Bank Holiday Heatwave Incoming – Is Your Garden Ready for the Sunshine?

Protection from the sun and heat is a necessity these days….

With the forthcoming Bank Holiday weekend fast approaching, weather forecasters are already predicting soaring temperatures that could climb well into the early 30’s across London, Surrey and the Home Counties.  Gardens will be full of family gatherings, barbeques, children playing outdoors and pets relaxing in the sunshine but the big question is… do you actually have enough shade to retreat to when the heat becomes too much?  At, we know that when the British summer finally arrives, everyone suddenly wishes they had invested in proper sun shading for their home or business.

Protect Your Family, Children & Pets from Harmful UV Rays

Many homeowners are becoming increasingly aware of the dangers of prolonged exposure to UV rays.  Excessive sun exposure can cause skin damage, overheating and discomfort, not only for us but also for our children and beloved pets.  Dogs, cats and other animals can struggle badly in extreme heat, particularly on patios and decking areas that absorb and radiate high temperatures throughout the day.  Children playing in direct sunlight for extended periods are also vulnerable to overheating and sunburn.  Creating a cool, shaded retreat in your garden is no longer a luxury, it’s becoming an essential part of modern outdoor living.

Transform Your Patio Into an Extra Living Space

Imagine being able to enjoy your patio comfortably throughout the hottest part of the day without the sun beating directly down onto your furniture, dining table or outdoor seating area.  A beautifully designed awning can instantly create an additional shaded room outside your home, perfect for:

  • Al fresco dining
  • Relaxing with family and friends
  • Outdoor sofas and lounge areas
  • Garden parties and entertaining
  • Children’s shaded play areas
  • Protecting pets from direct sunlight
  • Keeping indoor rooms cooler during hot weather

Not only do awnings create comfort outdoors, but they can also help reduce heat entering your home, protecting your furniture, flooring and interiors from fading caused by harsh sunlight.
