Outdoor & Garden Ideas
Deck Out Your Outdoors
Americans everywhere are spending more time at home. Because of this, they are looking for creative ways to expand their current space by investing in "outdoor living rooms." Creating outdoor living areas can be a cost-effective way to enhance both the beauty and functionality of your yard and home, make more livable space and increase the value of your home. Try the following simple tips to revamp and grow your living space:
Create different rooms
We are used to having our homes divided into rooms, but rarely take this approach to our outdoor spaces. But dividing up your yard can actually help to maximize your enjoyment of it. Look at the available space and designate one area for play, one for dining and socializing, and another for relaxing. Then decorate accordingly!
Focus on quality
When embarking on any renovation project, make selections that will maintain and perform in the long-term. For example, if you are building a deck, using Symmatrix™ Composite Decking means your deck will stand up to the elements for years without cracking, splitting or warping. And it requires no sealing or staining, so maintaining it requires little effort on your part!
Set the mood with color
Just as you would with an indoor room, you can use color to decorate outdoors. In fact, applying color theory when selecting plants and flower arrangements can influence the mood and personality of a space. For example, while earth tones are appropriate for a relaxation corner, bright colors like pink and red are ideal in areas used for play. If you're building a patio or deck, select a base color that matches your home, but allows for flexibility in design.
Get the most for your money
You want to enjoy your home, but you also want to see it increase in value over time. So when it comes to making big decisions, such as the addition of a deck or pool, research the dollar value that element will bring. For example, according to Replacement Contractor, installing a deck provides the second highest return on investment for homeowners-over 90 percent on average after the first year of installation.
Use your space!
Why limit the time you spend outdoors to the summertime? Even in colder climates, accessories are available that can extend the use of your outdoor space to other times of year. Electric heaters, outdoor fireplaces and fire pits are accessories that will keep you warm through late fall and into early spring.

I'd seen cheaper versions which weren't fully weatherproof, so went for this, but was disappointed that the faux rattan isn't as realistic/attractive as the less expensive ones, it actually looks a bit cheap! However hopefully it will last longer. Fingers crossed.

Excellent sized storage box, large enough to hold all garden furniture cushions. The product is easy to assemble and is very sturdy.

Love, love, love this bench. It's exactly what I wanted for the courtyard. The care instructions recommended using wax to maintain the wood and suggested not to let bird droppings or leaves sit on it for any length of time which may be more fuss than some people are willing to give their outdoor furniture but wooden outdoor furniture requires extra TLC. If that's too much then let me say it would look beautiful indoors as well.

Ich habe das Hochbeet schnell erhalten. Relativ kleines Paket fΓΌr 1.20 m langes Beet. Waren alles einzelne Bretter und sah auf den ersten Blick aus, als wΓ€re der Zusammenbau schwierig. Doch die Bretter liesen sich schnell und einfach ineinander stecken und das Beet war schnell fertig. FΓΌr innen gab es eine mitgelieferte Folie, welche man auslegen konnte, sodaΓ das Holz von innen geschΓΌtzt ist. Das Beet steht auf meiner Terasse und sieht super vor meiner Gartenlaube aus.

The packaging for this was a bit over the top, but saying that it is perfect for what I want, perfect size too!

A very nice, strong bench with a lovely colour! Recommend! But the only criticism I have is that the screws to fit the seating area (i.e., from under the bench) should have been with the other long screws that are fitted with the Allen key, not the tiny screws provided.

This small piece of furniture is bright, very easy to assemble, looks great in the hall, ideal with the padded seat area for putting on/taking of boots/shoes, with ample space for at least pairs of shoes. Would definitely recommend.

Assembly pictures are not that great. Hangs much lower than I thought. Ok for kids. Definitely need to protect the wood with a good water seal.

We were surprised how heavy was the package, (poor UPS guy!). It was easy for the two of us to put together. Bench is perfect near our grill, allows the cook a place to sit, and place a drink on the table. I only gave it 4 stars as there was damage to the wood under the table, which is only noticeable when table is up AND if it is pointed out!

Cute, but very, very small. I had a hard time even finding succulents small enough to put in these. Like the nice touch of matching rose gold wall screws

I have a small patio and hate clutter. I bought this in white and it's big enough to hold my clippers, gloves, fertilizers, small garden tools, barbecue tools and a bag of charcoal. It's sturdy enough for me to sit on while barbecuing. Perfect for my needs and looks nice. It's easy to put together following the instructions. A great deal and arrived in no time at all.

The garden bench is fair for the money. However, there is a problem with the fixing screws that attach the bench seat to the frame. The screws are not large enough to screw into the frame.

Looks very good, in perticular with the green cushions. However, it wasnβt easy to assembly as there wasnβt too much room for the screws and bolts to tight (supporting tools provided very helpful though!). The seating areas could be stretched a bit more to avoid hollows by sitting on it. The cushions are very easily slipping away due to material.

I bought this bench for my utility room. When it arrived there were so many pieces. However, it went together fairly quickly. Pleased with the end result. However, would point out the the storage compartments are very big. You can get two pairs of shoes in each compartment if stacked correctly. No good for tall boots, but I suppose you could take the cushion off and use the top of the bench. In the whole very pleased. Delivery excellent.

Timely delivery on a double order. Super attractive benches for outdoor seating at my biz. However one bench was broken in one area and another had a crack. Will be receiving a replacement so Iβm good with that.

I prefer Keter boxes and I think they are good quality. Excellent size box... itβs big which is what I wanted..... so make sure you measure. Very easy to put together. I did it on my own (49 yr old woman). Delivery was a day later than when ordered but I was kept fully informed

From ordering to an earlier than told delivery, really please with my two pots. They are plain but most of pot hidden beneath decking seat. Love the pull out insert so I can use the pots for something that needs deeper planting. Might move them to the front of house next year. Very versatile pot.

Very easy to install. Looks stylist and very comfortable. You can even adjust both sides of the footwear storage bench by moving the wooden plaques up and down. Great value for money.
