What is the difference between a canopy and a gazebo?

Canopies: Open-sided, typically fabric on a steel frame. Quick to set up and take down. Best for temporary shade — events, seasonal vehicle protection, market booths. Available in sizes from 10' to 50'+.

Gazebos: Enclosed or semi-enclosed structures with a solid (steel/polycarbonate) or fabric roof. Include mosquito netting and/or curtains. More permanent installation on a patio or deck. Better for year-round outdoor living.

Choose a canopy for flexibility and quick setup. Choose a gazebo for a permanent outdoor room.
