Pergola
A pergola is an outdoor structure consisting of columns that support a roofing grid of beams and rafters. This roofing grid may be left open or covered so as to create an area sheltered from the elements. Pergolas may be freestanding or attached to a house.
Pergolas are typically larger structures, often in every dimension (height, width, and length). And their tops are more often flat.
A related outdoor wooden structure is the gazebo. But gazebos always have a closed roof, which is not true of pergolas. But to afford complete shade, plus protection from rain, some people cover their pergolas. One sometimes sees fiberglass used as a covering, but the more upscale homeowners may be interested in retractable shade canopies.
A gazebo has multiple purposes, from creating a relaxing spot to sit in the shade to creating different zones in a large backyard. The gazebo in this backyard houses a seating area right off the pool deck so swimmers can grab a snack or take a break from the sun and water.
Not only that, you can imagine, if you have a set of comfortable outdoor furniture, put it under such a gazebo, without the sun and rain, you can enjoy the sun occasionally, it is a thing to enjoy life.
