Made in the Shade: Stylish Shelter for Sunny Days.

Add stylish shade to your garden with a pergola or canopy.

As the summer sun starts to shine brighter, June is the perfect time to add stylish shade to your garden with a pergola or retractable canopy. These structures not only offer relief from direct sunlight, but also elevate the look and usability of patios, decks, or garden seating areas — turning them into inviting spaces for relaxing or entertaining.

A pergola is a beautiful way to define an outdoor zone, creating a sense of structure and shade without fully enclosing the space. Whether freestanding or attached to your home, a pergola can be customized with climbing plants, fabric drapes, or lighting to suit your garden style. It adds instant charm while offering shelter from the summer heat.

Retractable canopies or awnings offer a more flexible option. With the ability to extend or retract depending on the weather, they give you control over how much sun or shade you want — ideal for those unpredictable British summer days. They’re perfect for covering dining areas, garden furniture, or play zones, and many modern options come in stylish, weather-resistant materials.

Installing a pergola or canopy can also help protect your garden furniture from sun damage, extend the time you spend outside, and create a comfortable retreat for reading, dining, or hosting guests.

These shade solutions are practical, attractive and surprisingly straightforward to install — a great weekend project with lasting benefits.

So why not embrace the outdoors this July? By adding a pergola or retractable shade, you’ll enjoy a more versatile and stylish garden, perfect for soaking up summer at your own pace.
