OUTDOOR COURTYARD IDEAS
A pool patio
Any home improvement list that has anything to do with family time outside must include a pool patio. During many seasons, it will be far too cold to swim, but that never means you can’t enjoy yourself.
A hot tub
A hot tub is always a great addition to any courtyard, regardless of how large or small it is. During winter time, this will be one place you can go to relax after a long day of work.
A fire pit
A courtyard is not complete without a fire pit. A fire pit will give you and your family a spot to cook some marshmallows, roast some hot dogs, or do whatever else it is that you find enjoyable when sitting around the campfire.
Gazebo
A gazebo will give you the opportunity to bond by providing a romantic place for your loved one to relax or practice some quiet time.
Pergola
If you are not big on working with wood, then an easy home improvement list addition would be something like a pergola. This is a patio cover that will provide you with some much-needed shade when summertime rolls around.
Outdoor living room and patio furniture
This will allow you and your family to spend time together while also still enjoying the great outdoors. It will present an extra spot for entertaining, so if you have some friends over during summertime, they won’t get too hot on the deck.
Tire swing
This will give your family and friends something to do both during the summertime and anytime of year when you install it correctly.
Outdoor lighting
This will allow you and your guests to see everything on your courtyard, even during the darkest evenings of the summertime.
