        "text": "Both pergolas and gazebos provide shade and define outdoor spaces, but they differ in structure and coverage. A pergola typically features an open, slatted roof supported by columns, offering partial shade and often acting as an architectural feature over a walkway or patio. It can be freestanding or attached to a house. A gazebo, conversely, is usually a freestanding, octagonal or circular structure with a solid, often pitched roof, providing full shade and shelter. Gazebos are more enclosed and often feature built-in seating.",
