If you’re wondering whether a pergola or other outdoor structure will add value to your home, the short answer is yes. Our garden shading experts explain.

How pergolas add value to your home

They create additional living space

Creating an outdoor living space is a fantastic way to maximise the appeal of your home. Not only will a pergola increase the level of enjoyment you get from your garden, but it will increase the appeal of your home to prospective buyers as well. Outdoor space is high on the list of what buyers are looking for, so a garden that is functional but beautiful is sure to tick plenty of boxes! 

They make your garden useable all year round

Pergolas can be customised with heating, lights and even sliding glass panels, to create a garden hideaway that can be enjoyed whatever the weather. A beautiful outdoor living space that’s versatile and inviting is going to be extremely appealing to any potential buyers. If buyers can visualise the garden as a space they’ll be able to get maximum enjoyment from, it will definitely be a huge selling point.  

They make your garden more attractive

An attractive, well maintained outdoor space is likely to be a huge draw for potential buyers. A stylish, contemporary pergola will become a distinctive feature in your garden, while creating a welcoming setting for al fresco dining, family games and entertaining. With a range of colour options, you can ensure your pergola perfectly complements the style of your home. 

Pergolas have so much more potential than most people realise, by providing both an attractive shading solution and valuable additional living space. By creating a versatile outdoor area that can be enjoyed whatever the weather, they can add value to your home should you ever decide to sell – not to mention years of enjoyment for you in the meantime!
