What is the difference between a pergola and a pagoda?
The difference between a pergola and a pagoda is design. A pergola is a structure with an open design consisting of pillars supporting a retractable roof or a removable fabric canopy. Derived from Asian architecture, a pagoda has a tower-like shape and a permanent pointed roof. On 1stDibs, find a range of pergolas and pagodas.
