Having outdoor living spaces is great, as long as you can use them. The thing is, during the summer the days can get pretty hot sitting in the sun, and rain can ruin an outdoor get together even faster. The thing is, depending on your location,
your backyard, and the local weather, you can find a solution to create livable and pleasant spaces in your backyard despite the rain or sun. To help you get started, and to find the right solution for you, here are some great ideas for shade and cover you can incorporate into your outdoor living space.
Shade Awnings and Shade Umbrellas
Two of the most simple things to help create a functional outdoor space, these two basically work the same way. You put them up and they block the direct sun or protect you from a downpour. Many awnings are made to be a simple installation over your deck or patio area. Professional installation is a great idea for these types of things to ensure they are put together and work properly. After that, many are made to be easy to put up and put down depending on your needs. Shade umbrellas are a great choice for people who don’t want something permanent or something attached to their home. Many umbrellas are incorporated into the design of outdoor tables that come with seating.
Pavilions
A gorgeous addition to your yard that has the added benefit of being useful, pavilions are a great choice for people who have some extra room in their budget. Depending on your choice of materials, the size, and what building company you go with (vs. building it yourself) can all impact the price range you can be expecting. There are also temporary, movable pavilion options that are typically made from fabric on a metal frame. Pavilions offer cover, shade, and protection from the elements, all the while adding some interest and depth to your yard.
Outdoor Drapes And Coverings
If you have a covered deck and are looking for some privacy as well as some protection from the wiles of nature, installing some outdoor drapes around your deck may be just what you need. These can be very simple to install and quickly change the appearance of your deck into a luxurious get away with a few simple things. You can choose the appropriate curtain rod for your decor style and then purchase drapes specifically made for the outdoors to hang on them. This gives you the option to make things more private as well by pulling the curtains on an intimate or romantic evening.
