Gazebo

A gazebo is a freestanding outdoor structure with a solid roof and open sides, commonly made of metal or wood. It provides full coverage, offering protection from the sun and rain. It's often used in gardens, patios, and backyards as a space for relaxing or entertaining.

• Gazebo: Solid roof, often more enclosed, provides full shade and weather protection
• Pergola: Open roof with slats or beams, offers partial shade and a more open design

Gazebo and pergola are both popular outdoor structures, but they serve different purposes and have distinct designs. You can further understand their differences through the Sunjoy Gazebo vs Pergola.
