With holidaying abroad proving more challenging this year due to the ongoing pandemic, now’s the time to inject your garden with a late summer Mediterranean feel to make up for missing out.

The rise of the 2020 staycation has seen a dramatic upturn in the number of people spending time upscaling their outdoor space. Be it creating an inviting alfresco kitchen area for entertaining, blissfully tranquil seating areas, or simply ensuring perimeter fencing is robust enough to eliminate any unwanted prying eyes and let children and pets roam free. Ongoing social distancing rules mean ‘garden living’ is more popular than ever, as it extends your living space, enabling you to continue to socialise safely. This can be easily achieved by creating dedicated zones in your garden to bring an indoor feel outdoors, expanding into a new exterior ‘room’.

Consider a protective shelter with walls, or a shade structure such as a single pergola, which will enable you to enjoy your outdoor area all year round. Designed using our popular Venetian panels for the sides and roof, the Retreat Garden Shelter embraces the Mediterranean look, especially when the sun is shining through, casting dramatic patterns of light and shade.

Alternatively, double pergolas are perfect for defining a large entertaining space while remaining light and airy. Double pergola sets can be used to make feature areas for sunbathing, or relaxing and unwinding in the shade provided by additional roof elements or side panels.

Corner pergolas are another eye-catching garden feature, adding interest to specific parts of the garden. Like all types of pergolas, they can be made to fit any garden, large or small. Each of these pergola designs is made all the more inviting when combined with climbing plants or warm light features.

Not only does a pergola offer shelter from the natural elements, it will also add a sense of structure to your outdoor space, becoming a natural focal point in your garden. Perhaps as an attractive walkway or as a decorative screen.

Pergolas allow for limitless design options once the structure is in place. Let your creativity run wild and customise them with whatever you please, transforming your space into a very special oasis of calm.
