How Outdoor Roofing Can Enhance Existing Backyard Features
An outdoor roofing solution is not just for newly built backyards. Older outdoor features of existing homes can be seamlessly enhanced with the implementation of high-quality roofing systems. From swimming pools and statues to gardens, we go over all the different features people commonly have in their backyards and why outdoor roofing is the ultimate backyard enhancement.
Swimming Pools
Swimming pools are one of the most popular backyard features, allowing homeowners to cool down and refresh themselves during hot summer days. But a swimming pool by itself can often look out of place and disjointed from the rest of the house if it does not have an adjoining structure.
To remedy this, install a louvre roof system next to or even partially covering the pool. This will not only make the pool seem more connected to the home by providing some vertical spacing but will also provide much-needed shade for lounging and drying off next to the pool. Just imagine, going straight from a refreshing swim to relaxing in a temperature and light-controlled spot to dry off and sip a cool drink.
Stone Courtyards
Stone courtyards provide a lot of low maintenance space for a home backyard, but when not paired with an outdoor roofing system, they can often become heat traps due to their reflection of the suns rays.
Luckily, the solution to this problem is very simple – all you need to do is install a roofing system over the courtyard. This will provide essential shade for the space, making it ideal for summer brunches, BBQs, and the perfect place to have your morning coffee. But you don’t need to block the sun entirely! You can install retractable roof systems that provide fine control of how much sun your courtyard receives.
Statues
Do you have a prominent statue in your backyard that isn’t quite creating the aesthetic you desire? Outdoor roofing can be the perfect accessory when installed strategically. Align an outdoor roofing system symmetrically in your backyard with a statue. This will create a grand and classical look that will make your outdoor space feel and look serene for many years to come. A louvre or retractable roof system will work best here, providing light and heat control for your new reading, entertaining, and lounging space.
Gardens
Nothing feels better than being out in nature taking in the sights, sounds, and smells of your garden, whether it’s decorative or functional. Transform the space with an outdoor roofing system that provides all the comforts of an indoor space while maintaining the integrity and liveliness of the outdoor space.
This covered area could be a place to catch your breath out of the sun before planting your next crop or harvesting for dinner. Or it could be a place where you lie down on a lounger and get stuck into your favourite book while enjoying nature.
