What is the difference between an outdoor pavilion and a gazebo?

According to Merriam-Webster, an outdoor pavilion is a decorative building used as a shelter in a park or large garden. Typically a pavilion is open sided, sporting only posts and a roof. It may sometimes be connected to another building. 

A gazebo, on the other hand, is always a freestanding structure. It may include a railing, screening, or built in seating. A traditional gazebo is octagonal, but round or rectangular ones are also available. Gazebos are frequently featured as the focal point of a garden, situated to take advantage of the view.

Is a Vinyl Pavilion or a Wood Pavilion Better for a Hershey, PA Location?

The Advantage of a Wood Pavilion or Wood Gazebo

Large or small, ornate or rustic, traditional or trendy, wood gazebos and wood pavilions are available in many styles and sizes. With a broad appeal because of the classic wood look, they are perfect for most locations. Wood pavilions and wood gazebos are typically more budget friendly as well.

A wood pavilion is commonly constructed of pressure-treated southern white pine. Sometimes, for a more classy look, a naturally rot-resistant species like cedar is used. And if you ever want a new look, all you need to do is paint it.

Because of the exposure of wood to the weather, some maintenance is necessary for maintaining the luster of a wood pavilion. 

• Inspect your structure periodically for signs of damage or deterioration. Make repairs as soon as you can.
• Check the post footings and the entire structure for loose or broken screws, bolts or other fasteners.
• Apply fresh paint or stain every few years, and a water-resistant sealant for protection from moisture.

If maintained properly, your wood pavilion or wood gazebo can last several generations.

The Benefits of a Vinyl Gazebo or Vinyl Pavilion

The crisp, clean look of vinyl pavilions or vinyl gazebos add modern elegance to your property in a way that wood cannot. They are exceptionally long-lasting, and stay looking “new” for many years. 

Since vinyl is a void-free surface, it naturally repels dirt and dust. Your vinyl gazebo or pavilion will require little to no maintenance on a regular basis. An occasional washing may be all you need to do over decades of use. No repainting or restaining will be needed.

Durability and vinyl are synonymous. Vinyl stands up well to extreme weather conditions or a high UV index. Its surface is harder than most woods, which means it is more scratch-resistant. In the rare event it does get scratched, the color is consistent throughout the material, so no touch-up is required. 

The impervious surface of vinyl keeps water from penetrating it, which means it will not rot. This makes vinyl attractive to the homeowner looking to build a pavilion in a damp or wet location or climate.

Vinyl is a natural deterrent to insects. Bees are not able to drill into it as they can on many wood surfaces.

Vinyl pavilions have a much longer life expectancy than traditional wood pavilions. It’s not unreasonable to assume a vinyl pavilion will last a lifetime. 

Vinyl pavilions and vinyl gazebos are virtually maintenance-free, perfect for the build-it-and-forget-it lifestyle. Spend less time on maintenance and more time on fun.
