Pavilion - A journey through time
Even though the construction of the pavilion appeared in Egyptian gardens around 5,000 years ago, the term "pavilion" is not documented until the 18th century. At that time, the term stood for a large, square (war) tent, is borrowed from the French and ultimately comes from the Latin word "papillio", which means "butterfly". In a broad sense, the lightweight structure made of non-rigid building materials is compared to the flapping of a butterfly's wings. Another transfer is said to come from the fact that the folded ends at the tent exit resembled the appearance of a butterfly. But even in late Latin, pavilion stands for the term "tent" and is usually found in a park or garden and is associated with a larger structure. However, it can also be a protruding part of a building that stands out from the rest of the building with a domed roof or a smaller new building attached to a main building, which is familiar from schools or hospitals.
Pavilion - A journey through different countries
The pavilion has a long tradition in Asia. In Japan, India and Thailand, the shape of the pavilion can often be found in sacred buildings. In Buddhist temples, the pavilion is used in a variety of ways and is very popular outside temple complexes. In Europe, the pavilion often appears in architecture during the Baroque period in gardens and parks of the nobility. It was also used as a ..
- ... Outbuilding of a castle
- ... A vantage point
- ... Resting place
The pavilion later emancipated itself from the aristocracy and was also used by the wealthy bourgeoisie. From the 19th century onwards, the garden pavilion found its way into private gardens. This has not changed to this day - because it is and remains a favourite accessory for garden lovers.
The pavilion in the present day
Today, this term is increasingly used for a shelter that serves as protection from the sun or rain in a variety of ways. For example, there are party tents that are also generally referred to as pavilions. These are often used in the garden or at events as protection from the weather, such as heavy rain or direct sunlight. A pavilion is also often used for birthday parties in the garden or as a hospitality tent. The basic requirement for this is that the pavilion is waterproof. The generic term pavilion can also be found in the word folding pavilion. These are tents that can be set up and taken down quickly. This type of pavilion is often used as market stalls, for festivals or at racing events. These pavilions also serve as an alternative to party tents.
Buy a gazebo from a specialist company
The classic garden pavilion is often found on the patio or in Germany's allotment gardens. These are often set up and used permanently over several months and must therefore have the following properties, just like all other pavilions at Stabilezelte:
Weatherproof
Robust

Durable
Furthermore, an unusual, timeless and tasteful look plays an important role, as it also has to be pleasing to the eye. But no matter which gazebo you ultimately decide on: The most important thing is that you find the right product that you want. We will be happy to help you with your search and give you expert advice on our various models. So don't hesitate to ask us; we will be happy to help you.
How do I make my gazebo weatherproof?
How you make your gazebo weatherproof depends on the type of gazebo. Wooden gazebos require regular maintenance with wood preservative. Folding gazebos with waterproof and UV-resistant fabric do not need any extra care, but must be dry again before dismantling to prevent mould and mildew stains from forming during storage. You should also make gazebos windproof if necessary and secure them with tension ropes, weights, pegs and ground anchors. Other gazebos such as fixed aluminium and steel gazebos are already weatherproof without any special care.
How can I secure my gazebo to the patio?
You can either attach a gazebo to the patio with feet - or you can brace it to alternative fixed points such as sand-filled weighting bags or trees. Steel and aluminium gazebos should be bolted to the patio.
Can the pavilion be left standing in winter?
In general, we also sell a pavilion that is weatherproof as "not winterproof". Please bear in mind that a gazebo can always be damaged by excessive snow loads and excessively low temperatures. In principle, the manufacturer offers a guarantee down to -5°C for PE and polyester material and down to -20°C for PVC. We have many customers who use their gazebo in winter and have had very positive experiences, but they do so at their own risk. The "ROMANCE" model is winter-proof and can withstand snow loads of up to 100 kg/m².
How expensive is a gazebo?
Depending on the requirements and size of the pavilion, prices vary between 40 and 4000 euros; particularly high-quality pavilions for commercial use are considerably more expensive. If the pavilion is only to be used for a party at the weekend - when the weather is fine - an inexpensive model will suffice. For stationary use in the garden, a waterproof and stable design is essential, even if the purchase costs are higher.
In what sizes can you buy a gazebo?
There are gazebos in countless sizes. We have a total of 29 different sizes in our range. We stock gazebos in sizes from 2x2 m to 6x12 m. The most popular pavilions are 3x4, 3x6 and 4x6 metres. Event organisers, caterers and other companies like to opt for our giant pavilions, such as 5x5, 5x10 or 6x12 m
