Pergola, Pavilion, Or Gazebo: Which Is Right For My Yard?

Transform Your Outdoor Living Space With Outdoor Structures

Upgrading your property is easy when you choose to add an outdoor structure, such as a gazebo, pergola, or pavilion. These structures can completely transform your yard, adding a touch of personality while also creating a space to entertain. Each of these options delivers a different purpose. With the right planning, each option can all add value and style to your home and change the way you utilize your outdoor space. Below, we have broken down each type of structure and everything they can offer so you can easily decide which is right for your home. 

Pergola

Pergolas are a great way to add depth to your property while still being open and inviting. A pergola roof uses beams, or a slated roof, to create partial shade while also allowing sunlight and air to move throughout the space. Pergolas are best used in patios, walkways, and areas where you are looking for functional flexibility. You can make pergolas areas more closed off by using curtains or a canopy. If you are looking for a more natural element, pergolas are perfect for climbing plants like morning glories or vines. You can train these plants to add partitions and add more natural privacy to your pergola. 

Pavilion

Pavilions are a great option for people who are looking for a more full coverage option. A pavilion typically has a roof with open sides and is a great space for entertaining. Many people use pavilions to have great outdoor dining and kitchen areas, or extra entertaining spaces that can hold a few seats, so you can comfortably connect with your guests. Pavilions can protect you from bright sun, rain, or any other unexpected weather, which makes them perfect to use year-round. If you are looking for a structure that is perfect for hosting cookouts or are looking for an extra place to relax in the shade, a pavilion would be the perfect addition to your home. 

Gazebo

Gazebos are similar to pavilions. Both structures have a solid roof that provides excellent shade and comfort. While a pavilion's sides are left open, a gazebo has partially enclosed sides that provide a more closed-off structure. Gazebos are typically used to provide more comfort and a place to relax. Gardens are a very popular area where you may find a gazebo. Gazebos make the perfect place to sit down, enjoy a cup of coffee, and take in the nature that surrounds you. You are able to add screens to gazebos, which make them the perfect structure to keep unwanted bugs away and a great place to sit and relax after a long day. 

Which Option Is Right For Your Yard?

Deciding which option is right for you and your property comes down to how you want to utilize your space. Figuring out what your priorities are and how you want to use your space will help you decide which of these three options is best for you and your family. If you are looking for something that will block out some sunlight and offer shade, but allow you to still enjoy the openness nature provides, a pergola is the perfect option for you. A pavilion is a great option if you are looking to extend your home and create another living space or are looking for weather protection. And if you are looking for a more traditional and comfortable area you can retreat to, a gazebo will add the perfect amount of charm to any yard. Any of these options will add value to your home and allow you to find new ways to enjoy your property.
