Talk:Tag:shelter type=gazebo
vs. Chinese pavilion
Please mention differences vs. Chinese pavilion vs. pergola.
The page says "A gazebo is a pavilion structure" – based on that definition, it's the same as shelter_type=pavilion and redundant, so what exactly are the key differences? That shelter_type=pavilion is a solid building with completely closable walls while gazebo is a minimalistic building whose walls are open to a big extend? Further aspects?
What's exactly the differences between gazebo and shelter_type=picnic_shelter? From current state of the wiki pages, it appears to me as if a picknic table & benches must be present in shelter_type=picnic_shelter but must be absent in gazebo. Is that correct?
What's exactly the differences between gazebo and shelter_type=weather_shelter? From current state of the wiki pages, it appears to me as if shelter_type=weather_shelter is an as light building as a gazebo but with some closed/closable walls like a shelter_type=pavilion.
- shelter_type=* is a mess. Gazebo is the most descriptive. "Pavilion" is the worst, as there is the totally different building=pavilion . Even for the shelter_type=pavilion described in Talk:Tag:building=pavilion#Strange_definition , it's still too confusing as noted in Tag:building=pavilion for shelter_type=picnic_shelter or shelter_type=gazebo .
shelter_type=picnic_shelter is a function, that implies there should be eg tables and chairs. shelter_type=gazebo is a structural form. They are orthogonal, mixing different aspects. A small "picnic shelter" can be a gazebo structure. I don't see any reason why a gazebo can't have tables and chairs.
