They\u2019re perfect for the summer months, whether it\u2019s breakfast outside, a mid-afternoon break from gardening, or evening drinks in the setting sun.<\/p>\n<p>But a patio area without any kind of shelter or shade is exposed to the elements, and we all know what the British summertime can often be like. If there isn\u2019t scorching hot sunshine, there\u2019s likely to be sudden downpours.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canopiesuk.co.uk\/home-garden\/\">garden canopy<\/a> can be just the solution to provide that extra bit of protection, in one way or another, to your patio or outdoor space. It offers a useful cover which you can retreat under if the weather turns too wet or too hot, and gives you an extra area outside to store garden furniture without worrying about the rain!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Encourage Your Children (or Grandchildren) to Spend Time Outdoors<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A patio canopy can help to persuade your children or grandchildren to play out in the garden, rather than sitting in front of the TV, using smartphones or playing video games. A study\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2016\/mar\/25\/three-quarters-of-uk-children-spend-less-time-outdoors-than-prison-inmates-survey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recently found<\/a>\u00a0that 74% of UK children spend less than 60 minutes playing outside each day. Astonishingly, this equates to less time outdoors than prison inmates. This means that children are missing out on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.livestrong.com\/article\/141891-the-benefits-outdoor-play-children\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vital benefits<\/a>\u00a0of outdoor play, such as physical fitness, intellectual stimulation and social skills. The\u00a0negative impacts\u00a0of increased time indoors for children of the modern world include increased anxiety, risk of phobias and being prone to fear, a rise in cases of ADHD, obesity and even rickets. As well as reduced physical and mental advantages of outdoor play, less time in natural sunlight means a reduced amount of vitamin D,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/Livewell\/Summerhealth\/Pages\/vitamin-D-sunlight.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">which is essential<\/a>\u00a0for healthy bones, teeth and muscles.<\/p>\n<p>The study also found that children spend twice as long playing on screens as playing outside. It has been shown that extensive amounts of screen time\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/blog\/behind-online-behavior\/201604\/what-screen-time-can-really-do-kids-brains\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">delay cognitive development<\/a>\u00a0in children, which harms their capacity for concentration and their communication skills. This can harm their ability to make friends and puts them out of touch with the real world.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-17212\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canopiesuk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/patio-connekt-canopy-08-300x176.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"355\" height=\"208\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Protection from the sun<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Patio canopies can also offer you and your family some much-needed protection from the sun when it gets too powerful over the summer. For example, our canopies are all coated with Melinex gel, which allows natural light to permeate through the shelter but filters out those harmful UV rays.<\/p>\n<p>This means that children can play underneath the canopy and be protected from the sun \u2013 reassuring for parents who worry about too much exposure. Our gel coated systems also prevent garden furniture and fabrics from fading in the harsh sunlight.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8484 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.canopiesuk.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Patio-2-Website-300x150.jpg\" alt=\"House Patio Canopy Back Garden\" width=\"354\" height=\"177\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Free from obstructions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All our canopies use a cantilevered design system, which means you\u2019ll get the maximum benefit from shade and shelter without any obstructions on your patio or garden terrace.<\/p>\n<p>The canopies are entirely self-supporting, which eliminates the need for any large pillars or posts to hold up the roof. Not only does this mean you\u2019ll retain the same amount of space outside, it also ensures there\u2019s nothing for children to bump into or fall over when they\u2019re playing in the garden.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nFlexible size and design<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This cantilever construction also means that the patio canopy can be fitted to the side of your house in exactly the size and design you\u2019d like. Each canopy is bespoke to your individual needs, meaning you can customise it to your home with a variety of styles and colours.<\/p>\n<p>If you wanted a walkway around the side of your house to offer additional shelter from your backdoor to your utility room or garage, for example, a canopy can easily be designed to run continuously around the side of your home.<\/p>\n<p>Take a look at our selection of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canopiesuk.co.uk\/home-garden\/products\/patio-canopies\/\">patio canopies<\/a>, and then <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canopiesuk.co.uk\/home-garden\/request-a-survey\/\">request a free survey<\/a> to find out how one could enhance your outdoor space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the official start of summer kicks off with the longest day of the year, our thoughts inevitably turn to our gardens.
