Extending<br />
outdoor living<br />
Rain and wind-proofing an outdoor space adds value to a<br />
property. With a roof or clear vinyl sides, your buyers can<br />
see an area where rain doesn’t stop play.<br />
Thanks to blitz advertising,<br />
most Kiwis have heard the name<br />
Archgola. <strong>The</strong> company and<br />
others like it can add canopies<br />
to decks, enclosing the space for<br />
year-round use.<br />
Undercover verandas, pergolas<br />
and gazebos can be turned into<br />
living space by adding side<br />
panels, which effectively create a<br />
conservatory. Restaurants often<br />
use these spaces, so there’s no<br />
reason why home owners can’t as<br />
well.<br />
Roll-down clear vinyl blinds are<br />
a popular choice, which, if you’re<br />
lucky, can be bought ready made from<br />
hardware stores such as Bunnings<br />
and Mitre10. If not, there are plenty<br />
of companies that will custom<br />
manufacture to fit. Usually these blinds<br />
zip into place and are stored using a<br />
rope-and-pulley system.<br />
Mounting your blinds is very simple.<br />
Typically it involves screwing the<br />
mountings into wood or installing a<br />
track then fitting the blind.<br />
Other options include roll-up shade<br />
cloths or other gazebo or veranda<br />
sides, such as canvas. <strong>The</strong>se aren’t as<br />
windproof as the vinyl blinds, meaning<br />
they’re not a 12-month solution.<br />
If you don’t already have an outdoor<br />
living space, building a pergola doesn’t<br />
generally need planning permission..<br />
Provided the pergola is less than 10<br />
sq m in size, it is usually okay to add<br />
a roof. But a quick call to the council<br />
is a good idea; never risk building an<br />
unpermitted structure.<br />
Another option for quick and easy<br />
rain and windproof outdoor living<br />
is a pop-up gazebo. <strong>The</strong>se can be<br />
turned into dining areas to give buyers<br />
a glimpse of what they could do<br />
themselves.<br />
It’s important to dress them so it<br />
doesn’t look like you’ve just plonked<br />
a gazebo on the lawn. Lights, plants,<br />
furniture and even place settings<br />
can really give a gazebo the Pinterest<br />
touch and bring it to life as an outdoor<br />
entertaining hub for the home.<br />
<strong>The</strong> more you pay for pop-up<br />
gazebos, the better UV protection of<br />
the fabric and powder coating of the<br />
steel you get.<br />
Heating the outdoor space also<br />
makes it more usable. <strong>The</strong> cheap option<br />
is a patio heater. Permanent gas, wood<br />
or pellet fireplaces and fire pits are<br />
easier on the eye and can make a<br />
design statement, all-important<br />
when selling a home.<br />
For wind protection, it’s<br />
reasonably simple to erect trellis<br />
and staple brush sides to it or the<br />
existing fence.<br />
Bamboo is particularly good<br />
for this purpose, especially if<br />
you have access to a free source -<br />
although you could also buy it at<br />
all good hardware stores.<br />
