No house and back yard is complete without a beautiful patio to sit on and take it all in. A patio is a perfect addition to every house, where the family can relax and take in the nature while still enjoying the comfort of their home. Patios come in all shapes and sizes, but what differs from backyard to backyard is how they are furnished.
Your patio should be personalized and treated the same way you take care of the rest of your home. It is a wonderful place to gather the family, turn on the gas grill, and spend quality time with one another. Patios can make your house more valuable (34% of homeowners increased the value of their homes by updating their landscape) and they can make your backyard more functional (44% of home owners get the most out of their back yard by updating it to make it more useful.)
But how do we make our patio and backyard the perfect place for outdoor relaxation?
Shade
In order to enjoy your patio and backyard without getting blasted by the hot sun, you have to provide some sort of shading. There are many options for shading portions of your patio, and all of them have their advantages and disadvantages.
Awnings are great for shading a small area of your patio near your home, but you would need to attach your awning to your house, and it stays there, providing shade in only one permanent spot. Retractable awnings are becoming more and more popular, but they are still affixed to one portion of your patio, preventing you from moving with your shade.
Patio covers are also permanent fixtures, but they provide a much wider area for shading. A large patio cover does not need to be attached to your home, and can give your patio a more private feeling. If you are not into the idea of permanent fixtures, you are probably in the market for a patio umbrella.
Patio umbrellas come in all shapes and sizes, while maintaining the comfort of mobility. Many modern patio umbrellas come with multiple features, including crank lifts for easy opening, pole tilts to adjust your umbrellas angle, and even lighting.
Patio Furniture
In 2015, 84% of households planned on purchasing patio furniture, and for good reason. It’s always nice to go out on the patio, sit down, and relax, but to do that you need the right equipment. You want the perfect amount of comfort and functionality for your outdoor furniture. Whether your preference is to sit, lie down, or dine, a patio is not finished until the right patio set is in place.
There are many different types of patio furniture sets for families of all sizes, so one of the main things to consider is the amount of seating. Most families are fine with a round patio table, but some larger families need to invest in a long, rectangular outdoor dining table. If you are not into backyard dining, patio seating could be beneficial for your and your family.
Grills
If you own a house, odds are you own a grill, as 80% of homeowners own charcoal or gas grills, barbecues or smokers. Grilling is a healthy and enjoyable means of cooking, while being able to take in the outdoors.
Whether you have used natural gas grills, a propane grill or a smoker, you have probably had a barbecue during summer holidays. The Fourth of July is by far the most popular grilling holiday, with 83% of adults in the United States claiming that they barbecued on Independence Day.
More than half of grill owners believe that grilling their food is just as healthy as cooking it in the oven and 38% of grill owners believe grilling is healthier than cooking in the oven.
