There are many ways to improve your home but the most sought after home enhancement is to create an outdoor living area. The simplest way to do this is by investing in structural elements. You’ll be surprised to know that a large number of Aussies have already done so.

According to Houzz.com.au’s 2016 Landscaping and Garden Trends Study, 82% of Aussies upgrade their outdoor structures during a landscaping project. Of the different structural elements upgraded, decks, patios and terraces, gazebos and pergolas, sheds and carport/garages are the most common.

If you’re planning to undertake a landscaping project yourself, now is the perfect time to consider investing in shade structures. Shade structures will increase your curb appeal and they’ll also allow you to create an outdoor space as comfortable as indoors.
