Pergolas and umbrellas are excellent elements to cover the terrace. The difference between them concerns the size. The pergola is suitable for any type of terrace because it is not excessively large. One of the advantages of the pergola is to lean on one side on the facade of your house and on the other on the wall of the terrace itself. Thus the pergola will repair every small space in the house. It is made up of beams, crosspieces and joists and is supported by pillars. In addition to being a decorative element to embellish terraces, it is also functional. Generally the pergola has a rounded or flat roof which is almost always closed. There are wooden, metal or masonry pergolas. As for those in wood, it is advisable for people who have a classic terrace, while in metal it can be good for more modern environments, they have a fabric cover that, thanks to a button, can be opened or closed. Wood is also cheaper than the other two, but difficult to clean. On the other hand, metal and masonry structures do not require particular maintenance and are economically very expensive. Sun umbrellas are also very useful, available with both side and central legs. They are of neutral colored fabrics, very thick and excellent for sun protection. In case of heavy rain and wind, a good tip is to close it to prevent it from breaking.

Those lucky enough to have a large terrace can enrich it with chairs and tables. These are useful elements not only for preparing dinners and lunches, but also for other activities such as reading a book, studying, having a drink or being in company. You can think of a resin table, a very resistant but not particularly elegant material. For those who want an elegant terrace, the best solution is a wooden or wrought iron table. Very elegant and of great quality, the tables in these materials embellish the environment. While if you want to furnish the terrace with modern furniture, those in metal are ideal. These can be made with different, even futuristic geometric shapes. Whatever table you want to buy, it is good to know that there are both folding and fixed versions. The fixed are obviously more practical and allow them to be stored when not in use, therefore an optimal solution for those with little space. There are also chairs in folding and fixed versions, also in this case, the folding ones are appreciated because they safeguard space. On the market are mainly sold plastic ones, which are cheaper and easier to clean. But it is advisable for those who want to create an elegant terrace, wooden chairs because they are more refined and elegant.

In addition to tables and chairs, a terrace can be embellished with deck chairs or chaise lounges. These two elements must match well with the style of furniture and the other furniture on the terrace in order to create a homogeneous and linear environment. Deck chairs and chaise lounges can be manufactured with different materials and are indispensable for reproducing a sitting area outside as well as inside. You can think of adding outdoor furniture to these elements. People who have little space in the house can opt to put a piece of furniture outside on the terrace. Practical and comfortable, these pieces of furniture act as real closets. A wooden piece of furniture gives the wardrobe a nice appearance. Square in shape and with various shelves, it is great for storing work tools, folding chairs and plant accessories. There are metal cabinets, formed by a single door that can withstand all weather conditions or plastic ones that are resistant to shocks and scratches.
