How to make the most of your garden awning
We may all be spending more time at home but that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on all the joys of summer. A garden awning will enhance your outside space and allow you to spend more time doing the things you love safely – and from the comfort of your own home! Our garden shading experts share just a few ways you can use your awning to really get the most out of it.
The perfect al-fresco dining spot
One of the most popular spots for installing garden awnings is above doors leading out onto a patio or decking. The awning creates a sheltered area that’s perfect for positioning your outside table and chairs to ensure you, your friends and family are protected from bright sunshine or passing showers when enjoying an al-fresco feast. Awnings are also ideal for shading the inside of your home, helping to protect your belongings from sun damage and keep the room nice and cool in warm weather.
Sunbathe in comfort and safety
One of the best things about summer is being able to relax in the sunshine with a spot of sunbathing, enjoying a good book or catching up on the latest box set. However, spending long periods of time exposed to the sun is bad for our health and when the heat rises, it can become very uncomfortable. When you have an awning however, you have complete control over your shade so instead of having to move inside, you can continue to unwind in your garden in safety and comfort.
Create an outside bar for the ultimate garden party
Become the envy of all your friends and turn your garden into the go-to al-fresco party destination by building an outside bar under your awning. Whether it’s a standalone bar or part of a larger dining experience, positioning it under your awning will protect the equipment (and you as bar tender) from the elements and means you can continue to safely serve up a storm whatever the weather. Why not add some fairy lights and a sound system for the ultimate garden party?
Add accessories to keep the fun going
The al-fresco fun doesn’t have to stop when the sun goes down or a dark cloud threatens to spoil your enjoyment with a shower. At Broadview, you can upgrade your awning by installing a variety of fabulous accessories that will enable you to continue using your awning long into the night or when the sky clouds over. Integrated LED lights and heating are ideal for creating a warm and inviting atmosphere while screens will protect you even further from the elements.
