Gazebos and Pergolas

Gazebos are freestanding or attached structures either to a house or a garden wall. They are usually built with open  sides and a roof. The main reason people love gazebos is that they provide shade and shelter from the elements like the sun, wind and rain during a good 8-9 months of the year.

Others have built their own gazebos in the backyard for entertainment purposes around the pool to entertain any guests who might drop by for a good old fashioned chat. Being outdoors in the evening is a popular activity no matter where you live in Cape Breton.

The gazebo is a popular spot in summer and also also cuts down on the amount of traffic in the home. Nothing wrong with taking it all outdoors where we like to enjoy the summer months. Some gazebos for instance, are built in public parks and are large enough to serve as bandstands or public rain shelters while waiting for a bus.

You Say You’d Rather Have a Pergola?

What is a pergola some people have asked the building experts at Gills. Well, the three biggest differences between pergolas and gazebos are their physical appearance.

pergolaWhile pergolas are square or rectangular, gazebos are typically round or octagonal in shape. Pergolas also have no roof but do have cross beams in place. You usually fin a pergola beside a backyard deck or patio and is a also a great place of entertaining on hot summer evenings with a roaring bonfire nearby.

An option to a pergola or gazebo is to have it screened in to keep out the unwanted insects and bugs. Some pergolas are made from cedar and are very stylist, while other can be made from plywood and covered in siding, it’s your choice and depends on what look you are after. Cedar Gazebos are amongst the most popular gazebos and are built without a floor, just the walls and roofing to worry about here. It will really enhance your outdoor space, whether you have a pool or not.

The roof comes with double pine rafters, groove roof sheeting, and tar paper. All you have to do then is pick out what colour shingles you want. Most people just pick them according to the color of the shingles on their house roof, to match em up. If you have your mind made up to purchase a gazebo or pergola kit, contact one of the Gillis Building Supply Experts today and you would be enjoying your new purchase with family and friends by the end of the week.
