FAQ – The 5 most common questions about pavilions
What is a pavilion and what is it suitable for?
A pavilion is a freestanding structure for the garden or outdoor area, offering a sheltered spot for sitting, relaxing, or dining:
- Ideal for permanent seating or living areas in the garden
- Provides protection from sun and rain
- Suitable for private gardens, terraces, or spacious outdoor areas
- Designed for long-term use due to its stable construction
Tip: Pavilions create a clearly defined focal point in the garden and provide a cozy ambiance.
What pavilion models are there and how do they differ?
Pavilions primarily differ in size, design, and type of roofing:
-
Pavilions without roofing: open construction, ideal as a climbing aid or for an airy look
-
Pavilions with fixed tarpaulin: offer additional protection from sun and rain
-
Different sizes: suitable for small seating groups to spacious lounge areas
Tip: The choice of model depends on the desired protection, location, and available space.
What materials are pavilions made of and how easy are they to maintain?
Pavilions are made of stable materials designed for permanent outdoor use:
-
Metal frame (e.g., steel or cast iron): very stable, durable, and weather-resistant
-
Fixed tarpaulin: weatherproof, robust, and suitable for permanent use
-
Without roofing: easy to maintain as there are no additional materials
Tip: The tarpaulin can be cleaned and replaced if necessary to renew its appearance or function.
How large should a pavilion be?
The appropriate size depends on how the pavilion will be used:
- For seating groups or tables: plan enough space for furniture and freedom of movement
- For lounge areas: choose a slightly larger footprint for comfort and openness
- In the garden: adjust the size to the available space and proportions
Tip: Plan enough space so that the pavilion doesn't feel cramped.
How do I securely and permanently fix a pavilion?
Secure fastening is crucial for stability and longevity:
-
Manufacturer's recommendation: embed posts in concrete or use a spot foundation for maximum hold
-
Alternative: ground anchor plates or post shoes for solid ground
-
Suitable subsurfaces: concrete or comparably stable surfaces
-
Not suitable: wooden planks or tiles on sand, gravel, or loose ground – even with large slabs
Tip: Stable ground fastening ensures safety in wind and permanently reliable use.
