For many homeowners, the garden has always been an afterthought. A patch of lawn, a set of chairs, maybe a barbecue wheeled out twice a year. But in recent years, there’s been a shift. Our outdoor spaces are no longer just “the back garden” — they’ve become extensions of our living areas. Somewhere to work, relax, entertain, and escape.
Yet there’s a catch. The unpredictable British climate. One minute blazing sunshine, the next, drizzle that sends everyone running inside. It’s this frustration that has sparked a new movement in outdoor living — and at the heart of it all is the pergola.
Walk down any street in Cheshire and you’ll see the same pattern. Beautiful homes with beautifully kept gardens… that sit empty for most of the year.
Too hot in midsummer without shade.
Too wet to sit out in spring and autumn.
Furniture faded and ruined by constant exposure.
In short: we’ve been guilty of neglecting what could be the most versatile “room” in the house.
Enter the pergola — sleek, modern, and designed to adapt to whatever the weather throws at us. Far from being a simple structure, today’s pergolas are engineered with innovation in mind.
At Cheshire Bespoke Conservatories, we’ve partnered with Hartman to bring clients the Como Pergola range — a product that isn’t just stylish, but genuinely transforms the way you use your garden.
Retractable louvres let you control sunlight and shade at the push of a button.
Optional LED lighting means the evenings don’t have to end when the sun goes down.
Mesh or sliding blinds provide privacy and protection from wind and rain.
A design that feels just as at home on a modern patio as it does in a traditional Cheshire garden.
It’s not just about adding a structure. It’s about creating what we like to call the Fifth Room — a seamless connection between home and garden.
Picture this: It’s a Saturday afternoon. The football’s on in the living room, but you’d rather be outside with a book. Under the pergola, you’re sheltered from the glare of the sun, comfortable in the shade. Later, friends arrive, the louvres adjust, the LED lighting comes on, and suddenly your garden feels like a private members’ lounge.
This is what pergolas do best. They turn wasted outdoor space into an all-year, all-occasion part of the home.
We’re not just selling a product — we’re designing a lifestyle upgrade. With over 20 years in transforming homes across Cheshire, we know how to blend practicality with elegance.
