Where is the pavilion going? You should check how many rooms there are in the yard and check the best location and coverage. This will tell you the size of the pavilion you want to buy.

　　The mistake of a rookie is to find a technically suitable but tight position. As far as the layout of the backyard is concerned, you definitely don't want the pavilion to be overwhelming.

　　If it is the core or blended with your other content, it works well. However, if it overshadows everything, then it will unbalance your entire backyard.

　　This can also complicate your life when setting it up or removing it and trying to access it in regular use. Most importantly, you need a pavilion that is sized to fit comfortably in the yard, not a pavilion that can barely fit in.

　　Finally, you should remember that the size provided by gazebo manufacturers is usually the size of the base, not the size of the top.

　　This means that if the canopy extends beyond the column, any size of overhang will be ignored by the measurement (ie, it is actually wider and longer than the specified size).

　　This is important if you want to lean the pavilion against the side of the house or fence, etc. In addition to the dimensions provided by the manufacturer, always leave some extra space. (Same as above, please do not press tightly)

　　Material-The material of the pavilion and its size when fully constructed will determine its strengths and weaknesses. Depending on your intended use, you have two choices: hard top or soft top.

　　Traditionally, the pavilion is built of wood. Nowadays, although wooden gazebos are still a good choice, you can also choose modern buildings made of metal, polycarbonate, or plastic.

　　Wooden gazebo-The wooden gazebo kit has that charm and traditional beauty, so it is very popular. They provide a lot of things for the owners, but they are more involved in the setup work and also need more daily maintenance.

　　For installation, the kit will provide you with all the parts, but you must build the entire wooden structure from scratch. In order to maintain, wood needs more attention and more preparation for the cold season.

　　Having said that, some people like to enter the pavilion construction project, so if you want to stand by, this might be your ideal choice.

　　Wooden gazebos are almost always hardtops, the only exception may be the pergola, but this is more technical. You can buy kits for ordinary pavilions or pergola.

　　Non-wood pavilions-Non-wood pavilions will still involve some setup and maintenance, but not much. Generally, all you have to do is to assemble the components and screw them into place.

　　The number of settings involved depends on the size and weight of the pavilion you want to obtain. Naturally, lighter buildings will require more energy.

　　Non-wood pavilions provide more choices than wooden pavilions, allowing you to choose between more styles, designs, and prices. The main choice to be made is to choose a hard cap or a soft cap.

　　The soft top pavilion-The soft top is at the shallower end of the spectrum. The soft-top pavilion is a roof made of fabric.
