7. Gazebo

Build a gazebo for added shade and protection from the elements. You can customize the size, shape and even color of your gazebo to fit any home outdoor garden design. If you choose to build a gazebo, be sure to consider the location within your outdoor space. Placing it in a well-ventilated spot that receives plenty of sunlight is ideal. Furthermore, adding curtains or blinds can help provide more privacy when needed.

 

8. Pergola

Place comfortable seating under the pergola, hang lights for ambiance, and add a few planters to bring a bit of nature into your space. If you want to take it a step further, consider adding curtains or a retractable shade cover to provide more privacy and protection from the elements.
