Gazebo Buyers Guide Gazebos & Awnings BUYER’S GUIDE AWARD LEISURE www.awardleisure.com AWNINGS ... YOUR PATIO OASIS A patio is a perfect addition to any home, as it gives you the ability to sit down and relax while enjoying your outdoor space. However, no patio is really complete without a patio cover to maximize its use. Awnings enable you to enjoy being outdoors in all weathers, protected from hot sun or a sudden shower of rain. Awnings are in fact a very cost-effective solution to acquiring more living space — much less expensive than a house extension or a sunroom. At the same time, they increase the resale value of your home, as they are a type of home improvement that is much in demand by house purchasers. So installing one is a highly affordable project that quickly pays for itself. Of course, outdoor Awnings do far more than provide shade. They protect your garden furniture from the elements, meaning you can leave it outside most of the time rather than having to keep dragging it inside and then outside again. With Awnings you can virtually use your patio as an extra room, thus extending your living space. A patio cover is essentially a roof, and if its supports are attached to the house, as opposed to being freestanding, you may want to choose a style that CREATING MORE complements or matches the exterior of the house. LIVING SPACE FOR Usually the roof shape for your patio cover will be either sloping or flat. Flat roofs are very popular, and can be either solid or lattice. Lattice has the advantage of providing shade from rain, snow and the sun’s heat, LESS MONEY. while still allowing more natural light to enter. You can make it especially attractive by encouraging vines and climbing flowers to grow over it. 2 3 METAL Metal patio covers also require less maintenance than wood. In fact, they MATERIAL ... may not even require painting, especially if they come with a surface protector, such as Teflon. They also offer a great deal of flexibility and versatility, as they come in so many different styles and textures. THE BEST CHOICE? Metal patio covers made of iron or steel have the virtue of being extremely strong, so they are worth considering if you live in an area that is prone to heavy snowfalls. A metal cover may even allow you to continue your barbecue during a rainstorm, without having to rush indoors carrying all the food and dishes. Their appearance makes them very good for complementing the exterior of your house. NATURAL WOOD Metal patio covers may consist of iron, copper or steel, with a zinc coating, but by far the most popular material is aluminium. Wood patio covers are popular, not because they are the cheapest or the most durable, but because they look beautiful and attractive, and are often the best for Aluminium covers are extremely durable and can withstand most blending in with the landscape and with the exterior of the house.

It can also develop mould and wood rot if exposed to too much moisture, so is not recommended for damp or humid climates, or for areas near to the sea. FABRIC Canvas patio covers or awnings, create a colourful focal point for any patio or garden. Canvas shades can be housed in a cassette or fitted as a sail. VINYL/PLASTIC They are extremely versatile and can cover a wide area. Vinyl patio covers are virtually maintenance free, and this is making them increasingly popular with home owners who cannot spare the time and effort that wood requires. The canvas usually includes fibres like polyester or acrylic, to make it more weather-resistant. Canvas patio covers can be operated manually, Vinyl is a highly durable material that won’t warp, rot or decay, and vinyl patio or can be motorised, and operated with a remote control. covers are highly affordable and very easy to install. In fact, they are often available as kits for DIY patio covers, and don’t usually require professional installation.

This means you can have the appearance of wood without the maintenance problems. Vinyl can also be supplied in recycled materials, making this option very environmentally friendly. 4 5 GAZEBOS ... YOUR GARDEN OASIS Gazebos are a beautiful feature for perfect for both everyday use and social gatherings. They provide an outdoor escape or can be used to add a privacy or weather cover for a hot tub / swim spa installation or simply as a gathering point in the garden. There are an array of gazebo shapes, sizes, materials, and roof types available. Different styles are available, from simple frame-and-canopy structures for temporary use - to elaborate, decorative customised structures. When selecting materials to cover your outdoor area, buyers should strike a balance between price range, aesthetics, and durability. Durability is an important consideration particular is important for outdoor structures in the U.K. as buying a cheaper solution often means replacing it many times over time. Pay particular attention to how secure the roofing materials are, what they are made of and how they are secured to the joists and framework.

Decorative structures give substance to a garden, become focal points, and add interest and a touch of luxury. They make it possible to use the garden when it is wet, windy or just too hot. As supports for climbing plants they give us an extra planting dimension that allows us to appreciate fragrance and flowers close-up. Not all garden structures have a solely decorative value. Garden stores (sheds) and greenhouses can be highly decorative but they also serve more practical functions. Pergolas Pergolas originated as a framework for climbing plants such as grapevines. Some are designed on a massive scale with stout masonry columns and sturdy overhead beams. More compact versions work in smaller gardens. A pergola is basically a series of overhead beams supported by posts or columns. They are most often used over a terrace or patio to provide shade and increase the sense of enclosure.

    Leigh Park Estate Garden Features & Follies (Including Notices of Leigh Park Estate, 1836) The Beacon, c.1833 Steve Jones £6 Sir George Thomas Staunton Bt. Lithograph by J.M. Lynch from a portrait by Sir George Hayter, 1833. Havant Borough History Booklet No. 94 Read this and all other booklets on line at: the spring/heritage/local-history-booklets/ or at hhbkt.com 2 Leigh Park Garden Features and Follies Leigh Park House, 1833, G. F. Prosser. Today’s visitors to the Staunton Country Park, as well as feeding the wide variety of animals within the Farm Trail or walking around the lake and gardens of the country park, must wonder what the estate was like during the time of Sir George Thomas Staunton’s ownership of the estate. It was Sir George who kept on improving and creating this wonderful park and gardens, with glorious greenhouses filled with exotic plants, unusual temples, bridges across to the various islands on the lake, and other unique garden features and follies. Some still remain such as the Beacon, close to the road towards Rowlands Castle, and the Shell House or Staunton Memorial as 3 it also named, a little worse for wear these days but still giving us a glimpse of what it was like 180 years or more ago. This booklet looks at what garden features and follies still remain on the estate and sadly those that have disappeared for one reason or another over the years since Sir George Staunton death in 1859. Perhaps it is wrong to record Staunton’s garden and parkland structures as follies.

  • Caves of Wonder
    CAVES OF WONDER: THE LEGITIMACY OF THE GROTTO AS A SUBTERRANEAN LANDSCAPE ELEMENT by VANESSA D. BERNSTEIN (Under the Direction of Marianne Cramer) ABSTRACT This thesis explores the relevance of the grotto as an architectural type through time and will propose design possibilities for continuing this tradition in the twenty first century. Specifically, it investigates grotto works from the classical period through the twentieth century. Emphasis will be placed on the form, meaning, and purpose of the grotto as an underground chamber or passage. This thesis also considers the grotto as a platform for theoretical speculation on the implications of designing below the earth’s surface. The final component of the thesis is a design application comprised of three stories with corresponding collages that portray the design process for grotto inspired structures.
