What is a gazeebo?

Question:

Answers:
Gazebo:

A gazebo is a pavilion structure commonly found in parks, gardens, and spacious public areas. Gazebos are freestanding, roofed, and open on all sides; they provide shade, basic shelter, ornamental features in a landscape, and a place to rest. In their original use—the word appears in English in 1752— they were sited to take advantage of a view, so much so that among the false etymologies for gazebo are Que c'est beau (French: "How beautiful") and the Macaronic Latin gazebo ("I shall gaze").

Earlier examples of garden pavilions that have survived were more solidly built, though open to views. Pavilions that a later generation might have termed gazebos are the garden houses at Montacute House. Some gazebos in public parks are large enough to serve as bandstands.

It is one of those things that has a roof and no walls that you see in parks and such.
It is usually of an octagon shape,it has eight sides.
Sometimes it will have bench seats along the walls.
I don't know of anything spelled like that: gazeebo, so I can only assume you mean gazebo.

As you see, a gazebo is a free-standing open air building, usually with a roof, and railing, usually in a garden setting with a lovely outdoor view, usually shady and with seating around the railing to appreciate the view. Usually octagonal or even approaching circular.

It is a lovely place to picnic, or enjoy the outdoors.
