But first, you might be asking what all these terms mean. Here’s a quick rundown of everything you need to know. Pergola kits are outdoor structures that usually consist of columns supporting a roofing grid of wooden or metal beams. Gazebos, on the other hand, have a complete roof with full shade, as opposed to a Pergola Roof which will have gaps between each slat for a more open feel. Gazebos will also usually have a slanted roof to allow for rainwater to run off. These are usually free-standing structures, which contrasts them to a patio, which is a fully integrated structure with patio roof, most likely attached to the home and constructed with foundations.
There are numerous benefits to incorporating one of these into your home. A Pergola or Gazebo helps to extend your living space, allowing you to enjoy more of your backyard space in comfort.

Always check with your local council to know the rules in your situation.
The assembly of your Pergola or Gazebo will be mostly straight forward for most users, however will require select additional tools and is better completed with multiple people.

There are a few differences between Timber and Metal as materials when deciding on your Pergola or Gazebo. Timber is a very popular option for its rustic, natural feel, as well as being generally more affordable than metal. It will also come in a greater variety of options, with more opportunities for customisation such painting or staining. Metal, on the other hand, has the advantage of being much more durable, and requiring less maintenance over its lifetime. It is much easier to clean, and can provide a more modern, urban feel to your backyard. Ultimately, while both are great options, it’s important to look at your needs and space to see what will suit you.
