As the temperatures rise, the temptation to spend time outdoors becomes more and more appealing. While this can be difficult if your outdoor space is limited, we have a solution: garden verandas. A veranda provides an ideal space to shield you from the sun’s rays while enjoying the delights of the outdoors in comfort.
Our expert team here at Notaro Windows have been building porches and verandas in Somerset for over 55 years. In this article, we’ve put together what we think are the six biggest benefits of having a veranda in summer.
1. Shelter From The Weather
As much as we love the sun, it’s essential to have a shaded area to retreat to when the heat becomes too intense. Whether you’re hosting a garden party or enjoying a peaceful afternoon with a book, a veranda offers shelter without driving you indoors. And let’s face it, just as with the rest of the UK, the weather in Somerset can be unpredictable at the best of times! A garden veranda can shelter you from the weather come rain or shine, making it an ideal way to improve your home this summer.
2. Extra Living Space
Almost like an outdoor living room, a veranda in your Somerset garden can serve as an extension to your living space. This is useful for hosting gatherings, dining outside, or simply relaxing. When not in use, a garden veranda or porch also offers a practical storage solution as it enables you to keep gardening tools and outdoor furniture sheltered from the elements.
3. Space To Take Off Dirty Shoes Before Going Inside
Somerset’s scenic landscapes often call us into the great outdoors, but returning home with muddy shoes and boots can be a hassle. With a garden veranda, you have a designated and spacious area to take off dirty shoes before stepping inside. This helps to prevent dirt from being tracked across the carpets in your home.
4. Outdoor Workspace
Working from home has become increasingly common in recent years, and Somerset’s stunning surroundings provide the perfect backdrop for an inspiring workspace. A porch or garden veranda offers a tranquil outdoor environment to set up your office without exposing yourself to the direct summer sun.
5. Quicker Installation Than An Extension
If you’re considering expanding your living space, a veranda offers a quicker and more cost-effective solution compared to traditional extensions. We know from experience that a garden veranda’s construction is less complex than a conservatory or orangery. This means minimal disruption to your daily life and allows you to enjoy your garden oasis sooner. At Notaro Windows, we’re specialists in installing verandas throughout Somerset and the surrounding areas and can have your outdoor retreat ready in no time.
6. Increased Property Value
As well as the immediate benefits on offer, a garden veranda can also increase the value of your home. In Somerset, where gardens are particularly cherished, they offer a space that incorporates the best of both the indoors and outdoors. Potential buyers will appreciate the versatility and convenience of a veranda, making it a valuable investment that can pay for itself in the long run.
