Limited on Outdoor Living Space in the City?

Finding a house with ample garden space in most cities can prove to be quite difficult. For those that do have some space it is important to get creative and make the space work for you. We all spend too much time cooped up inside which is why no matter how small your outdoor area, you should make this an area you can relax and retract to.

The British climate can be a major factor in ignoring gardens, particularly small ones, as it’s often hard to see how you can enjoy it without installing a structure (shelter) that eats up the space and takes away that open airy feeling. It is time to think beyond the box and think about another solution that will help give shelter as and when it is needed to the outdoor area without being a permanent fixture.

A retractable patio awning is the ideal solution to provide flexible shelter from the elements whilst not taking up any space. These garden awnings are fixed to the facade of your property and extend over the terrace operated via remote control, creating an instant barrier to the unwelcome elements. Retracting back into a cassette casing when it is not needed, provides a neat hideaway for the solution along with protecting it from inclement weather. With an extensive choice of hardware colours, along with infinite choice of fabrics you can really create your own unique design that will breathe back life into your garden.
