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.
