Pergola design differences between a Pergola, Cabana, Gazebo, & Arbours

We all love spending time outdoors, especially when the climate is pleasant. Pergolas are the best means to enhance the outdoor space into a comfortable living area. In Dubai where the climate is very harsh, every hotel, restaurant, and many villas are equipped with pergolas. The aluminium pergolas Dubai are trending instead of the traditional timber or wooden pergolas. Those who are still using the old type wooden pergolas may not know about the latest pergola designs Dubai which have been launched in UAE recently. Not only the basic material of pergolas has been updated but the number of design options has also increased. 

The Pergola contractors Dubai are using composite wood and aluminium as the base material in a great range of modern looking pergola designs. These outdoor structures mainly include: Pergolas, Cabanas, gazebos, and Arbours

Cabanas: Is a sheltered area that is mostly present near a pool or beach. The cabanas are used privately for getting changed while also being used as a semi private relaxation area. Usually, a pool cabana is covered on three sides, with three lightweight walls and one side opened which faces the pool. There might be a curtain on the open side that can be used when needed for more privacy. Cabanas are also amongst pergola designs Dubai with slight differences. They are now available in composite wood material. The timber which has been used for making the lightweight walls is now being replaced by composite material. With continuous interaction with water, timber can warp and bend but the WPC material won’t.

Gazebos: Are also shelter places in outdoor area but they are open from all sides. Generally, they are attached to the garden wall, but in some cases, they may be independent. Gazebos have a completely covered roof to provide shade and safety from the sun and rain. The gazebos are not meant only for shelter but they are also looked upon as an ornamental feature. Many in Dubai have seating inside them but others are so large they are used as stages. The Pergola contractors Dubai are now commonly using composite materials for creating personal gazebos for Dubai villas.

Arbour. Also known as the garden arch, is a free structure that serves as a gateway and support for climbing plants and vines. Trellis is a flat framework panel that is used along with arbour for supporting the climbing plants and vines. The difference between pergolas and arbour is that pergolas have support posts and a flat roof, while the arbours are usually made with two or four posts and have an arched roof. The sides of the arbour are generally covered with trellis while the sides of the pergolas are usually open. 

If you have a swimming pool in your house, a pool cabana is a must. It provides an enhanced look to your poolside. You may have one or multiple cabanas on your poolside. If you have a garden then a gazebo and arbour would be great outdoor structures to enhance the beauty of your garden.
