      What should you put on top of your pergola for shade

      By January 12, 2023 No Comments

      If you like to enjoy your garden space not just a place to potter, but more an extension to your home then a pergola has probably already been in your mind’s eye, if not installed as a feature quite yet. Adding to the pergola you dream of you could think about creating an even more capable space by adding something to its roof, making it accessible all weathers.

      Why add a shaded roof to your pergola?

      • A retractable pergola canopy in the UK is undoubtedly required as we can never bank on glorious sunshine. Yet we shouldn’t accept outdoor living as a no, no when the weather hits a low. Living outside as a bonus to our inside living is incredibly fashionable so we should just go for it and make it more accessible. These days it’s not just BBQ days which invite al fresco dining. Pizza ovens and garden kitchens are all the rage and yet with rain on the agenda for so many British summer days, let alone those in the other seasons, mean we need to plan accordingly.

      • Choosing the right type of roof or your pergola will compliment other choices you’ve made for your home and with many options there’s something for everyone. Glass or fabric retractable roofs will ask you to enjoy your space in different ways so chat with the Designer Shade Solutions team who can set you on the right pathway for finding the right choice for you. 

      • All you have to do now is simply concentrate on all that wonderful outdoor living, pizza making, lolling under the stars or whatever other wonderful ways you find the outdoors enchants you into stepping within it.

      What else can we do to make our outside space inviting?

      Internal and external zip blinds can be installed on your windows to make your home more intertwined with outdoor living and that’s definitely an element you should consider. This will also benefit those days when outside and help to maximise the enjoyment. Here we can advise further, delving deeply into what will make your space the most usable, we can even offer a wind resistant parasolfor dining at your table, it is our job to help you realise the possibilities of your gardens and homes, creating a merge between the two which gifts you the best of the outside with all the comfort indoor living.
