Happy New Year and welcome to 2026. As we step into a fresh year, there is no better time to rethink how you use your outdoor space and turn it into somewhere you can enjoy all year round.
Whether it is a garden, patio, or terrace, outdoor living has become an extension of the home rather than something reserved for a handful of sunny days. With the right shade and shelter in place, your outdoor area can be used comfortably through every season, from crisp winter mornings to warm summer evenings.
At Great British Awnings, we specialise in providing solutions for year-round outdoor living that are both practical and beautifully designed. This New Year, we are looking forward to helping even more homeowners transform their outdoor spaces with our range of awnings, pergolas, and glass verandas.
A fresh start for your outdoor space and fantastic savings!
Many homeowners start the New Year thinking about improvements to the inside of their home, but outdoor spaces are often overlooked. In reality, your garden or patio has huge potential to add value, comfort, and enjoyment to your lifestyle.
With modern shade solutions, you no longer have to rely on the weather. Instead, you can create a sheltered, stylish environment that works in every season. Whether you want to entertain guests, enjoy family meals outdoors, or simply relax with a coffee, the right installation can completely change how you use your space. Take advantage of our January 20% savings on all bookings in January.
Why invest in solutions for year-round outdoor living?
Choosing to invest in outdoor shade is about more than just protection from the sun. Today’s designs are built to enhance your home, improve comfort, and provide long-term value.
Some of the key benefits include:
- Extended use of your outdoor space throughout the year
- Protection from sun, wind, and rain
- Improved comfort and usability in all seasons
- A stylish addition that complements your property
- Increased appeal and potential value of your home
With professionally designed and installed systems, your outdoor area becomes a true extension of your living space rather than an occasional extra.
Stylish awnings for flexible outdoor living
Awnings are one of the most versatile and popular shade solutions available. They provide instant cover when you need it and can be retracted when you want to enjoy open skies.
Our awnings are designed to offer:
- Effective shade on bright days
- Shelter from light rain
- Adjustable coverage to suit the time of day
- A wide choice of fabrics and finishes
A well-designed awning allows you to enjoy your patio or seating area in comfort, while adding a clean, elegant look to the exterior of your home. It is an ideal option for homeowners who want flexibility without permanent structures.
Pergolas that blend structure and style
For those looking for a more defined outdoor space, pergolas are an excellent choice. They create a strong architectural feature while offering protection and comfort throughout the year.
Modern pergola systems are designed with durability and functionality in mind, offering features such as:
- Robust aluminium structures
- Adjustable roof systems for light and airflow control
- Optional integrated lighting and heating
- A sleek, contemporary appearance
Pergolas are perfect for creating an outdoor room feel, making them ideal for dining, entertaining or relaxing regardless of the season.
Glass verandas for light, space, and shelter
Glass verandas are a beautiful solution for homeowners who want maximum light without sacrificing protection. They create a bright, open environment while offering reliable shelter from the elements.
Key benefits of glass verandas include:
- Protection from rain and wind while maintaining views
- A light, airy feel that works all year round
- A seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces
- A premium, elegant finish
Glass verandas are particularly popular for homeowners who want a refined, architectural look that enhances their home while providing practical year-round use.
