Hello World! Welcome Friends! The long-awaited summer is here and now is the chance to spend more time in the garden enjoying the sun. Whether you’re gardening, enjoying a barbeque, throwing a party and completing an outdoor workout, we will all be spending more time outdoors. Now is a great time to get your garden ready for all your planned summer activities. There are many easy and simple ways to improve your garden, adding lighting, water features and other garden monuments can create a soothing and comfortable atmosphere.
Adding an area of shade is another great way to get more use out of your garden. Although the sun is enjoyable, direct heat can damage your skin and become the cause of serious ailments. A shade structure will protect your family from direct sunlight and UV rays while allowing you to still relax in the warmth. There are many ways of creating shade in your garden, including gazebos, parasols, awnings, shade sails, screens and pergolas. But did you know there are many other great uses for shaded areas apart from relaxing and sunbathing?
1. Turn it into an Outdoor Gym
Summer is a great time to set up an outdoor gym in your garden. The idea of a garden gym is perfect for those with hectic schedules and have to fit workouts around their free time. Driving to the gym after a busy day is difficult for many, and can prevent you from working out during the week. But having an awning or a shade sail installed in your garden can help you to turn the area into outdoor gym accessible round the clock without the need to even leave home.
A corner or a paved area in your garden can be easily transformed into a wonderful workout space or a fitness area under the sun with a shade which is a healthy way to enjoy the sunshine while exercising. Or you could even turn your garden into a cardio cabin using a shade. Now there will be no more excuses for skipping a session again!
2. Create a Stylish and Inviting Environment
Sail shades are reputed for transforming your outdoor environment, by enhancing the existing garden décor. They are highly rated by interior decorators and designers because of the multitude of benefits they bring along. Dull and uninteresting outdoors can be easily turned into lively and eye-catching areas with just the addition of a sail shade.
Garden sail shades are simple, stylish, yet versatile and are available in different designs, material and dimensions. These can be designed and customized to your exact measurements. The material used for making outdoor shade sails is designed to withstand extreme temperature and weather conditions and often can be left up all year round too.
3. Cooler Play Areas for Your Children
Summer is that time of year which is most enjoyed by people of all ages and kids are no exception. Children love to spend time outdoors, either playing or running around for fun. But too much heat can become dangerous. It’s important there’s a place to cool down while still being outdoors. Shade sails provide a cool and shaded area in your backyard for kids to relax and keep cool in the summer heat.
4. Beautiful Outdoor Dining Areas
In summer, you can create a shaded outdoor dining area within your garden or backyard with the use of a shade structure. Adding benches, tables, and chairs can make the shaded area a perfect place for outdoor dining with your family members and guests as well.
5. Perfect Garden Parties
You can create an attractive and inviting shelter using colorful shades to host beautiful garden parties. Whatever type of party or gathering you host in your garden in summer, a shade structure will keep your guests sheltered and cool.
Choosing the Right Shade for your Garden
There are several factors you should consider when purchasing a shade for your garden to make sure that you get the best results. You should decide whether a traditional type of shade or stylish modern design would suit your space best. There are many classic models, such as a parasol, pergola or awning. But if you are looking for something elegant, versatile and durable, then a shade sail serves right for your requirements.
You should also consider if you want to take the shade down during the cooler months, as not all structures offer this flexibility. And whether the color and material will work with the rest of your garden and home.
Whichever design you choose, garden shades are a great way of transforming your outside space into an attractive, entertaining and enjoyable area. With a wide range of designs and customizable options, you will surely find one that perfectly fits your needs, space and purpose.
