Here’s everything that you’ll need to turn your backyard into a summer paradise:
Install a Fire Pit for Warm Storytime with Family & Friends
What would an oasis be without a fire pit? There are four types of fire pits: wood burning, propane, gel fuel and natural gas. Investing in a propane fire pit is one of the best investments out of the four, as they provide a beautiful, quality flame without the trouble of refilling gel or wood. Natural gas fire pits are also a great option: they never run out of fuel once they’re hooked up. Both options come in an array of style, colour, and finishes to choose from to coordinate with your furniture.
Get Comfortable Outdoor Furniture for your Patio
When considering your options for patio furniture, the most crucial component in your purchasing decision should be material for your furniture. The majority of patio furniture is made from synthetic wicker, which prevents stains, don’t fade in the sun and increases durability. Synthetic material is also easy to clean with a gentle scrub or a quick wash.
If you prefer natural materials, teak is a great option. This hardwood contains natural oils, which make it resistant to the elements and keep it from warping, cracking or becoming brittle. Other great patio material options are concrete, sunbrella fabric, aluminum and stainless steel.
Build an Outdoor Kitchen to Fuel the Fun
Companies such as Napoleon specialize in creating full outdoor kitchens for your backyard, including the option to personalize your outdoor kitchen. For example, an OASIS Modular Island Kit allows you to build a customized layout based on your space and storage needs. Options such as waste drawers, fridges, and universal cabinets are just a few of the choices for drawers that you can choose to accessorize your cooking space.
Grill heads and BBQs are the most important portion of any outdoor kitchen, and there are several options to choose from. Some grills such as the Napoleon Prestige Pro 825 even provides you with multiple cooking styles in one grill so you’re able to bake, sear, and rotisserie food.When it comes to setting up your outdoor kitchen, it’s important to shop ahead as BBQs and outdoor kitchens can take at least four weeks to ship to your home or local retailer.
Add a Wood-Fired Oven or a Pizza Stone
Want to make authentic wood-fired pizzas in your own home? You could invest in a wood-fired oven for your home, or you could purchase a pizza stone instead. Similar to a cast iron frying pan, the pizza stone seasons over time, making it more effective. Plus, a pizza stone is designed to cook directly on your grill, so you can simply clean by hand once it cools. The PRO Pizza Set is a great choice. The porous surface of the stone pulls moisture away from the pizza for a light, crispy crust, and it can also be used to bake bread and cookies!
Consider an Outdoor Fridge for Cool & Refreshed Drinks
It’s important to purchase an outdoor fridge instead of using a standard refrigerator for your backyard kitchen. Outdoor fridges handle weather fluctuations better than indoor refrigerators and tend to have more insulation than an indoor refrigerator to fend off the temperature differences outside. Stainless steel fridges make cleaning a breeze, and some, like this compact fridge, can either be built-in or used stand-alone.
