Gazebo vs. Pavilion: Which One Should I Choose?

[joshyytree09]

Hi all! I want to add a structure to my garden for family gatherings and relaxing evenings. Should I go for a gazebo or a pavilion? What are the pros and cons of each?

Choose a gazebo for a more enclosed, intimate space with a roof and sides, while a pavilion offers an open design ideal for larger gatherings and unobstructed views.

If you want a cozy, enclosed structure with more decorative appeal, go for a gazebo—perfect for creating a backyard focal point. Pavilions are better for larger gatherings or outdoor kitchens since they offer an open, versatile space with more shade coverage!
