How to create shade on your terrace?
6
In summer, the sun can be fatal. For your plants. For you. A sunny terrace is rather pleasant but when the temperatures rise, you must be able to protect yourself.
Your terrace is facing south, without shaded area to shelter you? Would you like to enjoy your garden without fear of sunburn and other skin problems? We offer practical and aesthetic solutions to build artificial shade zones. Exit the traditional parasol!
Pamper your terrace
Are you lucky enough to own a small plot of land on which you have installed a terrace? This space, conducive to relaxation and moments of sharing with family or friends, is a real asset. Direct extension of the house on the garden, the terrace is a real place of life in its own right as soon as the beautiful days return.
To take full advantage of this privileged outdoor space, throughout the day, from spring to the last beautiful days of autumn, think about arranging it.
The pergola, the ally of your comfort
The pergola is available to infinity: shape of the structure, location, dimensions, materials, motorized or not, everything is possible, everything is possible!
Leaning or riding, the structure invites itself in different places of the garden. Depending on the style of your main building, or depending on the decor you want to develop outside, you have the choice between several materials such as wood, wrought iron, concrete or PVC. Same thing with the finishing touches.
The little extra that makes the difference: let climbing plants and fragrant plants run along the structure for a 100% vegetable result and a total immersion in nature.
Do you like to customize the atmospheres and vary the decorations every year? Opt for a solid structure but a textile covering such as tarpaulin or waterproof fabric to cover the roof and sides of walls according to your desires.
The shade sail, as aesthetic as practical
The shade sail, initially reserved for the terraces of bars and restaurants, gradually appeared in the gardens of individuals. This outdoor protection is both a bulwark to the heat and the sun, but above all a great design accessory, to dress the sky of your garden.
Square or rectangular, this stretched canvas plays the role of giant parasol, suspended and floating above the terrace. Easy to install, it requires no fixed structure and can therefore be set up or uninstalled quickly, according to the needs and seasons.
The banne blind, classic or sophisticated
The installation is certainly more complex than the shade sail because it requires a wall attachment directly on the building. Long associated with the terraces of cafes in the south of France, the banne store is now making its revolution and is back in force, equipped and modern!
Now you have the choice of options and can equip your terrace with a motorized awning, able to detect the strength of the wind, or the rain, and retract without any intervention on your part! A real high-tech gadget oh how convenient. You will impress your guests, for sure!
And you, what solution will you choose?
