The “Shade” Requirement and Argument

Today’s backyard has become as complex as the kitchen and the bathroom inside the house — the biggest question that most homeowners struggle with is “what is the most important element to the backyard?” Many will argue that landscaping is the key ingredient, while others will argue it may be the theme that is the most important. We are on the argument that a Shade or Garden Structure is the most important piece to the backyard puzzle. But why?

Few backyard elements can do more to enhance your outdoor living experience than a shade structure. The backyard structure is a necessity and is the catalyst and anchor for your outdoor space. Few elements can do more to enhance your outdoor living comfort and it should be the first consideration in any backyard design. A shade structure sets the tone of your space and can then be accented with landscaping, hardscaping, and complimentary products such as an outdoor kitchen, a fire feature (fire pits or fireplaces), a pool and other secondary shelter options. So, whether its an arbor that welcomes guest to your house, a gazebo that is strictly ornamental, a pergola that provides dining under a canopy or vines, or a pavilion that frames your outdoor room and calls your attention to the sights, sounds, and smells that could have previously been mistaken for vacant air – these structures are a source of some of the most acute outdoor living pleasures.
