Create a Warm Glow
The sun may set earlier in the fall, but your patio doesn’t have to shut down when it gets dark. Use sleek garden torches to light up evening gatherings with the same irresistible flickering light produced by the fire pit. Red cedar Adirondack chairs, stained with Olympic Elite stain in Mahogany Blaze, give off a warm glow of their own, as do white and gold chrysanthemums.
Fire Up the Fun
Patio season doesn’t have to end when leaves and temperatures start falling — as long as you equip your backyard gathering spot to handle chilly weather. A gas fire pit l to provide warmth and real flames at the center of a patio seating area. The stone-look design looks great on patios made of bricks or pavers, and you can use the open flames to toast marshmallows for s’mores.
Stack the Deck
Delight in your deck throughout the fall. Create a cozy gathering spot in one corner by placing a DIY dining set under an easy-to-assemble pergola from Great Railing. First, brighten your deck or patio by giving it a good cleaning, staining, and sealing.
DIY Dining Set
Use stock lumber to build a beautiful and budget-friendly outdoor dining set.
Solar Planter Light
Use dowels to make long stakes for solar path lights. Then stick the lights in a planter.
