How to make the most of your garden in the colder weather
As the colder weather creeps in we often spend less and less time out in our gardens reaping the benefits of nature. So, our experienced shading solution experts have put together a list of ways you can still make the most of your garden even through winter.
Choose an awning or patio cover with built in heaters
One of the best ways to combat cold toes and fingers is to invest in a garden awning or patio canopies to create a wonderful seating area sheltered from the elements. If you opt to have integrated heaters built in, your protected space becomes even more cosy and warm so even on the coldest day, you and your family and friends can sit outside, sipping hot chocolate and enjoying the crisp autumn afternoons and evenings.
Add lighting to your garden
With the night’s drawing in it can seem our time spent outside is limited by the diminishing daylight but if you have integrated LED lights included with your patio cover, you’ll be able to stay outside bathed in cosy light for as long as you want. And, if you’ve also added heaters, you’ll really be able to create a beautifully comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. Why not string up some outdoor fairy lights around railings, trees or bushes for added style and light?
Firepits provide warmth and entertainment
To really heat things up even on the coldest of winter days, mount a fire pit or chimenea in your garden. They come in a range of styles and sizes so you can match it perfectly to your taste and available space. As well as providing wonderful warmth on a chilly evening, fire pits are perfect for gathering around family and friends to toast marshmallows.
Screens enclose you completely
Of course, to really defeat the cold weather, add roller screens or sliding glass to your awning or patio canopy to create a fantastic garden pod room that's totally protected from the elements.
