Pergolas FAQs
What is the difference between a pergola and a gazebo?
A pergola generally has a more open roof structure that defines an outdoor area and can provide partial shade. A gazebo normally has a solid roof and provides greater shelter. The right choice depends on how you want to use the space, the site, desired weather coverage, and budget.
Do pergolas and gazebos require permits?
Permit requirements vary by city, size, height, attachment method, setbacks, electrical scope, and other project details. Permit responsibility and any engineering needs must be confirmed during planning and documented in the agreement.
What materials can I choose for a pergola, gazebo, fence, or paver patio?
Available options depend on the design, exposure, maintenance preferences, budget, product availability, and structural requirements. McLendy Construction will discuss appropriate material choices during project planning.
