5 Reasons to Get Out and Enjoy Your Porch or Patio in Cooler Weather

Did you go into hibernation mode with the first cold snap? Snap out of it, taking advantage of the beautiful fall weather. This season, we all need a little extra Vitamin D and fresh air. Give your immune system and mood a boost, looking for new ways to enjoy your porch or patio space beneath the comfort of your adjustable aluminum pergola.

Warm Up with a Hot Cup of Tea or Cider

There’s nothing like the flavor of warm cinnamon and apples or a hot piping cup of Earl Grey on a brisk morning. Throw on an extra layer or grab a warm, blanket, donning your fuzzy slippers for an invigorating morning, opening pergola louvers to enjoy a hot beverage in the warmth of the sunlight.

Dig Into Fall Gardening Tasks & Crafts

Arrange decorative clippings and pot fall flower and bulbs for outdoor centerpieces beneath the comfort of your home pergola, turning on your built-in infrared heater for warmth. While you’re at it, set the kids up next to you with a fall-themed craft, drawing them away from their mobile devices for a while.

Enjoy Lunch Alfresco

Bright, sunny fall and winter days are the ideal time for an open-air lunch. Prepare your favorite foods on the grill, or tuck into a warm casserole from the oven, enjoying it on your porch or patio. Close your motorized pergola screens, keeping bugs at bay.

Take a Nap

Draw your motorized curtains, escaping the chaos of your home to enjoy a quiet, relaxing nap on the porch while listening to the sound of Mother Nature.

Outfit Your Deck or Patio with Welcoming Fall Décor

Add colorful mums, fat pumpkins, and other fall inspired décor, creating a festive fall space. Warm throws, pillows, cushions, and rugs in seasonally inspired hues of goldenrod, orange, russet, and brown add flair while adding warmth and coziness to your porch or patio space.

Light a Fire

Consider adding a gas fire pit or fire table to your porch or patio, creating a cozy outdoor setting to enjoy a glass of wine in the evenings after work, or make weekend s’mores with the kids. Fire features are perfectly safe to use beneath your aluminum pergola, which offers ample ventilation.
