Whether or not you want walls for your pavilion or gazebo primarily depends on what kind of protection you want it to provide.
A closed pavilion is a cosy little room in your garden where you can hang out all year round. It has walls that can be rolled up or pushed to the side, depending on the material they are made of.
An open pavilion provides good protection from the sun when itโs at its highest point in the sky. Because it doesnโt have any walls, it won't protect against the wind very well.
A pavilion with two walls provides good protection against both sun and rain. Wind can blow through it and cool you down on particularly hot days.
Choose a gazebo that stays stable even during bad weather. The frame is usually made of steel or aluminium, steel being the most stable of the two. However, aluminium is much easier to erect as it weighs less. The gazebo can also be made of iron, which will last for many years.
The roof tarpaulin should be made from a UV-resistant material that protects it from fading in the sun. Also check whether itโs waterproof or water-repellent. The difference here is that waterproof materials can withstand heavy rain, while water-repellent materials only can withstand light moisture.
A pavilion can be anything from a little hideaway in your garden to a fully-fledged party space under the stars. Think about how big your gazebo needs to be. If youโre going to have a party in the gazebo, you may want room for a dinner table, a bar and a dance floor. You need approximately 1.2 metres per seat and half a metre per person standing up.
If youโd prefer a cosy little room where you can drink your afternoon coffee, you donโt need more than a cafรฉ table and a couple of chairs.
