It’s time to dust off your tools and prepare your backyard for the warmer weather ahead. If you want to spend more time outside soaking up the sunshine this spring season, you’ll appreciate these four backyard essentials that will make you want to stay outside for longer:
1. SHADE
Adding shade to your backyard can create a comfortable and relaxing outdoor space for you and your family. Build a shade structure, such as a pergola or gazebo to shelter your outdoor entertaining area from the sun. Alternatively, invest in a patio set with an umbrella or a stylish ready-to-assemble Bay Harbor Gazebo.
2. STORAGE
Reduce outdoor clutter this spring with extra storage. Outdoor storage sheds are ideal for stowing gardening tools and outdoor furniture. Suncast resin sheds come complete with adjustable corner shelves, large door windows and skylights to let in natural light. If you want to build a custom shed, simply browse our shed plans, and bring us your materials list.
3. OUTDOOR COOKING
While outdoor kitchens are growing in popularity, nothing beats a classic Char-Broil or American Gourmet Gas Grill. Take your grilling to the next level and cook with fresh vegetables grown in your backyard. We stock a wide selection of McKenzie seeds to grow your own produce this spring.
4. SPACE FOR ENTERTAINING
It’s time to install that pressure-treated deck or patio you’ve dreamed of all winter. Every backyard should have a dedicated outdoor living area to provide space for entertaining. Include plenty of outdoor seating and an alfresco dining area for your family and friends. Add ambiance with outdoor lighting and a fire pit for spring evenings under the stars.
