With the arrival of the good weather, going out to the terrace and enjoying it is one of the things you most want to do. Of course, we must protect ourselves from the heat, otherwise it will be impossible to stay there too long. The best trends in garden awnings will allow us, in addition to dressing our terrace with beauty and elegance, enjoy it fully.

Trends in garden awnings:

1. Shade sails

Ideal for making a design totally to taste on our terrace. Generally made of acrylic or polystyrene fabric, they resist the effects of rain and sunshine without any problems.

They will also allow us to select the specific space we wish to cover, without the need for the entire surface of the terrace to be covered.

They tend to be triangular in shape, and affordable.

2. Stretch awnings  

These are a type of awnings adaptable to all styles and sizes of terrace. Very indicated for low floors with interior patios; simply by sliding them we have them in use.

They are usually made of canvas, and their guide system allows you to quickly say goodbye to the sun, and to cover with intimacy our terrace or interior patio.

Its size and resistance provide a wide shadow, sometimes getting us to lower degrees even inside our home.

3. Heather, cane or mesh awnings

If you want to give a more natural or rustic air to our terrace or porch, with this style of awning we can achieve it. The shade that it produces is not totally uniform, since it is not a completely smooth surface, and therefore, opaque. On the contrary, its resistance to the humidity is very high. 

One of its great advantages, not only is going to be its affordable price, but the fact that the separation between the branches of different materials, whether wicker, cane or heather, allows the passage of air, thus avoiding the greenhouse effect, typical of some types of awnings or covers.
