What Is A Gazebo?
A gazebo is a free-standing, open structure, usually with a roof, that provides shade and rain protection. The gazebo is placed directly in the garden or park. With stylish tables and chairs, you can enjoy tea time quietly, or use it for other outdoor activities, such as weddings, parties, or picnics, or as a place for you to read or relax in the sun.

What Is A Pergola?
The pergola is a structure composed of support beams and horizontal beams. The top of the pergola is not rainproof like a gazebo. Its top is not dense and has limited ability to provide sunshade. The main function of a pergola is to provide support for climbing plants, such as vines or roses. It can also be made of wood, composite materials, or metal. It can be used to customize outdoor spaces, such as patios or pool areas, and provide a shelter for gardens and backyards. The shady place not only satisfies the design aesthetics but also meets the functional requirements. Pergolas are virtually immovable but can be designed with retractable canopies or shade cloths to provide flexible sun protection. The pictures below show the gallery products we are selling.

How to distinguish the difference between a gazebo and a pergola?
Gazebos and pergolas are both outdoor structures built to enhance outdoor activity spaces, but they have obvious differences in design and use. Let’s take a look!
1. Different structural design: A gazebo is usually a free-standing octagonal or hexagonal structure with a solid roof and open sides, usually with railings, columns and other elements, in various sizes and complexity, with tables and chairs for seating areas; The pergola is usually a long and narrow structure composed of supporting beams and vertical columns and an open lattice roof. The top is conducive to covering vines or other climbing plants for shade and beautification.
2. Different uses: A gazebo is a structure with a closed top that can block sunlight, rain, and even wind. It is a shelter or haven, usually in the center of a garden or courtyard, used for outdoor gatherings or quiet rest places; the pergola is relatively not that airtight, it can only provide partial shade, more support for climbing plants, and semi-enclosed area for rest and relaxation.
Both gazebos and pergolas enhance outdoor living spaces. Pergolas are enclosed structures with solid roofs, while pergolas are more open and airy. Now, can you tell the difference between a gazebo and a pergola?
When We Have A Limited Budget, Should We Choose A Gazebo Or A Pergola?
The top of the gazebo adopts a closed structure design, which determines that the materials used in the gazebo will not be less, so the price will be more expensive. With a more complex structural design, the price will be even more expensive, so if the budget is limited, the pergola is a simpler, more affordable option. The pergola can provide a certain amount of shade while maintaining an open feeling and being close to nature. It is a good choice. Of course, if you pursue perfection, have a larger budget, and need a larger, more functional structure to provide shade, shelter from rain, or a place for socializing, then I still recommend you choose a gazebo.
