Outdoor entertaining is certainly one of the many highlights of summer — think pool parties, barbecues with friends and family and late-night backyard bonfires. While we're not technically in the summer season just yet, now is the perfect time to start prepping your yard for those warm July nights.
Whether you're looking for extra shed storage, a stylish outdoor bar or simply more space for outdoor entertaining, Costco has got you covered. Our latest Costco find is the ultimate entertaining oasis: a screened-in hardtop gazebo with plenty of space for all your backyard guests.
Super sunny day or extra buggy night? This 12' x 16' structure is fully enclosed, making it the peaceful backyard getaway everyone needs when the sun is shining a little too bright. Plus, you can even enjoy dinner outdoors without being bothered by pesky mosquitoes. The ceiling also comes with a hook so you can elevate the space with a light fixture of your choice.
The screenhouse is ready-to-assemble, and Costco customers are pleased with the ease of installation: "The assembly instructions were easy to follow with every component clearly labeled," notes one 5-star reviewer.
Close to $4,000, Costco's screened-in gazebo is definitely a splurge purchase, and you'll need a Costco membership to place your order. If you're not ready to make that commitment just yet, don't worry. We found a few alternatives on Amazon, Walmart and The Home Depot that all come with screens or canopies to enclose the space (and they're less expensive).
