To make your garden a nice haven of peace when the temperatures rise, installing a tent is the first solution available to you. Do not panic: you will see that it is easy to find a wide choice of shelters directly online.

It is possible to opt for a tent with or without walls, for an arbor with integrated LED lights for wonderful and long summer evenings, or a sun canopy. These shelters are available in a wide variety of formats, sizes, and colors to satisfy all tastes and adapt to all spaces. Another positive and not insignificant point: they are very easy to install and store!

Choose an umbrella

The parasol is also a great way to protect yourself from the sun in your garden. It allows you to bask under the blue sky without the harmful effects of the sun. It is a very classic choice and easy to install.

In terms of design, you are bound to find something that appeals to you and that will enhance your outdoor space. Whether crank, on wheels, tilting, round, square, wooden, or aluminum, the parasol can quickly become a decorative element in its own right.

In terms of colors, we favor neutral shades to bring freshness to the garden. And so that this attractive shield against the sun can serve you for many years, it is recommended to choose a model that is resistant to UV rays as well as bad weather.

Build a pergola

The pergola is a construction that extends your house to offer you a nice shaded space. It can be made of wood, a perfect material to bring charm to your outdoor space and which harmonizes perfectly with all garden styles. For a durable installation, please choose only exotic wood that is weather resistant. Also very classic: the wrought iron pergola will bring a touch of country style.

For a more contemporary style, you can choose an aluminum pergola. It can be made by a craftsman or purchased as a kit directly. Finally, if you wish, you can embellish your pergola with a climbing plant such as wisteria or jasmine, which will offer you delicate scents in summer.

In conclusion, if you are looking to create shade in your garden, you now have several interesting options to protect yourself from the sun’s rays and enjoy a cool and pleasant space throughout the summer!
