After a working day spent in the office, we do household chores - and so on for a whole week. On weekends, especially if the weather is nice in summer, I want to spend more time outdoors.
At the cottage, you can even dine outdoors, having organized such, as in the photo, cottage dining room. Doing this is easy even by yourself, by tiling a small area in a suitable place. It is suitable in the sense that it is near the house, but, on the other hand, is reliably protected from the wind and prying eyes by luxurious vegetation.
It protects the canopy from the scorching sun. But if you do not want to use artificial materials, the option may be a pergola, entwined with climbing plants.
