What is a pergola vs. a gazebo?
1 Answer

What a pergola is vs. a gazebo comes down largely to the roof. Both pergolas and gazebos are outdoor buildings supported by posts, but their tops differ. A gazebo usually has a solid roof that provides plenty of shade. On the other hand, a pergola typically features a slatted roof that offers some shade but still allows sunshine to filter through.
