Are Pergolas with Roof the Next Must-Have Outdoor Trend – After these strange couple of years spent mostly at home, many of us started to look at our homes differently and started to appreciate our outdoor spaces more. My garden space was a true piece of heaven during the lockdown months, and it has become my favourite part of the house ever since.
Are Pergolas with Roof the Next Must-Have Outdoor Trend
Spending time outdoors gave me a break from my busy life and constant screen time. It gave me a chance to meet with friends and family whilst being socially distant. My garden area truly became part of my home since lockdown and not just something that was there outside my house.
With all of this in mind, I wanted to ensure I could make the most out of my outdoor space rain or shine – this is when I stumbled upon pergolas with roofs, an outdoor trend that I think will be a must-have in all outdoor spaces (not just mine!). I first saw a pergola with roof at Designer Shade Solutions and now I may or may not be seeing retractable pergolas in my dreams.
What are pergolas with roofs?
Whether you are familiar with pergolas with retractable roofs or only know about traditional pergolas, I thought it would be best to get it out of the way and explain the ins and outs of retractable roof pergolas. These are modern versions of traditional pergolas that help you maximise your outdoor space and even experience this area of your home no matter the weather.
As Buckets of Tea explains, “Modern pergolas feature an innovative retractable roof system. The retractable roof can be left open if the weather is sunny and warm or closed, if it starts to rain. Some retractable roofs also feature roof slabs that can be tilted to offer some shade.”
The benefits of retractable pergolas.
- Extend your living space
- Create multi-purpose areas
- Provide shelter to outdoor dining areas
- Maximise your outdoor space
“These pergolas with retractable roofs are incredibly versatile. Not only can they be installed anywhere in your patio, garden, terrace as self-supporting structures but these can also be attached to your property as an extension to your current space.” Says Fizzy Peaches.
When installed in the middle of gardens, modern pergolas can act as the centrepiece of your outdoor space or as a shelter for specific outdoor spaces, such as outdoor dining areas. These garden pergolas with roofs can also extend your current living space when attached to your home. Please keep in mind it is always recommended to have this type of roofing installed by a professional roofing contractor.
The ultimate outdoor retreat.
I’ve been looking to take time off social media and screens, in general, more and more recently. I know that the internet is part of my life (and my job!) but I believe that everyone should take a break and relax without being constantly fed information and ads. So, I wanted to create a space that would allow me to have some me time and enjoy time with myself without distractions – an ultimate outdoor retreat seems like the perfect solution.
The ideal outdoor retreat for me would be a wooden pergola with roof and glass sides to have the comfort of an indoor space that I could use all year round but still enjoy the outdoor views of my garden. A Mum Reviews mentions that one of the main advantages of Designer Shade Solutions’ pergolas is the fact that these are fully customisable. You might want a pergola with heating, a pergola with lighting or all of the above – you can have it all with a modern pergola.
