Established trees can be a really nice addition to a garden so you should feel lucky if you have mature shrubs and trees in your garden. Okay, so they may not be much to look at right now and they do take up some space, but you can decorate them in style. If you have trees towering over your garden, you may want to consider adding fairy lights to the branches. They’ll then be sparking well into the evenings and it means you always have a beautiful feature outside of your window. You can also decorate a tree with Christmas decorations during the winter months; making it a place Santa and his Reindeers would love. It’s a nice option if you have children in the family and many people do this to conifers and other similar shrubs. Having swinging chairs or tyres fitted to a chunky tree is a great option for kids too and though this isn’t necessarily a decoration, it will give the tree a fun personality.

Patio awnings outstretch to provide a roof to an outdoor area. They offer protection from adverse wind or sun conditions. The awnings provide you shade from the sun’s heat while you are relaxing outdoors, they keep you safe from damaging UV rays but at the same time, you get to enjoy the outdoor sunny feel. Patio awnings also provide you shelter from the unexpected showers .Awnings are not to be taken down at the end of summer rather the frames remain standing and the awnings can be withdrawn at the owners wish.

The adjacent in-house room is able to get a natural cooling from awnings because they stop reaching the glass panels .The patio awning thus go a long way in protecting furnishings from getting bleached by the sun.

Awnings are made of a folding canopy rolled around a roller tube that is attached to folding arms. The arms contain springs that attach to tear resistant steel cables. These arms push against the lead rail extending the awning and keeping the fabric tightly stretched. (more…)

We recently had a porch installed on our house and it’s actually one of the best investments we’ve made and we’re going to tell you why.

1. It keeps the rain of our back – Okay this is a rather obvious one but it makes a huge difference when you step out of the car and spend 5 minutes fiddling with your keys. We no longer walk into the house soaking wet.
2. We also find the keys easier too, and that’s because we’ve had lights and sensors fitted to our porch. As soon as we step up to the porch the lights come on, and it’s a great deterrent for burglars.
3. It looks fantastic. Our porch is constructed of wood with the same tiles on top that we’ve used on our house’s roof. It makes ours stand out form those around us and I’m sure it’s going to add value to our home.
