With open air sides, a pavilion will not block your view of the backyard or detract from your landscape design when viewing the outdoors from inside your home, either. In fact, a pavilion can become a focal point in your landscape design, by adding interest and height and a natural place to install landscape lighting.

Here are six other benefits of adding a pavilion to your landscape:

Worries About the Weather Dissipate

Unfortunately, meteorologists are not always accurate with their predictions. How many times have you planned a backyard cookout or party only to have it rain the entire day? Rather than stress in the days leading up to an entertaining event, and worry about having to move the party indoors or reschedule, you can rest easy when you have a pavilion. Covered areas in your landscape give you a comfortable gathering space during rain and an area of shade if the sun gets too hot.

A Cooler Cooking Area

If you are planning to include an outdoor kitchen in your landscape, you may want to also consider a pavilion, to protect your kitchen appliances and dining area from the elements. It would also keep your counter surfaces, seating, and cooktop dry so that you will not have to worry about drying everything off after every rain storm.

Extended Outdoor Time

Adding a pavilion to your landscape can even help extend the use of your backyard throughout the fall, if you opt to also include an outdoor fireplace or other patio heating options. Imagine how cozy it would be to sit next to a warm, roaring fire with the cool fall breeze hinting at winter’s arrival.

A Sports Theme

Pavilions provide the ideal space for an outdoor bar, complete with a television to watch your favorite games all year round or host a superbowl party. Not only does the covered roof provide protection from the weather, but it also creates the illusion of a “room” in your outdoor space, where people will naturally want to gather.

The Ultimate Shade

Your pavilion also provides protection and comfort during hot, summer days. Place it poolside to create a shady cabana space and give your family and guests a place to get relief from the sun. The ceiling also offers the perfect place to install ceiling fans to keep the air moving and make it a little more comfortable on the hottest days.

Stylish, Customizable Options

A pavilion can be customized to your needs and design preferences. Popular design styles include stonework, brick, metal, white wood, roman-greco pillars, or alpine wood. The flooring could be part of your paver patio, or you may want different colored patios to delineate the shaded and unshaded areas. The choice is up to you.
