The Benefits Of Garden Structures

Garden structures are ideal for hosting gatherings with family, friends, or work colleagues as they can have a significant impact whilst offering solutions for all types of gardens and patios.

The benefits of wooden garden structures include the following:

providing shelter from the sun or unexpected rain showers
providing a space where you can serve drinks or food
enhancing or creating additional seating

For instance, you might want a garden bar to sit by your lawn, patio, deck, or outdoor pool. Or you may want a pergola under which you can place a table and chairs or stand-alone seating where a few guests can retreat, converse, and unwind.

So, whatever your garden's shape, form, and size, or the entertainment you envision, we have a few garden structures ideas that we think you’ll love!

Garden Bars

Next, our 6 x 4 Shite Garden Bar And Store is a practical and fun purchase that will bring your garden to life!

A garden bar like this allows you to serve drinks and refreshments like a pro while creating a hub for gathering and conversation. Standing by a lawn or patio, it also creates a safe place to store bottles, glasses, plates, and many other utensils and accessories, right where you need them.

Many models in our timber outdoor bar range feature a ten-year anti-rot guarantee, roof overhangs, bar doors, and hinged or removable shutters.

Pergolas

Whenever you’re seeking ideas for new garden structures, pergolas are an excellent option to encourage vertical interest.

13 x 11 Siena Pergola With Canopy

A great example of a wooden garden structure is our 13 x 11 Siena Pergola With Canopy, perfect for sheltering you and your guests at your next gathering from sun, rain or wind!

The purpose of a pergola is to install a structure that supports climbing plants that grow upwards, often climbing up the posts before creating a natural canopy. With such a garden structure, you have a wonderful visual attraction where you can also sit and enjoy the outdoors.

However, growing plants up a pergola is not a must or a requirement for creating shade. Our Siena Pergola With Canopy follows the traditional route, with the bonus of a canopy that extends and retracts so you can enjoy sitting in the sunshine on cooler days and instantly create a shady spot when the thermometer rises

Forest Radial Pergola

Another great example is our Forest Radial Pergola, perfect for creating a garden focal point, a shaded area to relax under or even a charming spot to dine al fresco.

Garden structure designs can break free from rigid square or rectangular borders and create a natural focal point. If you have visions of al-fresco dining, the Forest Radial Pergola is a structure where you can throw down a garden blanket or place a small table and chairs. The form works great in a garden corner, but if you have more room, you can link more than one 90-degree pergola, creating a 180, 270, or 360-degree space!

Garden Seating

Many stunning garden seating solutions are perfect for reading or enjoying another favourite pastime.
