🔨 Pergola, Pavilion, or Gazebo. Which is Right for Your Yard?

Thinking about adding a beautiful structure to your outdoor space but not sure where to start? 🤔 You're not alone! We often get asked: "What's the difference between a pergola, pavilion, and gazebo?"

Here’s a quick breakdown:
🌞 Pergolas: semi-open roofs, perfect for partial shade and garden style
🌦 Pavilions: fully covered roofs, great for weather protection
🏡 Gazebos: closed roofs and partial-enclosed sides, ideal for a cozy, defined space

Each adds charm and purpose, but depending on your vision, one may be better suited for your backyard or patio setup.
