Tyler's welded metal Willow Gazebo stands 30 feet tall, and 30 feet wide.  The thousands of hand-crafted reflective leaves - colored gold, copper and bronze -  shimmer in the sunlight during the day.  At night, the gazebo is lit from within by six lighting fixtures, which hang, like flowers, from the tree's branches. The six brick and stonework seats placed between the gazebo's archways include historic bricks from the Phoenix Brickyard.  These seats, combined with a circular metal bench surrounding the willow tree's trunk, provide ample seating.    ​
