A garden structure providing shade and architectural interest, enhanced by the addition of mesh or screening to create an enclosed outdoor living space. These structures integrate the open-air feel of a traditional framework with protection from insects and the elements. For example, a homeowner might choose to install one adjacent to a patio to create a comfortable area for dining and relaxation.
The value of such additions lies in their versatility. They extend the usability of outdoor spaces by mitigating common annoyances such as mosquitoes and harsh sunlight. Historically, similar structures have provided both aesthetic appeal and practical function in gardens and landscapes across various cultures, evolving over time to incorporate modern materials and construction techniques.
