The feature of gazebo
The gazebos usually with the shape of polygon with six or eight sides.These sides may be completely open, including half walls or balustrades, or have full walls with large windows surrounding the landscape.
The structure of the freestanding gazebo is somewhat retro compared to the modern manufacturing process, because both its shape and material are traditional styles such as wood or other special materials, so its application to the scene is limited. This is what we should consider.
The feature of pergola
The sun louvered pergola is more simple and elegant about the structure comparing with aluminium gazebo. The shape of the bioklimatska pergola is usually a square shape, which is much simpler than the hexagonal and octagonal roofs of the pergola; in addition, the simple structure makes the installation very easy, and does not require very complicated engineering knowledge, just follow the instructions and videos to achieve fast Installation; the maintenance-free later period of the pergola is one of its major features, because the aluminum material used in whole-body structure, no matter what climate change and the aluminium pergola suffered from, the characteristics of the aluminum metal determine that it can withstand any severe weather conditions; the pergola also has the louvered blades on top, you can control the opening and closing of the blades at any time to allow the penetration of sunlight.
