A customer located in Bangkok contacted the team at Thai Garden Design and inquired about building a raised deck and lean-to pergola, to cover the vast expanse of his garden space at the side of his house.
The garden was used frequently, but due to the expanding family, the owner wanted more shaded, usable space, effectively an expansion of his lounge, but without bricks and mortar.
The structure consists of a raised deck, matching the level of the interior of the house, a shade pergola with poly carbon roofing material, guttering and pipes, transporting rainwater into the garden drains, and a privacy wall which shields the view into the structure.
The deck was constructed on top of a piled foundation, and is made from cement board. The pergola, circular columns and privacy wall are all Thai hardwood, suited to the climate. Railings and steps also came as part of the build.
So if you own a home in Thailand, with a lounge that could be extended into the garden space, look no further, contact ben@thaigardendesign.com for ideas on how to effectively extend your living room into your garden.
