When you are searching for exterior remodeling ideas to add interest to your home, you might want to consider the addition of a shade arbor. Shade arbors can give you both the feeling of being enclosed while staying open to nature.
You can use your shade arbor in a variety of ways. They are a wonderful opportunity to grow plants that will vine around the exterior of the shade arbor, giving it a natural, cottage garden-style appearance. Your shade arbor could have nice benches underneath it for a relaxing spot to sit and have comfortable conversation in your yard. You could even add a hot tub underneath it for a luxurious outdoor space.
Shade arbors can be somewhat complicated to build. Concrete footings need to be poured to hold your main posts. You will want to use a wood that resists rot and insects. The cuts on the boards need to be accurate. It is recommended to use a professional to build your shade arbor.
