Bringing exceptional practicality along with traditional elegance, a veranda offers plenty to those lucky enough to own one. But how can you get the most out of them? Here’s 6 impressive ways how:
1. Outdoor dining area
A veranda provides the perfect setting for you to enjoy a relaxing meal during the summer; you’ll always be protected, in case a downpour of rain suddenly occurs (an only too common occurrence during British ‘summertime’). Plus, they offer considerable UV protection, meaning you can eat away without worrying about getting sunburnt.
2. A place for entertainment
With summer in full flow, there’s no better time to be out in the garden, making the most of the weather. Invite your friends over and fire up the grill without worrying about rain ruining proceedings. And for when you’re alone, you can enjoy a hobby of your choosing whilst taking in the outdoors. Whether it’s for painting, reading, playing your guitar, or something else, the covered outdoor space is suitable for almost anything. For those who work at home via a laptop, you could even use it as a comfortable working area during the summer!
3. Garden area
If you’re someone who enjoys gardening, the cover on offer is ideal for housing your plants. You needn’t worry about getting wet when tending to them and they’re perfect for specific species of plants that thrive in the shade. You can find a short list of such plants here.
4. Storage space
During the summer months, the sheltered area can be used as a storage space for any garden furniture – a barbecue, deck chairs, tables and more can be stored there. As verandas offer considerable protection from UV rays as well as the rain, your furniture will remain protected from damage and discolouration.
5. Kids play area
As an exterior extension of your current property, a veranda is perfect for your children to use as a play area. Your kids will be sheltered from the sun, plus you won’t have to worry about your lawn taking any damage. They’ll also be close enough to the house that you can keep an eye on them whilst they’re playing.
6. A house for your washing line
Installing an outdoor washing line underneath a veranda will protect both you and your clothes from the elements – you’ll no longer need to refrain from getting any washing done because it’s raining! In the winter, this will reduce the need to use a tumble dryer, offering you potential savings on energy bills. Plus, you can forget about clothes horses taking up lots of your interior space.
