14 designs shown

These are illustrative concept designs created to show style options. They are not completed ClickBina projects. We build gazebos, and your gazebo or pergola is sized and quoted to your own garden, roof choice and local rules.

How to choose a gazebo or pergola design

Decide first what the structure is for. If you want to sit out in the rain, eat outdoors or protect a BBQ, you need a gazebo or a pergola with a solid cover. If you want filtered shade, a frame for climbers or a lighter look over a deck, an open pergola is enough. Then match the frame to the upkeep you will really do.

• Aluminium for the lowest upkeep: it does not rot or attract termites, and suits modern houses.
• Chengal or other hardwood for a warm, premium look that lasts if it is oiled regularly.
• Meranti or softwood for a natural look on a smaller budget, with yearly treatment.
• Steel for long, slim spans, with anti-rust treatment.
• Brick or concrete pillars for a permanent focal point on a large lot.

Place it where it will be used: near the kitchen door for dining, beside the pool for lounging, or at the far end of the lawn as a view from the house. Keep it clear of drains and leave room to walk round it.

Roof coverings for a Malaysian garden structure

The roof decides how the structure copes with our weather. ClickBina's gazebo cost guide notes that a minimum 15–20 degree roof pitch is needed to shed heavy rain quickly, with gutters and downpipes to carry the water away from the structure and the garden.

Practical limits to check before you commit

• Approval. The gazebo cost guide says a permanent masonry gazebo may need a submission to your local council, while smaller, lighter aluminium or timber structures on landed property generally do not. The renovation permit guide notes that most councils require a permit for any permanent overhead structure attached to the building. In a gated or strata scheme, get the management's written consent too.
• Footings. Posts should sit on galvanised bases cast in concrete footings, not straight in the soil, to keep rot and termites out.
• Rainwater. Every solid roof needs a gutter and downpipe that discharge to a drain, away from the house wall.
• Smoke and gas. A BBQ under a roof needs open sides and height so smoke can escape.
• Lean-to shade. If you want shade fixed to the house wall instead, that is an awning; see the awning design gallery.

What these gazebo and pergola designs cost

ClickBina's gazebo cost guide puts a prefab aluminium kit at RM6,000 – RM12,000, a custom aluminium frame at RM12,000 – RM20,000, a meranti or softwood timber frame at RM8,000 – RM15,000, a chengal hardwood gazebo at RM15,000 – RM30,000 and a brick or concrete pillar gazebo at RM25,000 – RM55,000+ (indicative Klang Valley ranges for 2026). Adding a BBQ area to a gazebo is RM3,000 – RM12,000, and a simple sail shade is about RM800 – RM2,500.

Pergolas are quoted per job, because the frame material, the span and the roof cover vary so much from one design to the next.
