Is this called a pavilion or a canopy in American English and Canadian English?

I'm sure one of our American or Canadian friends will be along soon but, just in case you didn't know, in British English, that's a gazebo.

I knew it's called a gazebo in BrE. That's why I didn't ask. But thank you.

It's a gazebo to this AmE speaker. It's not merely a canopy because it has those mosquito curtains tied back at the corner posts.

And pavilion would be plain incorrect?

Gazebo to me, too.

A canopy is like a tent, but only a roof. No sides. And fabric, not hard materials.

A pavilion is a permanent structure, usually found in parks. Cement floor, solid, usually wood, construction and roof. Open on sides. Often with electric service and maybe bathrooms built in.

People rent them to hold parties.

@Idk2222 please don't clutter the forum with posts saying thank you. Use the Thank button.

Thank you.

And, @Idk2222, when you do write "Thank you" as part of a longer post, remember it's a complete sentence so must end with a full stop.
