An awning will not only allow you to enjoy the fresh outdoors all year round but it will also create a perfect ambience for your barbecues. The fact that awnings can accommodate different types of weather make it a fine choice for homeowners who are looking to entertain throughout the year, even when the British weather plays up!
So what do you need to know before buying an awning?
Well, firstly there are many different types to choose from. You can have a traditional awning, a retractable, awning, butterfly, remote or something completely different all together such as a Weinor Terrazza roof. These are not your typical awning, they’re more of a ‘patio roof’. You can enjoy your garden until well into autumn and it will keep you well sheltered from the wind and other elements. Your patio furniture can remain outside without being damaged but the appeal of Weinor’s patio roof is its elegant construction, attractively shaped design and high durability.
Is this awning ideal for barbecues?
Yes, it’s the perfect cover in many ways because it is not a fabric awning in the traditional sense. It has a glass roof so you get beautiful sky views, but we’d always advise you position the barbecue just off to the side to make sure the smoke doesn’t get trapped and ruin your atmosphere. When you sit beneath this kind of awning, or any for that matter, you know you can enjoy your evening if the weather takes a turn for the worst, which is often the case in the UK.
That said, you really don’t have to spend a fortune these days to get superior coverage from rain and sun, and with a simple, small retractable awning, you’ll get just what you need to enjoy a barbecue in the UK. Awnings are created so you can enjoy the weather all year round, but they also help protect your furniture, so there is less chance of them fading in the sun. There are some other features you may want to consider if you’re looking to create the perfect space, and having adequate seating, as well as a table is ideal. That way, the whole family can enjoy the delicious barbecued food together. It’s also important to place this furniture on a nice and stable surface, such as patio tiles or a decking. Either of these options are ideal, and will bring style, charm and personality to your garden.
So these are just a few ways in which you can create the perfect outdoor space for a barbecue, but we certainly feel hat having an awning and the right garden furniture is a big part of it. The more your garden is built around entertainment, the better your space will be, and if you’re the type of individual who wants to enjoy their garden all year round, an awning is essential.
