What is a pergola?

A pergola is an outdoor structure used in gardens or patios, consisting of columns or pillars supporting an open roof made of beams and cross slats. Its main function is to define a space, provide shade, or create a pleasant ambiance, while allowing light and air to circulate. Pergolas can be decorated with climbing plants, adding a natural and harmonious touch to your space. They are often used to create relaxing or outdoor dining areas.

What is the difference between a pergola and a gazebo?

Gazebos are freestanding structures with a permanent roof that provides both shade and shelter, whereas pergolas have an open structure with interlaced beams that offer partial shade.

Why build a wooden pergola?

A wooden pergola is an excellent choice for several reasons. First, its natural appearance blends perfectly with your garden or patio. Second, its strength and durability ensure a long lifespan. Finally, it provides shade while offering protection from the sun and rain.

What is a garden pavilion?

A garden pavilion is an elegant outdoor structure that often serves as the focal point of a garden or outdoor space. Unlike a pergola, which offers partial shade, a pavilion provides full shelter thanks to its closed roof. Available in a variety of styles and materials, from traditional wood to contemporary metal, it can be designed with open or closed walls depending on your needs. Ideal for creating a relaxing space, hosting guests, or enjoying outdoor meals, a garden pavilion combines functionality and aesthetics, adding value to your property.

How much does it cost to build a wooden gazebo or pergola?

Generally, the cost of a pergola ranges between $4,000 and $8,000, while a custom gazebo, built by certified professionals, can exceed $20,000, offering almost unlimited customization options.

What is the best location for adding a gazebo?

There’s no single answer to this question. It depends on the layout of your garden and the available space. However, it is generally advisable to place a gazebo in an area where it will receive plenty of sunlight and fresh air.

What type of pergola should you choose?

There is a wide variety of pergolas, with the freestanding pergola being the most common. Supported by four posts, it can be installed anywhere in your garden. For larger gardens, a high-end pavilion-style or gazebo-style pergola is an excellent option. Bigger and more elegant, they can accommodate a table with chairs or even a hot tub, creating a luxurious and functional outdoor space.
