Build a Deck Pergola
A pergola will instantly improve the
look of your deck and make your entire
back yard seem more interesting. And,
it’s something that is really easy to build
and probably much less expensive than
you may think. Of course, you could
always hire someone to build you a
pergola but why spend money that you
don’t have to spend? You can have
plants vining up the sides, hang baskets
on the side with plants or dress it up
with clear lights. It’s a great choice for
improving the look of your deck and
adding a focal point to the back yard in
general.
Add a Hammock to the Backyard
A hammock is the perfect place to relax
in the shade. If you don’t already have
one, you simply must add one for sum-
mer. You can do so the DIY way with
this easy to make hammock that is sure
to bring you hours of relaxation and
fun. You really don’t need any special
type of fabric and you can embellish the
hammock any way you like. Add a few
pillows to make your naps much more
comfortable and even a small side table
to hold drinks and other items.
Build a Backyard Fire Pit
You can build your own beautiful fire pit
and have wonderfully relaxing evenings
during the summer just sitting around
roasting marshmallows. Fire pits are
really not difficult or expensive, if you
know what you are doing. This particu-
lar pit is made from brick but you could
use any number of stones if you wanted.
You can also place patio furniture near
the fire pit or just have blankets and pil-
lows on hand for those evenings when
you want to really relax under the stars.
