Pergola or Pavilion: Which One’s Right for You?

Not sure whether a pergola or pavilion is the right addition to your yard? With 20 years of experience, we will help you make the perfect choice.

Take a look at the key differences to discover which structure will best suit your lifestyle and outdoor design vision:

Structure & Coverage: A pergola typically has an open roof with crossbeams, offering partial shade, while a pavilion has a fully covered roof, providing complete protection from the elements.
Design & Aesthetic: Pergolas have a more open, airy feel and are often used to support climbing plants, while pavilions are larger, more enclosed, and often designed for more formal or spacious gatherings.
Functionality: Pergolas are ideal for creating a decorative outdoor space or a transition area, while pavilions are better suited for sheltering guests, hosting events, or providing full coverage for outdoor dining or lounging.
