What's the difference between a gazebo and a pergola?

While both provide shade and enhance your outdoor space, they differ in key ways. A gazebo is a fully enclosed structure with a roof and sides, offering protection from the sun, rain, and wind. On the other hand, a pergola is an open structure with only a roof, letting in light and air. Think of a gazebo as a more private and weather-proof option, while a pergola adds a touch of elegance and sun-dappled ambiance.

Do I need a gazebo with sides?

It's up to you! Some gazebos come with sides, while others offer them as an optional add-on. Side panels can provide privacy, protection from insects, and extra shade. You can choose from solid panels for the most privacy and protection from the elements, mesh panels, which provide good ventilation and protection from insects, or removable panels, which give you the flexibility to adjust the level of privacy and protection as needed.
