• Yeah appreciate orientation etc will be specific + looks like you have a work surface on the wall facing the space. Whilst the obvious move is side return extension, I do think courtyards can be really lovely. Some nice tiles on the floor and wall or interesting brickwork, the right planting etc. and you'd have a neat space

    I'm building a pergola this summer to replicate that kind of vibe for our garden patio

  • It appears to be Pergola's at dawn... (because obvs I'm doing the same, which will give our small garden an internal garden feel).

  • what orientation are your gardens? ours is north east facing which is apparently the worst garden. but it's long... so actually gets sun all day in summer. feel like I'd kinda like a pergola for that outdoor-with-an-indoor feel vibe but don't know if I'm willing to compromise on the sunlight. guess it's about competing priorities - do I favour my tanlines or my privacy...

  • Quite a grey day today - but pergola will go over the table and benches as that is south facing. Plan is to sort that this summer, plus the deck at the end of the garden and then create some wild meadow grass to the right by the bug ugly hedge and grow shady climbers along the left hand fence. Once we’ve done the renovation of the house, we’ll likely adapt the patio so won’t be doing too much there
