What is the difference between a pergola and a gazebo?
Pergola: Open-top structure with slatted beams or adjustable louvers. Provides partial shade and an architectural focal point. Many models include retractable fabric canopies for flexible shade control. Rain passes through unless a canopy is added. Ideal for vine growing, outdoor dining, and decorative purposes.
Gazebo: Fully roofed structure (hardtop steel, polycarbonate, or fabric). Provides complete weather protection from sun and rain. Often includes mosquito netting and curtains. Better for all-weather outdoor living and entertaining.
Choose a pergola for style and partial shade. Choose a gazebo for full weather protection.
