The pavilion itself has been known since antiquity. It was a free-standing small building, which was usually freely accessible and often had a round or hexagonal shape with a dome as a roof. In modern Europe, the pavilion became very popular during the Baroque period and decorated many gardens and parks of noble families. Even today, you will find many garden pavilions, which are no longer made of stone, but made of fabric and built using a zusammensteckbaren linkage and brought into shape. In addition to the conventional pavilions, folding gazebos are becoming increasingly popular.

A folding or folding gazebo differs from the traditional garden pavilions with its innovative plug-in system and well thought-out folding technology, which makes setting up and dismantling much easier and quicker. The linkage is already prepared and does not have to be painstakingly sorted and put together in individual parts. Since all parts of the linkage are already connected, no single part can be lost. The construction of a folding pavilion is almost self-explanatory and also makes it easy for the inexperienced in a short time. Incidentally, its functionality is similar to the simple models with the conventional plug-in system.

A conventional pavilion is usually cheaper in comparison and, thanks to the more old-fashioned plug-in system, also more stable than a newer one Folding gazebo , Nevertheless, these newer models are becoming increasingly popular. This comes next to the simplified assembly and disassembly also because of the new materials, which today are thanks to a special coating and the sealed seams water tight or water-repellent.

As the private pavilions for the garden are often used as a shelter during a downpour, the good piece should of course protect from water. But beware! Weatherproof is not the same as water repellent or water tight! But what exactly is the difference?
A weatherproof pavilion should always protect against strong sunlight and rain. However, it does not always prevent heavy or prolonged rainfall. It can come to licking and dripping areas under the roof or on the side walls, especially the seams.
A waterproof pavilion is the cheapest and not provided with a special coating. His fabric is usually only impregnated. Therefore, it is not surprising that these models can not protect against prolonged or prolonged rain.
A water-repellent gazebo is the cheapest and not provided with a special coating. His fabric is usually only impregnated. Therefore, it is not surprising that these models can not protect against prolonged or prolonged rainfall.

When buying garden pavilions, in addition to the tightness, you should also pay attention to the processing of the seams and the quality in general. Ask yourself a few questions before buying and choose the right model accordingly. Think about the size you need. Is an open pavilion sufficient or should it be closed on the sides? Also make sure that the design suits you and your garden. Because ultimately he should give you pleasure for several years.

Conclusion
A pavilion for the garden is becoming increasingly popular. It is nevertheless a place of retreat and calmness in our hectic and stressful time. However, the construction of a stable garden pavilion made of wood or stone is a structural measure and is permitted in Germany on private land only if it is approved by the building authority. For a building permit, however, you need many documents such as the site plan of the cadastral office and architectural drawings and statistical calculations by an architect. This can be expensive and take a lot of time. A good alternative is therefore pavilions made of fabric, which can be quickly assembled and dismantled by means of linkage. So-called folding pavilions are becoming increasingly popular because they are child’s play to build and are completely waterproof thanks to the new material.
