Gazebo Penguin Vikos Garden Arches, Trellises, Arbors & Pergolas

Two pages sit under this one: Pergolas, with every model we stock in sizes from 8 x 8 ft to 10 x 20 ft, and Pergola Accessories, with the curtains, side panels, privacy screens and replacement canopy tops that fit them.

The pergolas divide by roof. One group has an adjustable louvered roof — rotating aluminum slats you open for sun or close for shade — on the Sojag HILO and the Gazebo Penguin Vikos. The other carries a fabric canopy over the frame, retractable or adjustable, on the Corriveau San Luis and the Sojag Yamba, Dunwich, Lima and Fontana. Both kinds are open-sided structures built for shade rather than enclosed rooms.

Which one suits you depends on what you want overhead and how much you want to close in. Louvers give you control over the light and leave a roof in place over the table; a retractable canopy folds away when you want full sun. Curtains, mosquito netting or a privacy screen then close one or more sides of either kind. Free shipping on most orders over $88*.

Pergola FAQ

What is the difference between a pergola and a gazebo?

A pergola is an open-sided shade structure: posts, beams and either a louvered roof or a fabric canopy, with nothing closing the sides unless you add curtains or screens. A gazebo on this site has a fixed hard roof of steel or polycarbonate panels, and many models include mosquito netting or curtains in the box. For an outdoor room with a solid roof, look at gazebos; for adjustable shade over a patio, a pergola is the one.

Louvered roof or retractable canopy — which should I choose?

A louvered roof is a set of aluminum slats you rotate: closed, they give deep shade and keep light rain off; open, they let the sun straight through, and the roof itself stays in place all year. It is not a watertight roof — a louvered pergola is a shade-and-shelter structure. A retractable canopy runs on a track instead: you draw it across for shade and fold it back for sun, and the fabric is normally taken down and stored for the winter.

Can the sides of a pergola be closed in?

Yes, within each model's own range of accessories: Gazebo Penguin curtains and mosquito netting for the Vikos in 10 x 10 and 10 x 13 ft and Sojag's pull-down privacy screens for the 10 ft and 12 ft sides of a HILO. Each set is made for its own model and footprint, so the accessory has to match the pergola — the Pergola Accessories page lists what fits what.
