It can be hard to find the motivation for outdoor projects during the cold winter months. Most of us focus our attention on making the inside of our homes cozy and holiday ready, leaving our backyards and patio spaces to fall victim to the elements. But here’s the thing:
Winter is the ideal time to plan ahead and start your outdoor upgrade – especially if you are considering The Smart Pergola®.
Equipped with StruXure technology and designed specifically do adapt to the elements, choosing The Smart Pergola® means you don’t need to wait for the next sunny day to arrive in order to enjoy your outdoor space. Being proactive now means that you can beat the spring rush, ensure priority installation, and be ready to sit outside and enjoy your patio straight away.
Why does timing matter?
Spring and summer traditionally form the peak season for outdoor renovations. During these times, customer demand often increases and lead times for installation can be stretched – so waiting until March or April to plan your outdoor upgrade can mean your project takes longer to complete, or worse, gets delayed. By comparison, starting the same project just a few months earlier can reduce delays significantly, enabling you to make the most of your backyard in time for those first warm weekends of the year.
There are huge benefits to ordering a The Smart Pergola® during the winter, beyond simply securing a sizeable head start on upgrading your outdoor space.
You can spend more time exploring design options, finalizing custom adjustments and features, and getting your installation date booked in before the spring rush begins. Take as long as you need choosing finishes and furnishings, nailing the perfect layout, and making sure your The Smart Pergola® will serve every purpose you need it to. Gift yourself the luxury of flexibility by starting your planning today.
