The great outdoors

With daylight savings lasting six months of the year, there's ample opportunity to spend time enjoying the outdoors. But what about the other six months of the year?

Outdoor canopies available from Fresco Shades provide year-round protection against the elements, allowing homeowners to enjoy their outdoor living environment, without the need for co-operation from the weather.

Richard Cummins, owner of Fresco Shades, says the company's outdoor canopies are an ideal way to extend your home's living space and to establish a connection with its natural surroundings.

"With this level of protection from the elements, people are able to use their outdoor spaces continuously, regardless of the conditions. This also eliminates the need to store your outdoor furniture during the winter months." Cummins says.

The canopies have a powdercoated steel framework and are covered in a durable PVC fabric that allows light to penetrate. Canopies can be tailor-made to suit your requirements and come in a range of colours. Accessories include guttering and retractable clear plastic walls for wind and rain protection.
