Summer-proof your garden or terrace with these tips

Awnings and pergolas are an excellent solution for creating shade in your garden or on the terrace. They come in a range of styles and offer flexible shade options and protection against various weather conditions.

As well as practical awnings and canopies, a wooden pergola with climbing plants such as vines, climbing roses or wisteria create a green oasis of relaxation. However, these offer limited protection against rain and wind, require regular maintenance and offer less shade than other options. Also, wooden pergolas often take up more space and this can be a disadvantage for smaller gardens or terraces. This is not the case with a sun canopy or awning.

Discover the versatility of glass or wooden decorative walls for your pergola or garden awning! They offer enhanced privacy, protection against wind for greater comfort, and aesthetic appeal. They also provide acoustic insulation, the option to define specific rooms, and can be used to hide unattractive elements. You can even opt for built-in or built-on screens with your awning. And, as the sun goes down? No problem – lower the screen a little and protect yourself against sunlight and damaging UV rays when the sun is low in the sky.

An awning offers extra privacy when you need it. By choosing a valance or vario valance, you can keep the rest of the world out with a screen that rolls down on the awning’s extension pole. This protects you from curious glances, keeps the sun at bay and creates additional shade on your terrace.
