How to use a pergola in autumn and winter?

How to use a pergola in autumn and winter?
Do you feel like you won't be able to use your pergola until spring? Wrong, you can spend pleasant time in a pergola even in the autumn or winter months. How to do it?

Roller blinds and heating

Using a pergola in autumn and winter can be hindered by adverse weather conditions, wind and cold. You can easily protect yourself from the rain: in a bioclimatic pergola, just fold down the slats in the roof. You can prevent the wind from blowing in with screens, roller blinds or blinds. ARTOSI pergolas have the option of installing screen roller blinds or outdoor blinds. Is it really windy in your garden? Veranda roller blinds can withstand winds of up to 140 km/h.

When it gets cold, wind protection may not be enough. You can equip armchairs and other seating with warm blankets and if you need extra heating, the pergola can be equipped with infrared heaters provide pleasant, radiant heat and are available in various types, sizes and heat sources (electric is the most common, but gas is also available).

You will also be warmed up by hot drinks or snacks prepared in the outdoor kitchen. A winter barbecue, when there is snow all around, has an unmistakable atmosphere and grilled delicacies taste twice as good in winter.

Afternoon coffee or work area

If you bring electricity and an internet connection to your pergola, there is nothing stopping you from turning it into a stylish office, similar to a winter garden.

Don't have work that could be done from home? Then you can use the insulated pergola to relax, to observe the autumn and winter nature in the garden or as a space for visitors. You can play board games or do sports such as table tennis, table football, bowling or darts in the pergola.

Garden space

Doesn't your garden appeal to you in winter? Even then, there is a winter use for a pergola: turn it into a garden space. In a pergola, where you cover the side walls, you can store garden furniture or tools in a dry place protected from the weather, or you can keep winter-hardened plant boxes.
