For backyards, patios and gardens the perfect outdoor furniture completes the homeowner鈥檚 efforts to turn an otherwise simple and plain area into one that invites activity, relaxation or entertainment. From beautiful dining sets to sunshades and portable outdoor fireplaces, the possibilities for turning an outdoor deck or patio into an exciting place to gather and socialize are endless.



Transforming An Outdoor Deck

Lightweight, durable sun loungers are a good start for turning a drab outdoor deck into one that invites relaxing and soaking up the sun. The best quality products are easily folded, require only simple cleaning and will not fade from contact with direct sunlight. And the modern fixed bench and chair arrangements means easy setup for large gatherings, yet the ability to dismantle and rearrange in just minutes. The popular Sunbrella fabric is preferred for outdoor areas that receive plenty of sunlight, is easy to clean and is the most durable. Equally good for outdoor sofas and chairs is the Rehau wicker fiber that is placed over a stainless steel base.



Many Styles Of Outdoor Planters

An above-ground planter made from high quality recycled wood not only serves as an excellent base for planting shrubbery or small trees, it beautifies the yard as a whole, with the natural wood color complementing the other outdoor furnishings nicely. These planters are expertly manufactured with the finest slats chosen to reveal the wood grain, are fastened to steel posts and are quite strong. The popular Rio style planters with their brilliantly polished steel sides are another attractive option for those wanting a more contemporary look to their garden area.



Weather Resistant Dining Sets

An outdoor meal is made so much more enjoyable when the diners are seated at comfortable, all-weather furniture. The recycled wood sets being manufactured today are truly works of art, are sturdy yet lightweight, and are crafted in a variety of shades that can be complemented nicely with colored cushions that also stand up well to the elements. From simple folding stools to the finest Sunbrella fabric and tightly woven quilt mesh, there is a beautiful outdoor dining set that will highlight the patio, garden area or deck.



Entertaining At Night

The portable eco-friendly outdoor fireplaces are a wonderful touch when entertaining at night. Operating on bio-ethanol, they are easy to use and produce no greenhouse gases. All are weatherproof and can be placed safely on tables, concrete surfaces or even benches. What a great way to entertain without the hassles of tending a wood burning fire, and best of all it is easy on the environment.
