Great ideas for a shady outdoor entertaining area in summer

It’s that time of the year again, the season where we begin planning on how to improve our outdoor living areas.

Summer is a season we all look forward to, and it’s a crime against your home for your exterior spaces to look and feel dull.

Summer is the perfect season for outdoor entertainment, either beneath the stars or under a shade, and it’s with that in mind that we researched some terrific ways you can improve your outdoor spaces.

Without much ado, enjoy.

Trees

If you own a property that features trees, then they are your surest bet when it comes to protecting you from the sun.

They not only protect you from the sun but also beautify your surroundings while providing you with clean air and contributing to our environment.

Umbrellas

Apart from trees, this has to be the most cost-effective way you can protect yourself from the sun this summer.

Outdoor umbrellas have been specifically created to be sturdy, and if you have a small space that needs covering, look no further than a trusty collapsible outdoor umbrella.

Outdoor Barbeque

No outdoor living space is truly complete without an outdoor kitchen where you can create amazing meals for your guests.

If a full kitchen doesn’t work for you, consider investing in a barbeque for your outdoor space. An excellent choice would be a modern weber barbeque.

Retractable Awning

Awnings have an unmistakable beach-shack look synonymous with the 1960s and ’70s. They are a very modern addition to your outdoor space.

Awnings with retractable folding arms are an excellent way for you to cover small to medium-sized areas around your home; they also have high wind resistance.

Dining

While planning out your outdoor space, ensure that you account for a dining area. If you can’t create a separate dining area, ensure that there’s more than enough room under your shaded area.

It’s counter-intuitive not to make provisions for dining space; it’ll complement your new barbeque grill.

Sophisticated Structures

You may decide to construct complicated structures from scratch, such as verandahs, pergolas, patios or balconies.

To do this, you’ll need to contract the services of an architect to help you design your brand new structure. It’s is the only way to ensure that you build safely and to code.

Pool

If you have a pool on your property, it only makes sense for you to incorporate it into your new and improved outdoor space.

Pools are an excellent way for you to make hot summer days more bearable. Incorporating an on-site pool into your outdoor spaces is the way to go.

Outdoor Furniture

Outdoor furniture comes in different shapes and sizes; you can go for colourful outdoor sofas or more minimalistic benches; it depends on your taste.

You can build your own outdoor furniture with high-quality timber for a fraction of the cost of purchasing retail furniture.

Erect a Tent

If you’re in the market for something more temporary, erecting a tent might be the perfect option for you.

If you want a bohemian yet temporary structure, build a cotton canopy or canvas above your outdoor living space with a few furniture pieces on the ground.

Cover your Pool

To make your pool safer to swim in during the height of summer, you can consider installing a dual sail awning.

It doesn’t take much for you and your loved ones to get sunburnt while swimming because we don’t feel the sun through the water; we only see the damage later.

With a shaded pool, you and your kids can swim for as long as you wish without worrying about the harmful effects of sun exposure.
