Thinking about building a gazebo after my neighbor Ron changed my mind
My neighbor Ron stopped by last weekend while I was digging post holes for a pergola and told me I was making a mistake because the afternoon sun would still hit my back deck. He showed me the 10x12 gazebo he built three years ago with a solid roof and said it dropped his patio temp by 15 degrees. Has anyone here regretted not going with more shade coverage when they had the chance?

Regret it every single afternoon from June through August, honestly.

I actually see it differently because airflow matters way more than shade in my climate. I built a pergola with a partial louvered roof and those summer breezes keep things way cooler than Ron's solid gazebo does for him. Have you thought about what the humidity and typical wind patterns are like in your area before deciding?
