Both pergolas and gazebos have the same vertical column structure in terms of appearance, but the main difference between the two is the roof. The roof of a pergola is open and consists of rows of louvres that can be flipped and moved. While the roof of a pergola is fixed, closed, and usually made of metal or fabric. But both pergolas and gazebos provide shade, and protection from the elements.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A PERGOLA AND A GAZEBO?
The disadvantage of a gazebo is that it doesn’t get the sun when you’re inside. Pergola, on the other hand, can be enjoyed by controlling the opening of the louvres on the top, which allows the sun to come in, and can also provide better ventilation, which means that pergolas are a more suitable choice for gardening and outdoor sitting areas. The pergola is a good choice if you are looking for a shady retreat on a hot day.
When you see this, someone may wonder: with the top louvres open, there will be a gap between each louvre, so will the top leak?
There will be no water leakage. We can answer you this question for sure.
