Independent of where you live, time spent outside is indispensable for a happy and healthy life. Outdoor additions such as gazebos, pergolas, and outdoor kitchens are a great way to extend your time outside!
Gazebos and Pergolas
While there are several differences between these two great outdoor additions, the main differences are the roof and the floor. A gazebo has a closed roof and a solid floor and will provide shade and protection from the elements, while a pergola is open with grid beams that are great for adding soft cloth details or even growing your own grape vines. If you intend on using these structures year-round, there may be a need for some accessories you’ll want to have depending on the time of the year and weather. It can get chilly in late fall, so adding a heat source like a fire pit or propane-powered tube hater will be crucial. Another great way to stay warm and add luxury to your home is to add a hot tub or spa! To stay dry, windows and interchangeable screens in a gazebo are a good way to stay dry, but this will likely not be an option for a pergola. Interested in a few more neat upgrades?
