More About Pergolas & Awnings
Choosing Shade for Your Outdoor Space
Start by measuring the area you want to cover and considering how it will be used. A larger pergola can help define an outdoor living area, while a manual awning may suit spaces where a more compact shading solution is preferred. The current OK Home range includes aluminium pergolas from approximately 3×3 m up to larger 3.6×6 m options, as well as manual awnings in different widths.
If you are planning meals outside, allow enough space beneath the structure for outdoor dining sets for shaded areas and comfortable circulation around the table. For a more relaxed setup, outdoor sofas for covered seating areas can help create a dedicated lounge zone.
Pergola curtains can provide additional side coverage where compatible with the chosen structure. When planning the complete area, decking for outdoor living spaces can help define the floor surface, while suitable outdoor lighting for pergolas and terraces can make the space more practical after sunset.
Before ordering, check dimensions, property access and installation requirements carefully.
