In this generation of compelling technology, many people feel the need to unplug from the hectic reality and reconnect back to nature. It is highly beneficial to our health and well-being to experience outdoor recreation even just at the comfort of your home garden.

It makes a great spot for your morning cup of coffee or scrumptious lunch without worrying about getting sunburned.

Check out this selection of garden shade structure ideas and enjoy your outdoor space with your family and guests even on the sunniest of days.

Awning

This style is mostly attached to a structure such as a house and can be operated either manually or motorised.
