- How to Choose? A Gazebo or Pergola?
A fixed roof and fixed sides provide the gazebo with more protection from the elements. On the other hand, a pergola is usually a simpler structure with a slatted open roof, that provides shade.🌳
Compared to the two, the pergola is more stable and has more styling options, while the pergola takes up less space, is cheaper, and also has advantages.
Pergola provides shade, but it can also be a nice addition to your outdoor living space, providing you and your family economy and comfortable space on hot summer days.
If you want to have full shade, you might consider a gazebo.💯 While a pergola can provide relief heat, the pergola will never provide 100% complete shade due to the top and design.
From installing different canopies and curtains to adding greenery vines to your roof, there are tons of pergola ideas that can help increase your shade. But for full shade coverage, the gazebo is a decent winner.
Due to its design, a gazebo provides more shade coverage than a pergola. On the one hand, the roof of the pavilion is continuous, completely shielding from the elements and sunlight. Also, unlike the flat roof of the pergola, the pergola has a sloping roof that allows rainwater to run down the sides. This pitched full-roof design exposes items stored under the gazebo to less UV radiation and rain, making it an ideal place to store outdoor furniture.
Today we mainly talk about the choice of the gazebo.✨
- How to Choose Gazebo Material, Aluminum or Steel?
- Anti-Rust and Anti-Corrosion Comparison
Compared with stainless steel, aluminum is less prone to rust and has better corrosion resistance.
Relatively speaking, aluminum is more active, and it is easy to be oxidized under natural conditions to produce a dense oxide film— alumina on the surface.
With this protective barrier, it's hard to break with everyday use. Alumina is a stable oxide of aluminum with high hardness, a melting point of 2054°C, and a boiling point of 2980°C, and is often used in the manufacture of refractory materials. Compared with aluminum, aluminum oxide is much more stable and is a natural protective layer for aluminum products.👍🏽
Ordinary steel corrodes very easily. Therefore, steel needs to be painted or powder coated to prevent rust and corrosion. In the case of steel, defect oxidation can occur if there is water and air. Once oxidation (rusting) occurs, if it is not protected, the subsequent oxidation will expand very quickly.
- Material Weight Comparison
One of the biggest differences between the two is the weight of the material. Compared to aluminum, steel is much denser, which can skyrocket its weight of steel. Mild steel is lighter than carbon steel, but aluminum is much lighter anyway. So aluminum is better than steel in terms of weight and is a very light but strong material.👍🏽
- Strength and Toughness Comparison
In most cases, steel is far stronger than aluminum. The carbon in steel makes it hard, and the higher the carbon content, the harder it becomes, while the ductility becomes lower, strong, and wear-resistant.🎉🎉
Although the tensile strength of aluminum exceeds that of steel, it is far inferior to steel in toughness.
Compared with steel, the advantages of aluminum: 💖
(1) It is not easy to rust and has better corrosion resistance.
(2) The tensile strength exceeds that of steel.
(3) The weight advantage is that the steel of the same volume is heavier, and aluminum is a very light but Very strong material.
Compared with aluminum, the advantages of steel: 💖
(1) In most cases, steel is much stronger than aluminum. The carbon in the steel makes it harder, the higher the carbon content, the harder it is, and the less ductile it becomes.
(2) The harder the steel, the more wear-resistant.
(3) The toughness of steel is much higher than that of aluminum.
Comprehensive advantages, each has its own strengths, today we mainly introduce the choice of the aluminum pavilion.
