A pergola can be so much more than a summer garden feature to add an area of interest on those gloriously weather perfect days. Shade from the sunshine is one element a roof can supply of course, butto keep yourself dry when it rains is another consideration. The organising of any kind of celebratory event using your gardens is precarious on British soil because of our very unreliable weather system, with thought and planning this can all be overcome.
Why invest in garden living?
- After lockdowns following the world-wide pandemic it became clear we need to stabilise our outdoor environments so that they can be enjoyed whatever the met office throws our way and adding a pergola is an element which became incredibly popular. Adding a pergola roof is just the ticket to ensuring yours becomes a place to be regardless of the elements.
- The realisation that life paces can be slower became inviting and having our own special place to be in the outside more important than ever. Your pergola has become a real statement room rather than a garden ornament and maximising its space is a clear next step.
What else should we be doing?
By the addition of a gutter for the pergola you can make steps towards ensuring its enjoyable use all year round. When it rains the guttering will have you covered, protecting it for the more fair weather days when perhaps pergola sail shades can be fitted. This will add a dynamic you may not have thought of, extra space within the space and shade from the heat and the midday sun when it arrives. They say that only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in it but we are learning… This is how to do it.
