Gazebos and garden pergolas: the main differences
Pergola and gazebo are often used as synonyms, which creates a bit of confusion, but what are the main differences are between them? Although in both cases they are covering structures allowing sunlight and air to pass through, they differ in terms of how they are assembled: whereas pergolas are usually permanently mounted and attached to one of the load-bearing walls of the house, gazebos are generally mobile and designed to ensure the maximum eas to assemble and dismantle them.
Having said this, the aluminium pergolas for sale at blumfeldt are all mobile and designed to be easily repositioned in your outdoor area, unlike traditional wooden or iron pergolas. This useful piece of garden furniture offers the advantage of the portability of the former and the design of the latter.
Our pergolas come with polyester roofs, they are self-supporting and do not require any kind of installation, meaning that from a regulatory point of view they belong to the category of free building elements: therefore, their installation requires no authorisation, as they have a simple accessory function, to furnish outdoor spaces, and they do not constitute permanent building elements.
Why is aluminium recommended for your pergola?

As an extremely durable material, aluminium is perfect for designing a structure that will withstand the elements. Unlike wooden pergolas, our aluminium pergolas do not require frequent maintenance.
Aluminium is a solid and durable material, yet it is particularly light.

Main advantages of using a pergola
Are you still undecided whether or not to buy a new pergola for your outdoor area? If our offers haven't convinced you yet, here are the main reasons why you shouldn't give it a second thought:
- Gain shelter from the sun: nobody likes to 'toast in the summer heat', with the sun burning the skin and irritating the eyes. We love being outdoors, but with all the comfort of a well-sheltered area that is cool enough to allow us a minimum of relaxation. Thanks to a covered pergola you can stay outdoors without getting burnt and without the discomfort of excessive heat.
- Rain shelter: excessive sun is not the only enemy for those who like to be outdoors. Rain is also na big inconvenience. Sometimes, for example, it is not so cold that you have to stay indoors, so having a place outdoors where you can stand while drops of water drip down from roofs and gutters can be just as attractive. Not to mention the convenience of being able to leave clothes hanging or children's toys under the cover without any problems
- A place to relax: having a moment to take a coffee break, sitting down to read a good book or magazine, rocking while looking at the flowers or the sky, having a chat with a friend or your partner.A pergola is ideal for creating special corners, decorating them according to our taste, embellishing them with plant pots or vines and savouring small moments of pure pleasure.
