Outdoor living
Gazebos & Pavilions in New Orleans, LA
Freestanding gazebos and pavilions for New Orleans yards: solid-roof shade, pool-side rooms, and pavilion kitchens built for wind.
A gazebo or pavilion is a room that happens to stand in the yard. Unlike a cover tied to the house, a freestanding structure lets you put shade exactly where the yard is best: beside the pool, under the oaks, or at the far end where the evening breeze comes through. We design and build both across the New Orleans metro.
Gazebo or Pavilion?
A gazebo is the classic form: a defined footprint, often octagonal or square, with a peaked roof and open sides. It reads as a destination, a place you walk to. A pavilion is broader and flatter, a solid-roof structure that shelters a dining table, a kitchen, or a full outdoor living room. If you are picturing furniture and a crowd, you are probably picturing a pavilion.
Built for the Yard It Stands In
Freestanding structures live or die on their footings. Our soil is soft delta ground, so we set posts in engineered footings sized for wind load, not fence-post concrete. The roof is framed and fastened for storm season, and we pull the permits your parish requires. That is the difference between a structure that shrugs off a squall and one that ends up in the neighbor’s yard.
Make It the Center of the Backyard
The best pavilions we build anchor a whole outdoor plan: a patio flowing out from the house, an outdoor kitchen under the roof, a fan turning overhead, and lighting that keeps the space alive after dark. Screens can close the sides in against mosquitoes, the same way we build screen rooms on attached covers.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does gazebos & pavilions cost in New Orleans?
Pricing depends on the size of the space, the materials you choose, and what the site needs for drainage and anchoring. We put all of it in a written estimate after a free on-site visit, before any work starts, and the price we quote is the price you pay.
How long does the project take?
Smaller projects finish in days; larger builds with covers, kitchens, or structural work take longer. We give you a firm timeline with your estimate, not a guess, and we hold to it.
Will it stand up to our weather?
That is the whole point of how we build. Storm season runs June through November here, so everything we install is anchored and engineered for wind, and we choose materials that handle humidity instead of soaking it up.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Big Easy Patios is a licensed and insured Louisiana contractor. We pull the permits your parish requires and put the full scope in writing, so there are no surprises mid-project.
