WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GAZEBO AND AN ARBOR? There are some major differences between a gazebo and an arbor. An arbor could be called a gateway to an outdoor space. Many times an arbor has vines growing up on them. Designs can include: • Trellis walls – Side panels, usually consisting of latticework, are only a foot or two wide. The sidewalls are basically used to direct traffic in and out of an area, such as a sidewalk or path. • Arched roof – The roof is usually open latticework. • Anchored to the ground

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GAZEBO AND AN ARBOR?

           There  are  some major  differences  between  a  gazebo  and  an 

arbor. An arbor could be called a gateway  to an outdoor  space. Many times an arbor has vines growing up on them. Designs can include:

 • Trellis walls  –  Side  panels,  usually  consisting  of  latticework,  are 

only a foot or two wide. The sidewalls are basically used to direct traffic in and out of an area, such as a sidewalk or path.

• Arched roof – The roof is usually open latticework.• Anchored to the ground

           A gazebo  is more of an outdoor shelter. They are either polygon or round  in shape,  and  they  resemble  an  outdoor  room on  a  deck  or  in  a  yard.  They  are situated  so  that  the open entrance  focuses  the occupants  toward a particular view out in the yard, such as a pretty garden. Some features are, they: 

 • Offer seating for several people by providing bench seats around the walls. • Are built with a sturdy foundation and raised floor.• Could  be  a  shelter  from  a  storm  or  offer  shade,  as  the  roof  is  completely 

covered. The only open area is usually the upper side walls.          Both a gazebo and an arbor are decorative fixtures; however, the gazebo may 

require  a  building  permit,  depending  on  its  size  and  weight.  Also,  a  gazebo would  be more  expensive  to  build,  as  there  is  quite  a  bit more  to  it  than  an arbor. 

             Either of  these  two could be a beautiful addition  to your yard or garden. To
