Pergolas & Gazebos

A Gazebo is a freestanding garden structure that provides shelter from the elements, whether it be the beating rays of the sun or a Great British afternoon downpour.

In terms of uses, the possibilities are endless! From Yoga or relaxing with a good book, to family parties and BBQs, depending on the size of your gazebo you can use your space for a variety of activities. It also allows space for other garden products such as swing chairs, sun loungers or even a hot tub!

Decorating your gazebo to suit your garden is part of the fun of owning one! Including Hanging Plants, Fairy Lights and Bunting, find 10 Gazebo Decoration Ideas for Your Garden on our blog!

Pergolas, much like Gazebos, provide shade and shelter to your outdoor space. Normally built using wooden beams, they differ in the fact that they traditionally offer a longer-term addition to your garden and rather than being freestanding, pergolas normally extend out from a building as an extension.

Pergolas can be used for multiple activities. Perfect for casting a shadow over a hot summer’s day or keeping the rain off for a relaxing afternoon of reading, pergolas can create space for cooking with friends, playing with kids, or simply providing a focal point in your own piece of paradise right outside your own home.

Planning permission for a Gazebo or Pergola will depend on where you want to build it and your area of residence. It is always worth checking with your local authority if you are unsure!
