Gazebos, with their open sides and elegant design, provide ample space for grilling and dining. Meanwhile, pavilions and pergolas can be customized to include retractable canopies or fixed roofs, offering versatile coverage depending on the weather. Popular materials include wood, vinyl, and metals like aluminum, ensuring durability and longevity.

Gazebo BBQ Setups

Gazebos create an inviting hub for alfresco dining, with myriad opportunities for incorporatating BBQ appliances. Place your grill directly beneath the gazebo for easy access during cooking, or consider installing a built-in BBQ station along one of the sides for a streamlined look.
