There’s nothing – nothing in the world – better than enjoying a crackling fire outdoors. If you can’t afford a backyard fireplace, and just don’t like fire pits, this might be an ideal solution. This Tuscan teak round table features the ultimate centerpiece – fire! It’s sort of a hybrid camp stove/faux fireplace fire. Beneath ceramic logs, gel fuel containers produce dancing flames that will snap and crackle, but not spark. It converts easily into a standard table between uses.
Or, as we like to call these – the Princess Arch. Whether over a pathway or tucked in among the bushes and trees, a vinyl arbor arch adds distinction and charm to any yard. Even better, they never need painting, staining, or sealing – and come with a 20-year warranty to prove it.
There’s a certain serenity that comes with the gentle sounds of running water. There’s another kind of serenity that comes with enjoying those sounds without taking out a second mortgage on landscaping. This self-contained pump-and-fountain system is portable and weather-resistant.
Nothing ruins backyard paradise faster than a swarm of pests – and not just because they’re annoying. There are health risks associated with mosquito bites, so it’s best to minimize their impact on your yard. The Insectivoro (which sounds like a Spanish anteater) attracts all sorts of pests from horseflies to mosquitoes with UV lights and bright, flower-like yellow blades. Their curiosity aroused, the bugs are sucked in by a powerful fan, and held inside. You and you alone can determine their fate!
It’s not just named “Manta” for its unique, ray-like shape. It’s also marine-grade, which means it can hold up to even the toughest of sea storms. A smooth and easy-to-use pulley and marine cleat system unfurls and keeps the parasol in place, with enough room to fit over a standard table.
#6 Weatherproof Outdoor Television
Talk about your guilty pleasures. How many times have you rolled your eyes at the sight of your kids (maybe even your husband watching a baseball game) and said “it’s beautiful out there – get outside!” Well…now they –and you – can have both. This LCD TV sacrifices absolutely no picture quality in the name of being all-weather safe.
#7 Hatteras Large Quilted Hammock
Three words: built for two. That’s right, this hammock is designed for cuddles – whether with your little one(s) or that other, late-night kind of cuddling. This quilted hammock is the dictionary definition of summer comfort.
