Create and decorate your outdoor space to make it more beautiful. More homeowners are rethinking their front and side yards and expanding them into recreational areas to enjoy the peace and quiet alone time that is especially important for health.👍👍
When it comes to decorating your own yard, pergolas and gazebos are great ways to enhance your yard. But pergolas are not the same as gazebos.
If you're trying to decide which is best for your patio, it is helpful to know the difference between a gazebo and a pergola.💕💕
Roof
The roof is most obvious difference between these structures.🌞🌞
Pergolas lack a complete roof, instead they have a horizontal lattice of interlocking beams that make up the top of the structure. While not a continuous roof, the beams provide some partial shade, allowing sunshine and fresh air to come through. In contrast, gazebos have a complete roof to provide full shade and protect against the elements. You’ll often see gazebos with slanted roofs to allow rainwater to run off.🥂🥂
Expand your living area
But which one is the best choice for your backyard? It will depend on what you want to do with it. Pergolas and gazebos are often used for different purposes.🌻🌻
As a free-standing structure, a pergola is great for shading garden paths or even extending your garden by adding trellises for climbing plants and vines. Pergolas can also be attached to buildings, walls or fences to create expanded or entirely new spaces. Benches, seats, and even hammocks can create a relaxing, quiet place to read or enjoy nature.💗💗
If some outdoor entertaining is your thing, the extra privacy of the gazebo might be just what you're looking for. They can serve as a backyard dining room, play area, and as an extension of your home's interior.🌸🌸
Room type
Another thing to consider is where you want to place your pergola or gazebo. While they all fit anywhere in your backyard, where you decide to place them depends on your needs.☀️☀️
Pergolas can be attached to a house or wall to help provide shade and comfort to an existing outdoor area like a porch, deck, or patio. They can also be placed over gardens and pathways to provide additional shade and act as enchanting gate entrances.🍃🍃
A gazebo can be placed anywhere. They can be placed on the lawn, deck, pavement, and accented with comfortable outdoor seating for you to rest on.🥳🥳
As you can see, while pergolas and gazebos are both a place to enjoy your backyard, they serve slightly different functions reflected in their designs. 💧💧
