The outdoor life It consists of enjoying the outdoors while protecting yourself from the most extreme temperatures under good shade. Before the arrival of another heat wave, protecting yourself from the sun and high temperatures becomes a necessity. And if the size of the terrace or the garden allows it, do it under a pergola or gazebo has many advantages.
In addition to its roof, the structure allows the inclusion of awnings or side curtains to provide privacy and more shade depending on the position of the sun that changes during the day. The same system can be applied to place mosquito nets and even to create a cozy and magical atmosphere because you can use the structure to hang garlands or plants.
A pergola is also a great system for zoning or dividing rooms of the same space.
