Ingrid Turner Today

I ordered a brand new canopy to be made for my outdoor patio gazebo, as the last one was ripped to shreds from a wind storm in the late Spring.

The gazebo-like frame is still intact and beautiful, so I wanted to get a new canopy, so I could enjoy the summer weather without the beating sun…

So, I had a number of people come out to look and I got a serious variety of estimates for how much something of this magnitude would cost, as I couldn’t find a suitable replacement in the stores.

Then, one couple came along that makes tarps and coverings for boats.

They ensured me it would be easy to put on the frame and take off the frame, and would be much more sturdy and durable than any other canopy I could have made.

So, I agreed – Well, it took at least 1 month for them to fulfill the order, but they installed it today and I’m just thrilled!

I’m glad I had them make it, even though it’s nearing the end of summer now. It will be ready for next year’s fun in the sun and will nicely protect my patio furniture from the weather and the over-flying birds.

I’m so sick and tired of bringing in the furniture cushions every time it rains.

Just put the chandelier back up inside the top and replaced the screened curtains and we’re ready to go…

So, all in all, I’m very pleased with the outcome and excited about spending more time outside enjoying the sunshine with the dogs admiring my gardens.
