Do You Have a Lake or Pond on Your Property?
At my vacation house growing up, we had two ponds on our property. In the Summer, we'd row our old rowboat around them, play with the frogs and salamanders that lived there, and practice our fishing skills. In the Winter, the ponds were prime spots for ice skating.
Crave Worthy: A Backyard Bocce Court
I've recently become a bocce fanatic — I'm even in a league. It's the ultimate social game because anyone of any age or skill level can play. So, when I saw this backyard bocce court at Ceja Vineyards, I nearly died and went to heaven.
Cool Idea: Corrugated Metal Siding as a Fence
A white picket fence may be an icon of domestic bliss, but it's too traditional for some tastes. I recently relaxed in an outdoor seating area with corrugated metal siding used as a fence and loved its industrial modern look.
It offers more privacy than a picket fence, which is ideal for city homes.
Do You Have a White Picket Fence?
There's nothing like a curious agapanthus peering its head out of your white picket fence on a warm Summer day. A white picket fence may be uninspired, but it's still a classic, like an L.L. Bean bag or a pair of canvas sneaks.
Do You Have a Hot Tub?
Something about hot tubs has always screamed "Spring Break" to me. But this hot tub, built into a beautiful teak floor in a fenced-in area, designed by Katie Leede, looks sophisticated and has made me reconsider them. If I could create a beautiful outdoor space such as this, I'd buy one in a second.
Su Casa: Kimpossible's Pergola
Do you remember when Su Casa member Kimpossible wrote in asking for suggestions for a rug for her patio? Well, since then her outdoor space has seen some major changes. Not only did she choose a Mad Mats Recycled Rug for the space, but she also installed a pergola!
Do You Tan in Your Backyard?
As much as we may have been told not to, sometimes it's hard to avoid basking in the warmth of a sunny day. Whether you do it on a blanket in your backyard or from a comfy lounge chair, many of us still catch some rays around our homes. Source

Roundup: Element-Withstanding Outdoor Furniture
If you're going to invest in outdoor furniture this Summer, you want to know that it will withstand the elements. Choosing furniture made from teak is always a good idea, since this wood is highly resistant to the wear and tear of sun and rain. In addition, look for outdoor fabrics from Sunbrella.
Roundup: Outdoor Folding Chairs
Summer means that we're often on the go: catching the best sunshine, the best waves, or the nearest picnic in the park. That means that we need on-the-go furniture to keep up with our Summer lifestyles. One of the best pieces of furniture you can invest in for easy seasonal living is an outdoor folding chair.
Roundup: Fab Outdoor Finds Under $25
Whenever Summer comes around, I'm überexcited over all of the great outdoor items on the market, with grand visions of hosting colorful weekend barbecues. I have to stop myself, though, and remember that the season is fleeting. It's silly to spend excessively on décor that might be compromised by the weather and the playfulness of outdoor parties and that will only be used for a short time.
