Jennings took to social media to find 5 authors for the FifthroomLiving.com blog that were already respected experts in their field. “We wanted to use authorities that would offer our readers an exclusive viewpoint when it came to home design and outdoor décor,” said Jennings.

Included is Jenny Peterson, a garden and landscaping expert and the owner of J. Peterson Garden Design. Peterson has found success blogging about all garden-related products and activities.

NBC's "George To The Rescue," Home Improvement Show Taps GazeboCreations.com for Homeowner Makeover Airing October 9th

an 8' x 12', 4-beam vinyl pergola to surprise a deserving homeowner and his wife.

Airing on NBC's owned and operated channels in the top ten markets of the nation, "George to the Rescue" is based on viewers writing in and the show responding by helping deserving individuals improve their households. This backyard make-over is in response to an email written to the show by the wife, Debbie, asking the show to come to the rescue of her husband, John. As a past recipient of the presidential service award, John is a stroke victim suffering from right side paralysis and impaired speech. With his limited mobility and sensitivity to the sun, John now avoids leaving his home.

"We are looking for interesting and emotionally engaging stories involving good people/families that have had bad luck," said Andrew Scerbo, show producer. "In Debbie's email, she mentioned John's love of the outdoors and his desire to escape his home; however, he burns easily in the sun." Shade became a crucial factor in the design plan and the reason the producer approached GazeboCreations.com regarding their pergola kit that can be equipped with Shade FX, a retractable awning system.

"We are honored to participate in creating a functional outdoor space for John," said Tim McTighe, president of GazeboCreations.com. "Being able to help create a covered porch for John and Debbie to enjoy together is a privilege." The episode to feature the pergola is being filmed in Seaside Heights New Jersey.

The vinyl pergola, one of the top selling structures from GazeboCreations.com, is weather resistant and durable in the outdoor elements. The four beam design creates an open yet shaded exterior space. By drawing the Shade FX retractable awning, the sun can be completely blocked and provide a safe area for outdoor enjoyment.Television exposure is not a new concept to GazeboCreations.com as the company partners frequently with other home improvement and national television shows. Recently Gazebocreations.com supplied a beautiful gazebo for the taping of Live! with Regis and Kelly during the show's remote broadcast on Prince Edward's Island. "Our involvement with shows such as this comes with the same focus as our work with residential consumers," said Hazel Jennings, marketing representative for GazeboCreations.com. "We answer a call to provide the solution to an outdoor living space designed to the exact requirements of the homeowner." GazeboCreations.com also works with municipalities, educational institutions, resorts and parks by providing structures from arbors to amphitheaters as well as expansive lines of outdoor furniture that can be customized to fit each property's unique needs.

GazeboCreations.com. The gazebo will be the show's home away from home in Confederation Landing Park within historic Charlottetown, the capital city of Prince Edward Island. Beginning July 12th, the famed talk show hosts will use the gorgeous gazebo as “home base” throughout the four day remote broadcast.

"The producers of Live! with Regis and Kelly were looking for an outdoor structure that could provide the perfect covered yet open venue for the hosts and their guests," said Tim McTighe, president of GazeboCreations.com. "We were selected based on our ability to create the traditional look the historical setting demanded as well as our ability to meet their tight time frame and international shipping needs." The gazebo, which will be manufactured at the Pittsburgh, Pa. headquarters of GazeboCreations.com and assembled on site will measure 10' x 20' to accommodate the show's conversational style staging. The Live! gazebo will be constructed of the weather resistant and most requested vinyl material with classic cedar shake shingles and cedar flooring. It’s no surprise that set designers chose the striking Belle Roof gazebo, as its romantic and eye-catching silhouette is a favorite with any institution with people constantly snapping photos.

In addition to the on-air exposure of the gazebo, Live! will include GazeboCreations.com on the program's website and within promotions related to the show. Viewers will be able to share in the show's planned giveaways and activities and link directly to products utilized in the broadcast including the gazebo.

"The show is much like today's homeowners and commercial entities in its desire to maximize the beautiful setting with protected yet open living spaces that are designed to fit their needs exactly." said Mike Donaldson, director of sales for GazeboCreations.com Hide
