For over 50 years, Broadview has been a leading supplier of DIY pergola kits and based on our experience, we believe they make the perfect summer garden building. With their stylish and customisable design, our pergolas give you the chance to maximise your outdoor space without the cost of installation! Read on to learn why a DIY pergola kit makes the perfect summer garden building.
Why does a pergola make the perfect garden building?
We often get asked why our customers should opt for pergolas over building a garden shed, office or summer house. It all comes down to what you will use the space for. If you need additional storage, a pergola may not be the best option, but if you’re looking for an aesthetically pleasing outdoor structure in which to relax, trust Broadview to deliver a pergola to your exact needs.
Benefits of a pergola over a garden building
Pergolas serve as a great way to entertain your guests – they can complement your outdoor environment and scenery as well as take advantage of natural sunlight. This far outweighs garden buildings, which tend to rapidly turn into storage areas, and can either become too stuffy in summer or too cold in winter.
Create the perfect garden building
Our pergolas come in a variety of sizes to suit any garden, and offers customisable features such as colour as well as a choice of heating and lighting options, allowing you to make your pergola your own.
Adjust shade and sunlight
Our DIY pergolas come with remote operated louvred roofs, which will enable you to adjust the amount of shade and sunlight you’re exposed to while sitting out in your garden. Traditional garden buildings don’t give you this freedom.
Keep cool or warm up
With a pergola, you can quickly transform your outdoor living space with a garden building that can be used day and night. You can create the ultimate summer relaxation and hosting space – as the temperature cools and the night draws in, switch on the pergola’s lights and heaters to create a warm atmosphere for some evening drinks.
Add privacy with retractable sides
What’s more, you can add retractable screens that not only serve as an effective wind break on breezy days, but also give you that added control over privacy.
A DIY Pergola is the Perfect Alternative to a Garden Building
The design of your DIY pergola can be completely tailored to your tastes. Whether you want a calming space to help you relax and unwind or the perfect spot for throwing fabulous parties, Broadview can work with you to design and create your perfect pergola.
