Design your outdoor space: the features that really make a difference

Gates, side gates, play areas…Discover the Home and Garden range

A well-designed outdoor space means greater comfort in everyday life

The garden has become a real extra room in the house. It’s where we entertain, relax, let the children play and enjoy sunny days with the family. But to make the most of your outdoor space, you need the right equipment.

A modern gate to enhance the entrance, a practical side gate to make getting around easier, or even a climbing frame to transform the garden into a proper play area: each item can improve your daily life.

At Habitat et Jardin, the brand’s range of products is designed precisely to meet these various needs, with solutions that combine style, practicality and durability.

A gate to secure and enhance your home

A gate is much more than just a means of access. It is the first thing people see when they arrive at your home: it therefore plays a direct part in shaping the image of your property. A contemporary aluminium model, in particular, instantly gives a home a more modern look, whilst creating a clear separation between the street and your private space.

The Julien semi-openwork gate

Aluminium frame, contemporary grey finish and a design that lets light through whilst defining the entrance. Available in 340 x 140 cm with a swing-open mechanism.

The benefits for you

A more attractive entrance

The contemporary lines blend easily into many architectural styles.

A favourable first impression

The gate becomes a real feature of your outdoor décor.

A structure built to last

Aluminium offers a solution that is both lightweight and robust; the models on offer are designed to withstand outdoor conditions.

Greater convenience in everyday life

A gate tailored to the dimensions of your property makes it easier to enter and exit throughout the year.

The side gate: the small item that makes life easier

You don’t always need to open your main gate to get in or out. Whether you’re collecting the post, taking out the bin, heading into the garden or simply walking through, a side gate makes getting about much easier. The aluminium models offered by Habitat et Jardin combine contemporary design with practical features.

It features a lock and a handle, and has a UV- and rust-resistant aluminium frame.

Why install a side gate?

More convenient

A dedicated pedestrian entrance means you don’t always have to use the main gate.

More attractive

A matching main gate and side gate create a harmonious entrance.

Greater security

A dedicated locking system allows for better control over access to your property.

More durable

Aluminium is an attractive option for equipment exposed to the elements.

For a cohesive look, you can also opt for a main gate and side gate package. Some Marc models combine both in the same finish and offer UV and rust resistance.

Turn your garden into a playground

A pleasant outdoor space shouldn’t just be attractive: it should also be full of life. For families, installing a swing set gives the garden a new purpose and provides children with a play area right on their doorstep. The benefits are immediate: children have a space to let off steam, play together and enjoy the outdoors even more.

The Nelio play frame

Features two swings, a seesaw and a swing seat. The frame is made from FSC-certified timber and is autoclave-treated to Class 3 standards. It can accommodate up to four children aged 3 to 12, according to the manufacturer’s specifications.

Benefits for the whole family

More playtime at home

No need to take the car to the park: the garden becomes a place for fun.

More time spent together

The various play equipment allows children to play together.

Blends naturally into the garden

The wood creates a warm, inviting look that blends easily with a green outdoor space.

A real enhancement to your garden

The layout becomes more functional and a more pleasant place to spend time.

Choosing the right outdoor furniture: think about how you’ll use it first

Before choosing a product, ask yourself a simple question: what do I want to improve in my daily life?

Do you want to secure your property?

Opt for a main gate and side gate suited to the layout of your entrance.

Do you want to modernise your home?

Look for models with contemporary lines and understated finishes, such as grey aluminium designs.

Do you have children?

A climbing frame can turn part of your garden into a play area.

Would you like to make the most of your garden?

Think of your outdoor space as a proper living area: access, furniture, play areas, storage and relaxation spaces should all work together.

An outdoor space designed for you, not just to look good

Landscaping your garden isn’t simply about piling on the equipment. The aim is to create a space that truly meets your needs.

A gate can enhance the entrance to your home.
A side gate can make getting around easier.
A climbing frame can give children their own play area.

And when these features are chosen wisely, your outdoor space becomes more practical, more enjoyable and easier to live with on a day-to-day basis. At Habitat et Jardin, the brand’s range offers solutions for a variety of uses, from entrance design to features designed specifically for children.
