7 Ways to Enjoy Your Garden All Year Round

1. Don’t Shut Your Garden Down For Winter

At Crownhill Garden Furniture we clearly have a real passion for outdoor living and for us that means that it does not need to stop just because the weather is not as beautifully arm as it has been this summer.

Being outside all year round is so much easier these days with the availability of pergolas. We are experts and stockists as you will be well aware. So we thought we would take the moment to share our thoughts with you.

2. Create A Cosy Winter Retreat

Every winter there is a real tendency to hibernate and many of us retreat indoors. The gaden becomes a disused space. But, think of it like this – How lovely it is to spend a Sunday morning in the fresh air with a drink at hand, the Sunday Papers on a coffee table, dry and warm, but in the fresh air.

Garden Furniture has become so much more versatile in recent years. Sofas are so much more comfortable, and the advent of fire pit type technology means that there is no reason not to make a cosy space. Add blankets and hot drinks and you’re good to go!

3. Add Warmth!

Outdoor heaters have become normalised. We offer them with many of our pergolas as well. We are not kidding ourselves that we do not need to keep warm but we have the technology to stay warm so why not!!

If you already have a pergola for example, why not add to it by installing a heater. There are some super stylish options….take a look here!

4. Light Up The Darker Evenings

Although it gets dark earlier, that can add to the atmosphere. Take a look at LED and ambient lighting options. Particularly, warm lighting underneath pergolas makes for a super setting for dining with friends and family under the stars of a crisp winter evening.

5. Keep Cooking Outdoors

Some people love cooking all year round. Barbecues and outdoor cooking don’t have to finish in September. More and more people are realising that there are ways to continue enjoying the unique taste of outdoor cooking all year round. We stock one particular pergola that is designed to do fulfil just this task…The Nova Titan BBQ Shelter.

6. Hot Tubs Were Made for Winter

Hot tubs are arguably better when it is cold. We have installed many pergolas with hot tubs installed beneath and even televisions added so that whilst enjoying the relaxing hot tub experience, at the same time watch a big game, or your favourite TV series in a totally relaxing environment!

Add suitable side screens to keep the elements out as well.

7. Make your Pergola An Outdoors Room

Pergolas have doors, screens and walls these days! It means that we are now able to offer the most amazing selection of outdoor rooms, so if you want to be outdoors, away from the central heating during the winter but its raining outside then you can!

Our Nova Titan collection particularly has the availability of many options including louvred wall sections, privacy screens and glass sliding doors. These protect from the wind and rain and allow you to open the doors again when the weather allows.

Your garden does not need to close for the winter and become an outdoor room that you simply stare at through the kitchen window from October through to March. Put on your coat, fire up the heater, make a hot drink, get comfortable with the Sunday papers and continue to enjoy the beauty of the outdoors.
