What is a Pergola? Pergolas vs Arbors and Gazebos and Carports
To All Our Valued Customers, Over the past few years, the Covid 19 Pandemic has forced us to adapt and change the way we do things on a day-to-day basis. Florida Lumber is no exception. To make sure that we remain strong and competitive in the market for the years to come, Florida Lumber has had to adjust and change our vision for the future. In the last 2 years, we have stopped selling Sheetrock and drywall products, roofing felt and roofing materials, and have even closed on Saturdays.
Over the last few months, we have been transitioning our way out of the door supply business so on August 31, 2022, our door shop will stop assembling doors. We will continue liquidating our doors from inventory until we are out of material.
Some customers have asked if we are closing or even moving locations. To set the story straight, we are not closing or selling the business and we are not moving. These changes are all part of our new vision and path to continue serving South Florida and increasing our footprint in the construction supply industry.
Our focus is going to be on Lumber, Construction Materials, Rebar Fabrication and Rebar Accessories. As we have liquidated some of the items that we don’t sell anymore we have created more space to buy a larger volume of our core items and pass on the savings to our customers.
In the next year you will start seeing changes that will help improve our ability to serve you, our customers. We appreciate your business and your patience as Florida Lumber’s new vision becomes reality.

For outdoor decoration, pergola and Gazebos have become quite popular among all. This will make the roof of your house quite attractive and durable too. Apart from roofing, this can also be used to give an attractive look to the walkway and passageway. The word has been originated from the Latin word pergola. Another way to keep the garden decorated is to use Gazebo. This is a pavilion structure that is largely used in the garden or spacious public area.
What is a Pergola?
A Pergola is an outdoor structure that is used to support the roof and even this is used to make the entryway more attractive. The columnar design of this structure helps to give support to the roof. The grids of the roof can be left open so that it can keep the place covered by other elements. There are many things that one should know before even planning for introducing pergola in the property they own.
Pergolas vs Arbors
Here you may get a bit confused with arbors and pergola. Arbors also look quite similar to pergola but there are certain differences between these two. Here you can check the differences.
-
Arbor that is constructed in the garden is quite simple in design. There is an absence of the columns which you can notice in pergolas. Whereas pergolas are made with large structures.
-
In comparison to pergolas, these are quite small in structure. The structure is curved at the top. But in the case of pergolas, the tops are often flat.
-
The primary material used in the arbor is vinyl. Pergolas are mostly done with wooden structure and hence this gives a more attractive look.
The dimension, height, and length of pergolas are different than that of arbors. This is available with masonry columns that generate a classic look.
Pergolas are also used to make a connection between the outdoor living space and indoor rooms. Hence, this is used as an extension. Whereas, arbors are not attached to a house. But this can be designed in such a way to attach to a fence. The house gate or the entrance is designed with arbors. These are some basic differences between arbors and pergolas.
Hopefully the above discussion gives a clear idea as to what exactly the key differences are between pergolas and Arbors. Talking to a professional expert will give more information in this regard which will give you more visibility about the fine differences between the two.
Pergolas vs Gazebos and Carports
The gazebo is a wooden structure and it is used in the garden. The gazebo is always designed with a closed roof feature which is not seen in pergolas. A gazebo can also be divided into two parts one is a raised floor and another is a rounded shape. Again, you may have heard about carports. This is a shelter made to keep automobiles safe in a house. We again insist you get connected with one of the leading professionals of the industry to decide what exactly will suit your requirements and why.
Wrapping up
