Which Suits Your Garden Best?

Hey everyone! I’m planning to upgrade my backyard, but I’m stuck trying to decide between a pergola and a gazebo. I love the idea of having a shaded spot to relax, but I’m not sure which one would be better for my space. I want something stylish but also practical—something that won’t feel too enclosed but still gives decent protection from the sun. Also, how much maintenance do they require? Would love to hear from anyone who’s installed one before!

Great question! I had the same dilemma when redoing my backyard last year. From my experience, a pergola is the better choice if you want something open and airy, while a gazebo offers full coverage, making it great for all-weather protection. If you enjoy partial sunlight and want to grow climbing plants, a pergola is fantastic. That being said, pergola cost can vary depending on materials and whether you go for a freestanding or wall-mounted option. I found this site really helpful when researching different styles and prices:https://cosydeals.com.au/catalogs/free-standing-pergola . If you’re leaning towards a gazebo, they’re great for hosting gatherings and can even be screened in to keep bugs out. I’d say it comes down to how much coverage you need and how much space you have!
