Pavilions, gazebos, and pergolas are examples of shade structures, which are features situated outside that offer varying degrees of sun protection. These structures are functional, sturdy, and capable of improving the visual appeal of your home’s outdoor space. If you’re considering shade structure installation, here are a few good reasons to take the plunge.
Spending time outside can have a positive impact on physical and mental health. Vitamin D, which is crucial for the proper absorption of calcium and other minerals, is generated by the body with even minimal sun exposure. Also, time spent in nature has been shown to decrease stress and boost mood in many individuals.
It’s easy to see the practicality of pergolas, gazebos, and other shade structures, but don’t forget that these backyard features can also be beautiful. Careful design and construction mean a quality finished product both in looks and function. And when you work with a skilled woodworking professional to create the structure, you can create your own customized design.
New Mexico is known for its consistently sunny weather, which is definitely welcomed by residents. However, steady sun exposure can also make outdoor lounging uncomfortable at times, but a shade structure can shield you and your loved ones while spending time in nature. Additionally, shade structures can also offer much-needed protection against things like sunburn and more serious skin damage.
