Hi guys, just in need of some advice around artificial grass, we dug up the garden last year as the previous owners had ruined the grass and we’re about to get it redone, but can’t decide between real or artificial grass.

Can anyone give me any advice on how to fix my canopy (no idea if it has a real name ) it’s clearly seen better days and I have no issue with sanding it down to repaint but I think it’s just normal timber and I think one of its feet could do with been replaced.
