With the amount of time that people are spending at home due to COVID-19, as well as the proven health benefits of exposure to nature, there has been an increased purchase of furniture, accessories and building products for their Outdoor Living Spaces. When the right features are added to the home and landscaping, such as a Pergola or Gazebo, this could increase home value.
