Pergolas, Pavilions, and Gazebos
Outdoor structures are great for bringing your outdoor experience to the next level, whether you're looking for a way to enhance the natural look of your garden or keep the party alive during unfavorable weather. A structure such as a Pavilion, Pergola, or Gazebo might be what you need. These three structures may seem very similar, but knowing which one is for you, can improve the appearance of your yard.
What is a Pergola?
Pergolas are most notable for their semi-open roofs and relaxed design. Pergolas are an incredibly versatile structure for your backyard, letting in plenty of sunlight or just enough shade to cool you off. A Pergola is most commonly designed as a rectangle but can be square as well. Pergolas are an excellent way to accentuate your garden and display your plants. Enjoy your evenings by decorating your pergola with lights, creating a nightlife atmosphere under the stars. Pergolas are great because they open up many creative opportunities to showcase your unique style.
What is a Pavilion?
Pavilions are identical to pergolas except they have a closed roof. A pavilion is most commonly designed as a rectangle but can be square too. A pavilion is open on all four sides; its key defining trait is a closed roof. Pavilions are great for covering a bar, dining area, or any other furniture you want to protect from weathering. Don't be afraid of the forecast any longer. Keep the party alive while staying dry.
What is a Gazebo?
Gazebos and pavilions are often confused as being the same since they both have closed roofs. The main difference is that gazebos have fenced sides around them, making them feel like there own room. Gazebos are also often octagonal or oval while pavilions are commonly square or rectangular. Gazebos are an excellent centerpiece for a yard and— while not limited to—are often seen at wedding ceremonies and other celebrations.
