Are you in the dilemma of choosing between Gazebo, Pavilion, or Pergola? Well let us, in KWH guide you through the different aspects of each of the above-mentioned options and bid your confusion goodbye along with providing a clear idea for your backyard.

Let us begin by understanding what makes these individual structures different from each other. Here the main contrast between a gazebo and the pergola is the structure and function of the roof.

Pergola

A pergola is an outdoor garden feature forming a passageway or a shaded walkway with vertical pillars that are supported by cross-beams allowing vines and creepers to hang around the pillars. Even with pergola providing the least protection from sun and rain, it’s still been trending around for its features such as:

● Small space setup

● Different variety of designs

● Low cost

● Fewer requirements of the materials.


But some of the cons of building a pergola might include factors like:

● Less coverage/ protection

● Disruption of privacy

● Pretty low durability


Gazebo



A gazebo is a free-standing or rooted garden wall structure, with a completely shielded roof and opening on all 4 sides, allowing us to have a 360-degree view. It usually has a hexagonal or octagonal shape, but there are few novel ideas and it now comes in round, oval or rectangular shapes too. Some of the aspects that make the gazebos interesting are:

● Providing complete shelter/protection.

● Elegant looks and long-lasting durability

● Can be customized to the personal interests

● Allows to maintain privacy

Meanwhile, the cons of having a gazebo can be:

● Occupies a larger space

● Expensive

● Hard to maintain

● Requires more materials and time


Pavilion


Pavilions are typically a pergola with a closed roof. They are structures that have a fully covered roof or gable roof with open sides. It usually comes in square or rectangle shapes allowing it to take up more space than gazebos. The following has few pros of installing a pavilion.

● Customize add-ons such as wires and outlet

● Upgrade or addition of a wall to strengthen the protection

● Requires fewer materials

● Provides more coverage

And the drawbacks might include:

● Occupies a larger space

● Room for privacy is disrupted


After going through the features, pros, and cons of each individual structure, you might now possess some knowledge about gazebos, pergolas, and pavilions. In addition to these factors, one must also consider other factors such as weather, one’s personality, and interests.
