Have you thought about putting a gazebo in your backyard or porch area? A gazebo can be any free standing or attached enclosure with a ceiling to protect from the elements. A gazebo may have walls or be open, and often they will have shorter walls with a gate of some sort. There are a number of different uses for a gazebo, they: provide shade when it is hot, can keep the rain off of an outdoor picnic, they are often used to enclose a hot tub, it is a great place for a picnic or barbeque area, and there are many other possible uses in addition. Gazebos can be found all over including in public parks and pools, picnic areas, in recreational areas, and gazebos are even used as a pavilion for different shops in or store fronts in some cases.
Different sorts of gazebos
A gazebo is a generic term for any of the structures similar to described above. There are a couple different kinds of gazebos though, and these do differ from one to the other—though most do use the terms interchangeably we will describe the difference. A pagoda is a specific type of gazebo with tiered sections. Historically and outside of the world of home improvement a pagoda is very specifically a tiered tower often found in eastern countries like China, India, Japan, Napa and Vietnam used as religious temples. The tiered roof is what makes it a pagoda. For the home, obviously most don’t have tiered towers in their backyard, here a pagoda will be a structure with a single “tier” or roof which juts out. They can be open or semi open. The second is called a rotunda. A rotunda does not have a jutting roof and is circular. There are many examples and they can be used for a number of purposes. The circular structure is almost always domed and can be open or semi-open when referring to backyard rotundas. Outside of home improvement, rotundas can be found everywhere and the most popular example is perhaps the capital building. Rotundas are popular both for the functionality and the beauty of the round design.
What kind of gazebo should I get for the yard?
There is no right or wrong answer to that question, though a pagoda may more often be associated with a pool or tropical setting, and a rotunda with a picnic or other gathering, they are completely interchangeable for home use, both coming open or semi-open and of varying materials. Choosing which is right for you is matter of style and preference.
Advantages of a gazebo
1. It is a great way to get out of the elements quickly should it start raining on your picnic or barbeque. It is also a great place to get out of the hot sun for a little while but still enjoy the outdoors.
2. Custom Gazebos can certainly be a stylish touch as well, and many add one for that reason alone.
3. Finally in many instances a quality, stylish gazebo can actually add value to a home.

The term cabana stems from a kind of hut often used by indigenous peoples of different tropical zones. This is where the modern term come from. These cabanas usually stood alone or may have also been leaned against a tree, hill or other structure. This type of cabana generally had a thatched roof, usually grass, strung together in such a way to offer surprising protection from the rain. These cabanas were not as open as modern cabanas, usually with walls made of wood or clay and a small opening used as a “door” which was either left bare and open or which would be covered with some sort of cloth. These cabanas, when well made, offered very descent protection in tropical areas with moderate temperatures, they were however of no use in colder climates or areas with high winds and other detrimental weather conditions. While this was the inspiration for modern cabanas, today they bare little semblance to the originals, outside of an often thatched roof.
About today’s cabanas
Cabanas today are usually found around pools at hotels, public swimming areas and the like. They may also be found at some tiki or tropical bars or at some clubs. These cabanas may be for show, or sometimes they may be rented out by groups, and they often come with other services when in public areas. At pools they offer protection and comfort from the sun and may contain lounge chairs and other areas to sit and relax. Cabanas are also becoming popular in homes, either next to a pool area or other gathering place in order to offer a little protection from the sun while you enjoy the outdoors.
Cabanas may either be temporary structures, easy to move and rearrange at public places, or as more permanent structures. They are found in all kinds of materials, from wood to steel, aluminum and other materials for the frame, and the roof can be made from clothe or it may be a thatched material similar to the original cabanas, but made of more durable and weatherproofed materials.
Cabana’s vs. Other Outdoor Structures
From gazebos to awnings and pagodas you have a lot of options for outdoor structures offering some shelter from the wind or rain. So what is the primary difference between a cabana and these other structures? Cabanas by comparison are usually more open than these other options. They are often less permanent as well, and some cabanas can be taken down seasonally than put up again for the summer months—though some cabanas may be permanent structures. While the materials can vary, usually a cabana will have a more tropical feel, or a lighter look when made of cloth.
Why choose a cabana for the home?
1. Even if you don’t have a pool a cabana is a great place to relax or hang out with friends and family. The open nature lets you really enjoy your outdoors, but still offers just enough shelter from the sun or from the rain.
2. They are relatively inexpensive to install when compared to other stand alone outdoor structures you have to choose from.

Pergolas are an incredibly popular addition to homes all over the United States, specifically where weather like extensive heat, rain or wind may ruin and outdoor, backyard experience, but really anywhere people enjoy spending time either relaxing or with company in their backyard or garden.
A pergola is basically any free standing structure offering cover to an area of a backyard, or a structure connecting to one of the walls of a home providing shelter on the porch or in a patio area.
The type of materials used in the installation of a pergola is varied, and nearly anything may be used. Some of the more popular options included pressure treated lumber that can really stand up to the weather and environment and remain looking beautiful, cured, treated and painted cedar and other beautiful woods, steal or metal columns with different types of covering or roofs, plastic, concrete and much more. Really the options are as varied as your imagination, and designers and contractors can probably give you a host of new and unique ideas.
Along with custom pergolas, most home improvement contractors have a number of stock models you may have installed. In some instances you may even be able to install a pergola yourself with some simple directions and a list of needed materials and tools.
What are the advantages of a pergola?
The most obvious advantage of course is a measure of shelter while outdoors, but not so much that you cannot still enjoy a beautiful day. It is great for keeping the sun off while you lounge in your favorite lawn chair, protecting plants that need a bit more shade, cooking outdoors even in the rain, hosting parties and more.
Another advantage is that installing a pergola almost universally will increase the value of your home! Your backyard or garden is a major factor for consideration when your home is being priced. Additions to your backyard can often increase the value of your home, in some cases to even more than what you actually spent having a pergola installed.
Who should I hire to install my pergola?
Whenever you are making additions to your backyard or home it is absolutely essential that you only hire a professional. Home improvement contractors and designers will have experience with all types of backyards, and will be able to help you choose and than install the right kind of pergola that will look great in your backyard, that will be efficient and useful when you have friends and family over, and of course one that will last.
Quality is an essential factor whenever you are having work done on your home or in your backyard, and you want to be sure your pergola can stand up to the elements and that it will last. To save time and money make sure you only hire a professional if you are considering installing a pergola.
What will it cost?
As with all work on the home, prices vary depending on your vision, materials and the contractor hired. Be sure to compare prices and to only hire a reputable contractor.
