(EMAILWIRE.COM, August 13, 2013 ) Melbourne, VIC – July 31, 2013 – More property owners than ever are looking to maximise their outdoor living space and many look at trends in gardens to help them design their garden for maximum usability. In the Melbourne Australia area, there is a rising trend in a noticeable increase in pergolas and add-on verandahs. When asked how Australian property owners are using pergolas on their property, Matt Goodie, Managing Director, from Melbourne pergola builder Pergolas R Us said,
“We see a lot of traffic to our Pergolas website that is obviously people looking for inspiration for their own projects. We’re happy to spark inspiration with our many photos of pergolas, verandahs, gazebos, and other outdoor space enhancers.”
“Pergolas can be used to help with your gardening efforts for fruits, vegetables, and flowers, they can be a source shelter, can provide shade, and can outline an outdoor living area. They’re very versatile. Many people like that in the warmer weather they can spread out and leverage the area outside their roof and four walls; it helps their home feel bigger.”
Pergolas are seeing a rise in installations in the Melbourne Area
There has been a rise in recent years of people doing outdoor living rooms so they can have a more alfresco lifestyle. People are adding more than just a deck and plastic patio furniture. Many want great verandahs and pergolas with outdoor lighting, furniture, and even heating. This has sparked a surge in success for businesses like Pergolas R Us.
Some customers opt for plain pergolas to add to the look of their garden and others opt for more ornate pergolas or verandahs. When asked about the difference between a verandah and a pergola, Mr. Goodie answered, “A verandah is a pergola but the difference between pergolas and verandahs is that a verandah has an enclosed roof. It can provide you with shelter from the sun or rain.”
