Hey Up,
In the process of a bit of garden make over and was looking at getting either Hardtop Gazebo or a Pergola with a Aluminium Louvred roof.
Has anyone got anything similar? Just wondering about the longevity of them. They are supposed to be semi permanent structures for all weathers just having to take care about snowfall on the roof.
Realistically size wise 3 x 4 would be ideal but could go a little larger or a fair bit larger by enlarging the patio area but this is additional work and cost.
IMO the Pergolas look more sleek and modern but they are a lot more money for the same size. Also they vary massively in price. For a 3 x 4 I’ve seen them for a (little) as £3800 to around £5500, so would it be a case of getting what you pay for? Another consideration is that not all of them have the option have 4 sides, many only offer maximum of 3 sides.
Just some examples
Regarding the Gazebos Costco have a couple of decent options both made by Canadian manufacturers.
Either a Cedar wood one
Or a Aluminium one
Some of the Gazebos come with curtain sides, the wooden ones don’t, but I’ve seen a few companies who specialise in making curtains and covers so that’s not a big issue.
There are plenty more examples, for less money, but most seemingly coming from China.
Anyone got any experience of anything like this?
