized hand carved Balinese gazebo.  In this case price might be based per cubic meter, though this is much rarer than a quoted retail price.

Almost all the stores that can provide reliable hand carved Balinese gazebos are from the area of Bali.  Some are in Indonesia, some are in Australia.  A detailed search on the internet will help you locate the stores that can provide such incredibly elegant and high end products.  This means there will be international shipping costs, so be prepared for this inevitability.  To make matters a little simpler, Balinese gazebos, though still built in Bali, are most often built, and then dismantled and shipped to their respective retail outlets, whether it be in Vietnam, Indonesia, Australia or elsewhere.  On the plus side, for anyone who is even remotely a decent handyman, this makes for easy assembly without the added expense of professional tradesmen.  In fact, it takes 3 men about 2 days to complete the average hand carved Balinese gazebo.  Many of these come with thatch roofs to complete the foreign/jungle like experience.

While beautiful, elegant, and in a league completely unmatched by its peers, the hand carved Balinese gazebos are definitely beyond the reach of the common man, and because of their beauty and expense, should not necessarily be used in the way that a much more common, much less expensive gazebo might be used.  These pieces are a one of a kind artwork, and bring a great grace, beauty and dignity to their proud owners.
