Outdoor living is a big deal in South Africa! We love to spend time in the garden, invite friends over to braai, and enjoy sundowners as we watch the sunset. We have collected together ten lapa ideas that will help to inspire your outdoor living area so that you can make the most of your space.
Why choose a lapa for your outdoor space?
A lapa comes with lots of benefits and can be a great addition to any outdoor space. Your new lapa will:
- Make sure that you stay cool by the pool by providing shade on hot summer days
- Give shelter when in rains so that you can enjoy being outside whatever the weather
- You can build a braai into the lapa with spacious side tables and even a sink, making outdoor cooking easy-peasy
- Lapas come in all shapes and sizes! You can decide how big you want it to be, what shape it is, and what roofing to use to cover it. It can make your outdoor living area really stand out from the neighbors.
