Garden Structures

Garden structures

Garden structures can be a great touch to any garden. From being used to shield us from the sun to just providing something that looks stunning, choosing the right garden structure can really add to your outdoor living space. With garden swings, garden pods, canopies, gazebos, arbours, and more to choose from, what do you need to consider when looking at garden structures?

What are you using your garden structure for?

Are you looking at a practical way to shield yourself from the sun? If so it could be that a canopy or gazebo is a great fit for you. There are also parasols that can help. Are you looking for somewhere to sit that isn’t only comfortable but looks great? How about an arbour or a garden pod? There are also garden arches to consider that create something stunning to be admired.

Will you need any accessories?

When budgeting for any garden structures, it is important to factor in any accessories that you may also need to buy. It could be that you require cushions for your garden pod, swinging seat or arbour. When it comes to garden arches, you’re going to need to budget for compost and plants. Although these things are not a great expense it is worth bearing them in mind when it comes to making your choice.

What care will be needed?

How you care for your garden structure will depend on the material that it is made from. Wooden structures such as garden swings and garden pods will need the timber treating to ensure that it lasts. These products are of the very best quality but for them to be long-lasting does require some maintenance. Metal structures may be easier to care for so this is something to consider before you commit to a garden structure.
