One of the biggest differences between a pergola and a gazebo is the shape. Gazebos tend to be round or octagonal, whereas pergolas are square or rectangular. Both, however, provide a shaded sitting area.
By installing either a pergola or a gazebo, you can make your backyard design gorgeous. However, it’s important to have a well thought out plan in place ahead of construction. You will want to choose a design that complements your backyard’s architecture perfectly.
A well-constructed pergola or gazebo is the perfect accent to any deck, patio or sitting area. The functionality allows you to change the look and feel of your backyard. It also gives you an additional space to decorate and customize with hanging plants, light fixtures and more.
