Garden Shade

How do I make shade in my garden?

There are many ways to create shady spots in your garden. The best way to make shade really depends on your unique garden and needs. For some, trees will provide natural areas of shade in any garden, but this shade will move throughout the day making it difficult to create a permanently shaded seating area.

Garden shade solutions such as awnings, gazebos and shade sails are a much more reliable solution that will guarantee you a fixed shady spot in your garden.

How do you shade a small courtyard?

If you don’t have much room or only wish to shade a small area such as a courtyard, shade sails are a fantastic garden shade option. They provide good coverage that will keep you shaded from direct sunlight but will also provide shelter from rain showers.

What can I do with shady corners in my garden?

Many gardens already have shade corners simply because of their design, but as the sun moves in the sky that shade can shrink. To keep the shade more consistent, consider installing a shade sail or pergola so you can plan to relax in the shade any time of day.
