Winter may be coming, but spring always follows. Now is a great time to start planning how to expand your living space beyond the four walls of your home. More and more families today are moving outside to their yard or patio to entertain, dine, play games, or just relax with friends. You will be considering storage sheds, outdoor furniture, and outdoor patio equipment for your total project. Remember, because you are actually expanding the look of your home into your yard, you will need to maintain some continuity in design, colors, and materials used in your projects. That said, you still have a wonderful abundance from which to choose in designing your own outdoor living space.
Perhaps you want to create or re-design a patio area. That old concrete slab can be painted, stained, stamped, or engraved. Pavers and bricks can add another totally custom look. When you think about the furniture for this area, ask yourself how it will with-stand the sun, wind, rain, and possibly snow of constantly changing seasons. Will much of it need to be stored during damaging months? You will need keep this in mind as you consider storage sheds, outdoor furniture, and outdoor patio accessories. Will the shed you have chosen have enough square feet of storage space for these items as well as garden and work tools? Will you need a loft for storing rarely used items?
Sheds today come in a variety of materials. You can choose from metal, vinyl for maintenance-free wear, or wood for economy and style. If you decide on wood, it will need to be painted or stained, and possibly sealed. Avoid using plywood or particle board in climates that receive a lot of rain. These products will not stand up to being frequently soaked. Don't forget to plan for a foundation as well when you're thinking about storage sheds, outdoor furniture, and outdoor patio accessories. Crushed stone will work, but concrete blocks or slabs are better. And use pressure-treated woods if possible.
Choosing the appropriate outdoor accessories from all the storage sheds, outdoor furniture, and outdoor patio equipment on the market will be the fun part of the project. Just don't forget to tie your new space into the style of the house. Also consider what is popular in the neighborhood, and what will work well with the unique characteristics of your landscape. Decorate that utilitarian shed with a weather-vane, a window box, or some plantings, and you will have a charming little backyard statement, not an ugly eyesore. Invest some thoughtful planning in your outdoor project, and you will create an area that will be pleasing for years to come.
