But I’m sitting here writing this, in my garden, on my laptop with a nice cup of coffee and all is good….  How? I hear you ask? That’s the beauty of having a garden canopy in the UK.

The short answer is a resounding YES in many applications but in others, it is an equally loud NO. Let’s look at how these break down

In fact, we probably don’t think about it at all until we want to relax with a sandwich at lunchtime, or sit and have a nice cool drink in the evening looking out at the garden. By this time its probably at least a little on the hot side!

The good news is that you can automate your vents with climate control. This will automatically open them
