A pergola adds a touch of charm to any garden, but what really makes it feel like a second living room is how you decorate and equip it.
At Artificial Grass Direct, we know that creating a comfortable, welcoming outdoor space takes more than just good weather. That’s why we offer everything from freestanding pergolas and wall mounted pergolas to practical accessories like heaters, lights and screens, all designed to help you make the most of your garden no matter the season.
Whether you’re aiming to keep the chill away on autumn evenings or want to add a cosy glow when the sun sets, the right combination can transform your pergola into a space you use day and night. Pairing these with low-maintenance options like artificial grass or composite decking completes the picture, giving you a garden that looks good and works hard.
In this guide, we’ll take you through how heating, lighting and screening can bring new life to your pergola, plus some handy tips to suit different garden sizes and styles. Email us for more information on improving your outdoor space.
Keeping Your Pergola Warm When The Temperature Drops
Evenings can get chilly in the UK, often sending us indoors before the day is done. Adding the right heating can change that, turning your pergola into a warm and welcoming space whatever the season.
At Artificial Grass Direct, our 3.0 KW Pergola Heater is designed specifically for outdoor spaces. It delivers a powerful, efficient heat and is easy to fit under your freestanding pergola or wall mounted pergola. With a 6-step remote control, it lets you stay comfortable whether you’re having a quiet evening or entertaining guests.
Pair this with our composite fascia boards beneath your pergola for a sturdy, weather-resistent surface that compliments the warmth above. Together, these create a space you can use all year round without worrying about the cold.
Lighting Up Your Pergola For Evenings
A pergola can be just as enjoyable after dark as it is during the day, as long as you have the right lighting in place. Good lighting not only makes the space safer but also creates the kind of atmosphere that keeps you outdoors for longer.
With pergola lighting selection like our LED lighting 3m x 2 lengths and LED lighting 4m x 2 lengths, you can easily add a warm glow to your pergola. Adding our remote kit makes it easy to adjust the lighting wherever you like, giving you the flexibility to create the perfect setting at the touch of a button.
Adding Privacy And Shelter With Screening
A pergola should feel like a place you can properly relax, but many gardens can feel exposed or windy without the right finishing touches. One of the easiest ways to solve this is by adding screening.
Options like our 3M wind screen and 4M wind screen help reduce the impact of the breeze while giving your pergola a more enclosed feel. For a decorative touch, you might choose a deco panel or a tilting privacy panel, which not only provide cover but also bring a modern design feature to your garden.
Whether you have a freestanding pergola or wall mounted pergola, adding screens can make the space feel more private and welcoming. Combine with our premium artificial grass to keep the area looking pristine all year round, so you spend more time enjoying your garden and less time maintaining it.
Bringing Greenery And Style To Your Pergola
Bringing some greenery into your pergola space adds life and personality without the need of constant care. At Artificial Grass Direct, we offer a variety of artificial plants that stay lush all year round, no matter the weather.
Artificial topiary balls are a great way to add structure and style. They can be placed around your pergola to create a neat, polished look without the need for watering or maintenance.
Additionally, our artificial hanging baskets bring colour and a touch of nature overhead, perfect for softening the lines of both freestanding pergolas and wall mounted pergolas.
With options like these, creating a garden that’s both attractive and easy to maintain is simple.
Make Your Pergola Project A Reality
A pergola can be so much more than just a garden feature. By adding thoughtful final touches like heating, lighting, screening and greenery, you create a space that feels inviting from spring to winter.
Whether you prefer a freestanding pergola or a wall mounted pergola, combining these with low-maintenance products makes it easy to enjoy your garden without the extra work.
