subject: Different Ways To Create Shade In Your Garden From Sail Shades To Gazebos [print this page] It is important to have an area within the garden that is dedicated to shade; it means in the summer months there is an area of your garden that you can enjoy. Most people like to have a shaded area where they can relax, eat and keep away from the hot midday sun. When deciding how to provide your garden with shade then it worth finding the product you want to use at the beginning of the year. Here in this article we look at sail shades, gazebos and other ways of keeping your garden cool.
The gazebo has always been a popular choice for the garden as it is portable and can be set up and taken down easily. It is usually a bit better suited to events like festivals than in a back garden as it does take up a lot of space and not all gazebos are waterproof. Yet one benefit of this product is that the gazebo allows people to walk freely underneath and out of it, which highlights why it is better suited to larger events. A gazebo cannot usually handle harsh weather so if you want something a bit more permanent in the garden it may not work as well.
Sail shades are a modern and recent development to garden shade, essentially sail shades are a large piece of canvas that is cut into a geometric shape. They are popular down to the fact they look aesthetically pleasing and do not take up to much space, which is ideal for all sizes of gardens. The concept of sail shades originally began in ancient Greece when sailors used the sails off their ships to keep the hot sun off them. Although the sail shades often are non permeable and do not protect from the rain they do offer a long term solution for keeping out of the sun.
A table umbrella is another very common shade solution that is found in British pubs everywhere. The umbrella is supported by the table and offers shade to those that sit around the table. The only problem with this being used in the garden is that is does rely on the table and you have to sit by the table in order to have shade. Some table umbrellas are rain proof though and if you love spending time in your garden whatever the weather then this option is perfect.
