    It seems that time when I have to replace the roof of my gazebo... It currently has some tatty reed screening which (I think) is a couple of years old so I'm thinking of going for something a bit longer lasting, currently erring toward willow. Anyone have a favourite?

    Depending on the shape of your Gazebo and it's strength,timber shingles are the longest lasting natural material to use.Clay tiles are an option too.

    Thanks PG, I haven't seen anyone use the willow screening yet but rumour has it that it looks great. I'm just looking forward to the dappled shade in the summer with a G&T!
