Brilliant ideas for your garden structure or awning

Stylish and practical, patio structures, awnings and pergolas are all fantastic ways to enhance your garden but how do you make the most of your outside space once it's installed? The specialists at Broadview, a UK leader in garden shading solutions, share their brilliant ideas on how to use each product.
Soak up the sun with a louvred roof pergola
A louvered roof pergola is a stunning freestanding outdoor structure with a roof that can tilt open or closed at the touch of a button. Though simplistic in its design, a pergola’s elegant structure and timeless style enhances a garden and creates the perfect sunbathing spot in the summer. Add integrated heaters and LED lighting and you can use the pergola in all four seasons.
Ideas for using your pergola
• Sheltered sunbathing spot
• Perfect for hot tubs
• Al-fresco seating area
• Unique garden party venue
Extend your living space with a garden structure
If your home is a little cramped or you long to spend more time in the garden, installing a garden structure will give you all the extra space you need while providing the best of both indoor and outdoor living. That’s because you can add a retracting roof and sliding walls made from floor to ceiling glass which create a perfectly enclosed or open space, depending on your needs (and the weather).
Ideas for using your garden structure
• Extend your living space
• Create an extra dining room
• Year-round garden pod
• Stargazing sleepovers
A garden awning creates the ideal al-fresco dining spot
If you’re looking to create a shady spot in your garden but want something a little more low-key than a pergola or garden structure, an awning is the perfect choice. Tucked away neatly in a discreet cassette, the awning canopy can be extended or retracted in a matter of moments. It’s a popular shading solution for those with patios or decking directly outside their home and provides the perfect place for you and your loved ones to enjoy al-fresco dining long into the night.
Ideas for using your garden awning
• Al-fresco dining
• Shade the inside of your home
• Ideal for BBQs
• Late summer drinks
