Thanks, Bayberry for your comment about the chicken umbrellas :). It reminded me of this great use for a satellite dish that I had seen in a Mother Earth News article.
When I googled satellite dish gazebo there were several hits, and so, I guess, it's not a novel idea, but it is a cool one.
If I can find an old satellite dish, I have just the spot for a gazebo :).

Foraged wildflowers make the table just a bit prettier.
Advance praise for Surviving the Apocalypse in the Suburbs" by John Michael Greer, author The Long Descent: A User's Guide to the End of the Industrial Age
In this eminently practical and thoughtful book, Wendy Brown takes on the challenge of exploring the options for surviving and thriving through hard times in the suburbs, and carries it off with aplomb. Highly recommended!

I've always wanted to take one of these dishes, clean it up, paint the inside like Italian tiles and use the center hole for a fountain, making my own little piece of Venice for the birds to enjoy. It's one of my someday projects.
My uncle made a gazebo out of an old style dish and it turned out really neat. I wish I had thought to take my camera when I saw it.
